I travel a lot for both work and pleasure, and those things are still common. I like affixing one of the many available “warning labels” that call attention to the hazards of that book (or “books,” since it’s really an anthology). This one is from FFRF, but many others are out there. Also, not hard to make your own.

I think I might ruffle the pages. Take the end of the page & stick it into the binding part until it looks like a peacock. I recently recycled my bibble from a youthful foray into various religions as a study not as a convert. I did not like the smell of the bibble. Not a bad scent. Just recalls times better left forgotten.

I haven't seen a Bible in a hotel in years. But taking it to cost a religious group money sounds like a good deed to me. I always take pamphlets and stuff when religious zealots are handing them out and throw them in the garbage.

I've never thought about the proper response before.

Maybe you should leave it outside your door so it can be picked up with the used room service trays?

I think it's the Marriott chain that gives you The Book of Mormon.

Because I don't have a belief in the organized sense of God within any religion, it doesn't give me a sense towards purposely suppressing others from their beliefs. I feel that would be virtually the same hypocritical actions we see in to many aspects of freedom of information we witness today. Quite frankly, such sadistic measures would only help the cause of all sects of religion to add these types of actions to their already negative outlook on us. More disturbing and degrading to us, a fascist aspect.
