Really? I don't see how it's disrespectful to ignore unsolicited proselytizing of beliefs that you don't hold. I wouldn't deliberately damage it, just as I wouldn't deliberately damage any other hotel property. I really don't understand, though, why you would expect me to show special deference to a bible or the Book of Mormon, or any other "holy" book of beliefs I don't hold.
