Mirto and Ernest Simpson, members of a Florida area Gideons group, were handing out Bibles in front of a public high school last January when they were arrested. When asked the charge, the officer responded that they'd be informed within 48 hours. Allegedly, they were also told they could "pray to Jesus all the way to jail."

This reminds me of a story I read while overseas about an entire hotel chain that just decided to remove the Bibles placed by Gideons because they'd had one complaint. Remind me again what country it is we live in?
