The Gideons have been placing Bibles in hotels for generations. Nothing has changed. It's your side that wants to tear down traditions that actually are good for society.
Oh, they have been placing them in state run lodgings for generations? Where are all these lodgings? I am sure the FFRF would love to know about them.

You don't seem capable of understanding that the Gideon's are not the ones doing the placing. So, when you do understand that, maybe you can join the rest of us here in reality.

Your apologetics pretending to justify Allah as a generic term for God is absurd. It is just as absurd as trying to justify the name Jesus as a generic term for God. God is NOT a religion-specific term and does not in any way establish anything to do with any religion.
I just showed you where indeed it is a generic term meaning God. Just because it isn't in your language doesn't make it less so.

So what if they aren't? The placing of a Bible is not endorsement of a religion, nor is it restricting any other religion.

It is when TAXPAYER funds are used. But you have been told that more than once, and seem to forget it.

But it is using tax payer money to do so.

Well, that is simply not true. What is a Bible if not a religious text?

Even if taxpayer funds are used....so what? What religion is being endorsed or denied by Bibles being placed in a room?

The poster stated that the Gideons have been putting bibles in HOTELS for generations. It is you who inferred anything about "state run."
