Apparently the Bible is World's most shoplifted book.

My money is on the agnostics.

One source includes Bibles taken from hotel rooms as "shoplifted", but the Gideon Society, who places them there, wants them to be taken.

Yeah I suspected as much.

That said, I've been in many hotels in my time and haven't yet come across one. (Perhaps they self combust when an atheist books the room?)

Maybe it's just because you live in a godless country.🙂

I have worked in 2 different hotels for the past 8 years and hotels don't care if there is a bible in the room. If the Gideon people contact us we ask them to send more.
On another note, 2 times the bible was replaced with another text.
1. Book of Mormon
2. Clan of the Cave Bears

🙂 I had to google The Clan of the Cave Bear:

'An epic historical novel by Jean M. Auel about prehistoric times. It is the first book in the Earth's Children book series which speculates on the possibilities of interactions between Neanderthal and modern Cro-Magnon humans.'

They are excellent novels. You should read them!

Sometime people should take a look at the threads started on the Spirituality Forum.
So many of them thrive on the negative.

A scandal over here.
Some hypocrisy over there.
Some religious crimes over there.
Some scandalous misbehavior somewhere.

To often nothing positive is presented as a topic.
Invariably the emphasis is the trashy thing that someone did somewhere.

(I'm watching my own tendency in this too)

It's a purely US thing, that I have seen more in the Bible Belt and Midwest.

When an atheist enters a room, logic exits the room.

You mean the faith?

Do you know what logic is?
