In America, every hotel room has a Bible

Is this true for your country?

who would be annoyed by that?

I'd definitely read it if I hadn't brought in better stuff

>muh bible

Ecclesiastes is a great book, no memeing.

apparently

all of is it is of great literary value.

I don't think the point was that it annoys people. Most people wouldn't care one way or the other, except for butthurt militant atheists or Satanists I guess.

Only in the shitty south

wtf
of course not

But is it the protestant version? the mormon one?

i only read roman catholic (maybe orthodox too) versions, sorry

if pr*testants are so keen on bible-thumping, why do they allow themselves to read the translated version (in other words: the ALTERED version) rather than the original Greek?

Checkm8, prods

No, I've seen them from Colorado to California

Some do. I'd say a third for a very rough estimate.
Probably goes up significantly in the countryside.

Th-there are separate Catholic and Protestant versions of the bible? I didn't know that.

People aren't annoyed by it, only atheists and edgy pagans and satanists

Some hotels have a Bible and a Jewish book, some hotels have a bible and a book of Mormon

Muslims don't really mind here, although you will never find a quaran in a hotel.

I remember reading a story a while back when a satanist when to the reception desk screaming about the bible and demanded a satanic bible
Literally everywhere, in I'm NJ right now
Because God promised his word would be kept through the ages
Neither?

KJV isn't protestant only, I'm not sure what version is in my hotel

The correct version heathen

Orthodox and Catholic study bibles

No, it's nationwide.

Gideons is a protestant organization

It's the same here.

Catholic bible is the word of god

The others are just heteric gibberish spawned by the anglosaxon demons

Well, different translations, based on relative emphasis and dogma, whether to include the Deuterocanon, etc.

Also, I'm going to remind you that the bible says righteous Christians exist in all churches

>implying Luther and Calvin aren't the arch-protestants

I know you're memeing, but >implying Bible Thumpers know a lick of anything other than English

KJV is protestant

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Bible#Catholic_English_versions

Yeah, see them pretty much all the time. Apart from center parcs, if that counts as a hotel room.

A lot of the bible is boring as fuck, just listing dates of people who lived and died.

I have no idea why protestants care so much about the Old Testament when it's the New Testament that makes Christians different from Jews.

They're ubiquitous in American Hotel rooms. They're usually in the side table drawers, which I doubt most people use, so they're there if you want them, out-of-sight-out-of-mind if you don't.

>I know you're memeing
I was actually only half-memeing

If you're going to be all heretical about "sola scriptura" and completely intransigent about how you interpret the bible, then it makes no sense to rely on a translated version.

I'm staying in a hotel in Texas at the moment and we have that exact bible in the OP plus the book of Mormon.

>>Because No One Has Ever Proven That the KJV is Not God's Word

fucking kekked

Because, at least doctrinally, the Old Testament contains a shit ton of foreshadowing to Jesus, and thus is conclusive proof that God had planned Jesus all along and informed the Jews, who (at least according to rabid fundamentalists) immediately became vile snakes when they rejected Jesus.

I myself am atheist (inb4 "opinion discarded"), but Jesus did tell his disciples to spread his word among all peoples, so a translated version makes sense, especially when all of man's languages come short of the true Word of God.

...

Tbh lad, god promised his pure word would exist and that there would be many mistranslations

There's alot of proddie and Anglican versions like the new englosh translation and nkjv that actually leave out entire passages


I read KJV because it's what I'm most comfortable with

really

He doesn't realize it because it is the most common bible here

We got the coran

I read the KJV because it's essentially THE English Translation of the Bible and thus feels the most biblical.

This is true

I went to CCD (1 hour long Catholic school I had every Thursday) and we read KJV

KJV isn't denominationaly exclusive

kek

ateo

>oregon

Yes

Respect brethren

as long as you aren't atheist i consider you my religion brothers

Some hotels do, some don't. My university halls had them until SJW's started complaining that it triggers them and they're now in the process of being removed.

It refers to "the Messiah", of which like 30 other people before Jesus claimed to be.
>(at least according to rabid fundamentalists) immediately became vile snakes when they rejected Jesus.

I'm always impressed with how little fundies actually know about the History of Judea before Christ desu.

>God promised his word would be kept through the ages
>there must be an infallible book somewhere
Sure, but that doesn't mean that men cannot lie and/or alter his word. To take an extreme example, if I tried translating the bible to say, German (let's pretend there are currently no German versions which exist), even though my German is VERY limited and I would mostly just rely on the help of Google translate, would that bible still be "the holy word of God"? Not really, what would come out would be rubbish.

This is why I simply can't buy into biblical literalism or any form of sola scriptura. Biblical scripture is no doubt rooted in the word of God, but men are not fucking God, as soon as men touch the word of God of fucking course it's going to be altered, mistranslated, etc. If you want to seek the word of God which he promised, it cannot be done with just scripture.

aeiou

I unironically have that exact red one at home

Right and saint worship and incense is the key to that

2bh every hotel that I've traveled here got one. And I have traveled all BR states with access to the ocean

Another way to seek the true word of God is to just ask God himself


Seek and ye shall find

couple in Ireland had them

true

>saint worship
here we go again

they do actually user, its just in the beside table not on it.

He is right about the saint worship desu

When I went to CCD we had to kneel and pray to statues of Mary and the saints

you don't pray TO them, you ASK them to pray for you

I don't know what's the most common form in English, but in French you literally say "priez pour nous", which means "pray for us"

Funny, I don't remember seeing one.
It's been almost a year since I last stayed at a hotel, though.

Which is unnecessary and redundant. It's literal paganism

We were never told that, I guess it's different by Catholic school

>yfw

>Been in loads of hotel rooms over the years
>Never bothered to look for a bible so I have no idea how common they are

There's a few hotels with a bible, but it's less and less common. You'd find more room service menus with various leaflets than you'd find one with a bible.

Okay Europeans real talk for just a second. I'm not joking and I'm not memeing right now: Do any hotels there put qurans in the rooms?

Yeah, most of Christianity in practice is paganism grafted onto the image of Jesus, such as that and Christmas. Fundamentalists do arguably practice a truer form of Christianity, but it seems awful boring 2bh.

lol no

not even in turkey

It'd be in the drawer in the stand next to the bed

The Old Testament is better written.
t. not a Jew

He was asking Europe

No, never.

It would be considered bad taste and trigger complaints.

I know...it's probably illegal under one of your fedora laws. Thanks, Third Republic.

You have a bunch of fedora laws too. Thanks, Atajew.

Not illegal (unless the room is provided by the government), just bad taste.

We also have a couple. Thanks Jefferson.

You...used to have a bunch of fedora laws.

it is always in a random drawer.

No we have a koran instead.

Look up The Gideons.

Same here. Having something to read or watch during a sleepless night is comforting.

I stayed in a motel room by myself outside of Chicago for two nights, in order to see a concert. Was a long solo road trip, I got drunk alone in the room both nights. The room's window had a bullet hole in it, kek.

I did get the bible out while I was drunk and bored, and thumbed through it a bit. It was a typical Gideon placement, just like the OP.

It has porn channels

>Some hotels have a Bible and a Jewish book

Sup, New Yorkuh.

You are absolutely incorrect. I don't think I've ever been in a hotel room without a Bible, and I'm a northerner.

In small older hotels there's always a bible. In fancy new ones usually in big cities it's really a 50/50 chance. I remember reading an article about how some hotels actually receive complaints about there being bibles which I think is sad.

Went to Vegas for work and my hotel had one. Right next to the phone book with prostitute ads.

I always fan through the pages to see if some note or even money falls out.

Canada is truly beyond saving.

I know which country wouldn't. Russia. Get it? Because they can't spare money for the paper haha

I knlw your memeing, but protestants are the reason why they started translating Bibles. So everyone could read it, not just priests who had studied Latin.
