Bet you never thought you'd see this....
Students at a university in Scotland have voted to ban the Bible from residence halls because its presence might make non-Christian uncomfortable, according to The Scotsman.
Stirling University Students' Association wants to remove up to 6,000 copies of the Gideon Bible from more than 2,000 dorm rooms.
Citing the Scottish Executive's One Scotland Many Cultures campaign, the students said representing one faith was not in the spirit of equality.
Al Wilson, president of the association, said: "It's promoting one faith over others, so we're trying to encourage the university to still retain the Bibles within the buildings themselves, but not necessarily in the rooms."
