I own a bible. And a Koran. :o

Me too! :hug:

Actually, I have two bibles.

I have a set of New Testament Apocrypha.  :pope:
Not that I've read them.
Not that I've read the canonical Gospels, too  :blush:

Wouldn't you kill all the hotel guests?

Again, this is also a mainly American phenomenon I think. I don't remember every staying at a hotel room in Europe that would have a Bible in the drawer.

The percentage of respondents who said they had a Bible at home was 93 percent in the United States, 85 percent in Poland, 75 percent in Italy, 74 percent in Germany, 67 percent in both the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, 65 percent in Russia, 61 percent in Spain and 48 percent in France.

So we kill almost all the Americans and Poles, most of the Russians but less than half of the French?

It seems Christmas is early this year.  :frog:

Maybe. Our big supplier, Gideon's, says that they are active in placing bibles in Europe and then globally said that they gave out 73 million last year.

I've read bits and pieces. Inherited one from my grandmother and then had one for school.

I think maybe I was at a hotel room with a Bible in it once. I think it was in the UK. I left a complaint in the form you leave at the reception desk.

And why are you calling them "your big supplier"? Are you a fucking Bible salesman now?

Actually, it was one of the only times I ever left a complaint at a hotel. The other time was staying at the Hilton in Prague and I left what I thought was an anonymous review form, complaining the wide range of porn channels available on the hotel tv did not include any gay porn.

They sent me an e-mail apologising. Apparently, the forms were not anonymous.  <_<

As in the group that supplies bibles in US hotels. :mellow:

The Bible.  :cool:

Ooh.  Russian domination of Europe or Muslim.  Who would it fall to?

You would be surprised about it. Europe is not the US - people here do not normally own the Bible.

Educated people do.

I've never seen a Bible in a Swedish hotel room. The New Testament is standard though.

It's a protestant phenomena, we have Gideons in scandinavia.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yeah, Europe is not the US.  It can't defend itself.  No America, no free Europe.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Having a bible from the Gideon's is reasonably common in German hotels as far as I can tell. I've seen catechisms as well.
