Penn State yanks Bibles after atheists complain

Campus Reform

 
... "FFRF claims in their statement that Penn State officials confirmed to them that the Bibles have been removed from the two university-run inns, but Powers confirmed to Campus Reform that the Bibles can still be found by guests in public areas.

“ 'The Gideon Bibles have not been removed from our hotels,” Powers said. “The Bibles have been removed from individual guest rooms. Bibles and other publications are now available in our libraries and other public access areas (our Nittany Lion Inn has two libraries).”

"Powers said that the Bibles had been in the Nittany Lion Inn rooms for “decades” and had been in place in the Penn State Conference Center Hotel for “probably a dozen years.' ”

The thrust of the Scriptures is not the ordained killing of unbelievers, but a history of times when such thing were done. The final message that is applicable to us now is the story of how humanity became to be as warped as we see that it is. Then it gives the story of the redemption our Creator offers to us.  TD
