Bibles have been booted from The Damson Dene Hotel... and E L James’ BDSM erotica novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" has taken its place in every room within the English inn.

Upon request, the front desk of the hotel will provide bibles. TheFrisky goes on to write "...the replacement has caused much controversy, with people in the United States sending “quite a few e-mails quoting the scripture to [the hotel] and suggesting that it would be a good thing to put the Bible back.”

THEFRISKY.COM reports:
Christian Grey is damn near God-like — at least according to guests’ bedside tables in The Damson Dene Hotel.’

    I mean, think about it - both the Bible and 50 Shades are popular works of fiction. 50 Shades just happens to be a bit more realistic.

    Technically, that's simply not true. The bible applies to those who read it. With ignorance of the bible comes ignorance of all within it.

    ...not sure if serious...

    You really can't see how BDSM, or bad writing in general, might offend someone? What about the very act of replacing a book of such cultural and historical significance as the Bible with a fad like a smutty pulp fiction novel? Fifty Shades of Grey is plenty offensive to the right people, and replacing the Bible with it has to be driving some people ballistic.

    Don't get me wrong: I think it's funny too, and I'm almost surprised nobody ever thought of this before, but that's a far cry from saying it actually makes sense to replace the Bible with Fifty Shades of Grey. It's funny because doesn't make sense...it's totally bizarre and irreverent, like it came straight out of a South Park episode.

    At least it's not Twilight though. ...or actually, nevermind. Someone below noted that Fifty Shades of Grey started out as a Twilight fanfic. This is so rich...although I just found out too that amazon.co.uk has now sold more of these books than the entire Harry Potter series, and E.L. James has overtaking J.K. Rowling as their best-selling author...which is just depressing.

    I'm saying fifty shades is offensive to fewer people, finding a bible in the room would be offensive to most (note I say most not all) non Christians that's the majority of the world population fewer people are offended by a book about a girl in a bdsm relationship. Also it does make some sense because doing so has given them loads of free publicity and I know a few couples planning to stay their just because they did that.

    I think it’s hilarious! I personally wouldn’t read 50 Shades of Grey (the fact that it started as Twilight fan-fiction is all the information I need to know that it’s not something that I would enjoy), but the switch is humorous. I can’t imagine why anyone would care. It’s not like you have to read it just because it’s there. If having a bible available is that important to some people, you would think they would carry their own when they traveled anyway.

    Horrible is a polite word for 50 Shades of Grey what is wrong with people it is so badly written is prose dead. Pathetic rubbish like this just makes me laugh at the author and the fools who enjoy tripe like this garbage.
    And don't come up with "but it is making money" that just reveals your innate foolishness

    Oh no I meant to click horrible. Sorry if you don't like the bible but either way it seems wrong to replace a book respected by so many with a book that is basically porn.

    It's simple the bible only applies to Christians, not all Christians care if it's there, most who would have one on them anyways, and it's also offensive to non Christian customers to find one in their room. Fifty shades however doesn't really offend anyone and attracts all sorts if people, many may be uncomfortable with it but it's not truly offending them.
