50 Shades, so I could laugh at it!
Which would you rather find in your hotel room: the Bible or Fifty Shades of Grey?

Yea, I heard about that... decision last night on the radio. When I got home lastnight, I contacted the person who was in charge of making the decision as well as American Decency in hopes of getting a little support. I'm totally opposed to the bible being replaced with THAT book!

If checking into a hotel room, which of those two books would you rather find waiting for you?
(* other is deliberately not a choice ) less

You know, you DON'T HAVE TO READ THE BIBLES! But wanting the bibles out of hotel rooms just because you dislike them doesn't do anything but please you. Why does it matter if there's a bible (this country was built as a "nation under God") in a hotel? You don't have to read it. Heck, you can leave it in a drawer, but it's not right to wish them gone or hope that all bibles are gone just because you do not identify with the religion. A lot of travelling people really find it handy to have a bible on hand. YOUR comment reminded me of this man who was originally from a very different place than our lovely US. He owned a hotel I worked at (here in the US) and demanded that we "hide" each bible in every room. Of course we did not follow that rule, but if it should be the person buying the room's choice, not yours. If you don't want the bible, don't read it, but it should still be available!

There is nothing appealing about 50 Shades, but if it gets them to take the bibles out of the hotel rooms...

Doesn't matter to me. They're both good at being kindling.

Bible, but it's a moot point since I wouldn't read either in a hotel
07/28/2012
i dont like 50 shades of grey, but I would prefer it to the bible
07/28/2012
50 shades please.
07/28/2012
If I saw 50 Shades of Grey in a hotel room, I be wondering what other surprises I don't want to recieve. Bible thanks.
07/28/2012
the bible
07/28/2012
Ugh, neither. The Bible, I guess, because of its vast cultural significance.
07/28/2012
The bible.
07/28/2012
The bible.I read fifty shades of grey and didn't like it.
07/28/2012
hmmm neither

Never ready Fifty Shades. So let me have at it with that book.
09/18/2012
50 shades.
09/18/2012
This is an interesting question I vote for 50.
09/18/2012
They're both trashy novels, so neither would be nice.

LOL! This comment made me spit my drink. But seriously, I chose 50 Shades. I'd like to see how bad it is for myself, but refuse to pay for it.

I would choose 50, because if I were bored in my hotel room I would at least like to have a laugh ; )
09/19/2012
I would rather see the Bible. If I was traveling with my children, I'd rather not have a book of erotic fiction in an area where they could read it.
09/19/2012
Haven't read Fifty Shades yet so I would be eager to read it I think.

Lol, I like this! Although, I haven't read it yet. I JUST started to on Kindle, so I guess I'll see what all the hype is about. But the curiosity does have me drawn to it as I'm trying to go about other things.

50 shades, I might actually read it!
