I was out of town for a funeral of a dear family member. While staying in the hotel I found comfort in reading some passages in the Bible. I also referenced things from it for my memorial speech. Why is that such a problem for you? If you don't want to read it - don't. Same as some of your posts, or mine, or anyones for that matter.

Good point. Seems kinda familiar . . .

This whole thing is a non-issue -- the Bibles are still available at the front desk upon request at these hotels and no one should really care if the books actually are placed in the drawers.

maybe they put bibles in hotel rooms for all the people who decide to get loaded then do themselves over in them. Maybe some people think they should be there for those people who might find some solace in the book which they'd never ask for if it weren't there.

Personally, if you don't want to read it, then don't. I agree with kitsune here. It's a non-issue.

It is not a problem beyond that I find religious proselytizing to be a low/deceitful practice and enjoy seeing anything that gets in its way.

[on rant]Well I see your bashing of religion, any religion, something you choose to not believe in or are incapable of believing in, to be equally offensive. You seem to have a heck of a negative attitude. Why don't you try something more positive like love or caring? I have read many, many of your posts about you family and so on. Why is it so hard for you to treat others with that same love and respect? Oh thats right - you don't believe.....nevermind - as you were. [off rant]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't blame rage's neuroses and general dickishness on his atheism. I'm very much an atheist, but you don't see me being a bitch about everything, do you?
Don't confuse cause, effect, and coincidence.

It's hard to be a little bit atheist.

In no way did I bash religion, sock, I simply bashed a tactic.
No reading comprehension?
There are classes for that.

Not at all; what do you think agnosticism is?

Atheism:
A-non, theist-believer in a god.
Agnostics are atheists, they just don't like the word.
Most Buddhists, many Wiccans, agnostics, Brights, non-theists, undecideds, all of them... if they don't actively believe in a god they are an atheist.
Sam Harris has been a whiny little bitch about the word lately... it is just an accurate description.

Shawnee123 · 11-27-2007, 09:02 AM

Agnostics admit they don't have a clue. Atheists believe there is no god, no way. Big difference.

No, agnostics believe it is impossible to know. Atheists lack belief in gods. You can be one, the other, both, or neither. Some atheists have afirmative belief in the nonexistence of gods, but most simply lack belief.
