I found, on my honeymoon, a copy of a Gideon Bible whose back blank pages were used for making a disturbing pen trace of a turgid body part.

that was the last time I ever opened a bible in a hotel room.

Now rocky raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideons bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

See? Problem solved, sometimes the simplest answer is the best one.

I guess it’s like the newspapers in the lobby. If I don’t want one, I don’t buy one and read it.

They could leave a few sticks of dynamite in the drawer so that practitioners of the Religion Of Peace can do what they do best.

...what to do with religious feelings of non-Christian hotel guests?

Place a large boldly printed sign (in several different Islamic dialects, of course) up behind the registration desk and in every room, informing guests that they have a right not to read the Bibles if they don't want to. That way they may settle for flushing, or otherwise desecrating them; rather than setting fire to or blowing up, the hotel.

Maybe.

They could follow the lead of the Mariott hotel chain and also put a Book of Mormon in each room.

Oh, you mean they weren’t concerned about the Mormons?

Well in the USA they are dumping the Gospel Truth for Al Gore's lies and putting copies of the book An Inconvenient Truth in the hotel rooms.

What a world!!
Dumping God's Truth and replacing it with a Liberal Man's LIE!!!

Convert them! They might not like it at first, but they will thank you for it eventually.
