FFRF: Request No More Bedside Bibles At Hotels


You may come up with your own F words to describe your opinion of the anti-Bible organization. It actually means Freedom From Religion Foundation. And it’s mad as hell!

FFRF has contacted thousands of major hotel and motel chains with the request that the traditional Gideon Bibles be taken away. According to FFRF, the books in each room are offensive to guests who are non-Christian.

For more than a century, Gideon International has placed millions of the Bibles, printed in many languages, in travelers’ hotel rooms throughout the world. Has anyone on either side of the argument yet suggested replacement books of inspiration? How about these titles:

New Taiwan Hotel Rooms Are Miniature Casinos PDF Print E-mail


Gone are the days of the one-armed bandit and other coin-operated mechanical machines. Today’s casinos feature all kinds of electronic slots that give you colorful displays while taking in many of your paper dollars. However, things they are a’changing!

The newly opened, five-star i-Hotel  in Taouan claims to be the world’s first total e-gambling mecca. Each guest room is equipped as a mini-casino, with two multi-purpose computers featuring electronic versions of the traditional casino slot machines, as well as fun computer games, movies and regular TV programs.

There are also computerized gambling machines in the super-modern hotel lobby and other areas of the luxury destination. Quoted room rates are listed from about $50 a night.
