Good for you!
I’ve done the exact same thing at NC rest stops...except the pamphleteers were still there. They had littered the ladies bathroom so I grabbed all the flyers, held them by the corner, and there happened to be a state trooper outside. I showed him what I had, and said: lookit here, this trash was all over the rest room!
Then I threw it away. The church people ran to their van and took off.
It’s littering to leave pamphlets on property or cars.

Same as you

I do the same thing at hotels, if I see them in my room. But the one's in the dr. clinics I just leave cause it's not my home.

I wouldn't have the nerve to do that.

Not sure what I would have done there but if I have some free time in hotels I do a bit of editing of the gideon's that you find, I start out with a new preface of This is a work of fiction and any resemblance to people living or dead is purely coincidental. Never had time to to put in markers for where is contradicts itself but have dog eared a few pages and written on them read this first (mainly the pages about not being judgmental and speaking lies)

What religion was it?

Early this morning I did an hour bike ride and this evening I have partaced of a couple of barley pops (aka beer).

It depends on my mood, maybe toss them, but I never remove the gideons bibles from the hotel rooms...

I wonder how many nonbelievers have been converted by a pamphlet? I'm thinking you'd have to be mentally flaccid for that to happen. I probably wouldn't throw them out because, why bother? Unless they were strewn about like trash.

You could get in trouble with the law in that backward state.
