Hotel Bibles at Risk

According to OneNewsNow.com, trends in hotels appear to be moving away from traditionally placed Gideon Bibles. The American Hotel and Lodging Association says use of religious materials in rooms at luxury hotels has dropped by 18 percent since 2001. Instead, many upscale hotels that cater to a younger leisure travel demographic are adding amenities like condoms, intimacy kits, and sexually oriented games. Even so, Myer Hotels of Branson, MO still holds strong. Marketing spokesman Chris Myer says their hotels contain Bibles on display on top of the dresser, open and book-marked. "We get great comments on that," Myer said, adding that he thinks items like "intimacy kits" are still not mainline hospitality fare, but the exception. Still, Myer admits to noticing the Bible-removal trend, chalking it up to the politically correct atmosphere of cultural warfare.
