Ian McKellen vs. Hotel Bibles

As one who served with the Gideons for 10 years, I can say such people are not hurting the hotels. They are hurting the Lord's people (always evangelicals) who struggle to place the Bibles there, and the other later occupants of the room for whom that Bible may be (and often is) the last straw between them and suicide.

Give this thoughtful, caring Sodomite a big hand! /sarc

from the belief.net article: “hotels ‘provide both Bibles and porn because they don’t get to judge their guests.’”

Omni hotels removed porn from their rooms in 1999 and Marriott International did it in 2011. The move has been successful for Omni who say a lot of people don’t want the temptation of porn in their room. It has helped them get a lot of religious convention business. Believers should try to patronize and even publicize these hotels.

Thanks for that info. I will pass the word.

Exactly. Doesn’t he realize that the original manuscripts have those passages forever written by the hand of God regardless of what he or anyone else does to a copy of them?

‘“The openly gay ‘Lord of the Rings’ star admits to a habit of tearing out the Bible passage that condemns homosexuality — (“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” – Leviticus 18:22)’

This article is misleading. It’s not passage but passages including:

Genesis 19:4-7

Leviticus 18:22

Leviticus 20:13

Romans 1:26-27

I Corinthians 6:9-10

I Timothy 1:8-11

Jude 7

Does Mr. McKellen rip those out as well?
