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.

That's why I think there should be a book list that the guests can use if they wish.

if he were fat and ugly and poor most women would feel the way, but since hes rich and handsome its romantic and steamy. to have some angry man make all the choices for you while you're chained to a wall. now if that awas a 22 year old blonde with pig tails and knee high stockings doing the same thing to the man i wonder if that would be on the best sellers list for men lol

I am a Christian (or I wish to be, who knows what Jesus thinks), but this is freaking awesome! I am glad that religion is not being forced onto others. I do think it rather drastic to switch it out for erotica. very gutsy, indeed. :)

Well people don't go to hotels to read.. They go to have a place to stay on vacation lol
...btw If you go to a hotel that's done this with your children you can just hide it! Jeez.. No one is forcing you to read it. Besides, not everyone is Christian so why provide a strictly Christian book? Well, you do not have to read it either.. You know what, I don't care. Hotels can put in doctor seuss books if they what. Or better yet, provide a movie..

That's terrible.

Gosh, what if a child picked the book up and started reading it out of curiosity? That's awful.

There's some pretty awful stuff in the Bible , too. I think they should have a list of titles available upon request.

You're very very ignorant if you're legitimately comparing that porno book to the Bible. You can't be serious.

I didn't compare anything. I just said there was awful stuff in both and there is. The Bible may not have nearly as much , but there are passages about incest as well as other things I wouldn't want my child reading.

What I find hilarious about this is the reaction. Unless you're planning to go to England and stay at this inn, why care? It's likely just catering to its clientele like any smart business. If you don't like it, don't stay there.

If that were the mentality of every user on this site for every post, then sodahead pretty much wouldn't exist. 90% of the questions we answer have no relevancy to our lives yet we still answer them. Why? It's an opinion site. We express our feelings here, it is what it is.

And what about the idiots that are sending emails to the hotel? I think that might be the reaction that CCC is referring to. And like they said, for anyone that doesn't like it... don't go there.

What a sad world we are living in. We were warned that when the end was close the world would "be like in the days of Noah", and here we are . . . "God, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Bit by bit people are "removing" God from our country. And this is just one more thing to prove it. Well guess what? God gave us fair warning in this scripture. And many have chosen to ignore it. Now look at how horrible this country has become?

This country was founded on religious freedom; if someone wants to remove God from their life, who's to stop them?

Plus that's a British hotel...
