I'm not convinced the hotels just don't buy the Bibles.
If it was an actual person going around providing all the bibles wouldn't they have to book all of the rooms, surely that would mean that some rooms didn't get a Bible, because they weren't free at the time. But you never see that, you never see a hotel where just one of the rooms has a Bible. It's either all of the rooms, or none of the rooms.
I think it's probably just hotel policy to have Bibles, and it's been like that for years, and now no one really cares anymore but they've still got the Bibles so they're still in the drawers.
Gideons are a guild of Master Lockpickers, so they used to pick the locks of all the hotel rooms to leave their bibles.
These days, improved hotel security means that in many countries, the Gideon bible is less common than it used to be.
where the fuck do they come from? Gidea?
It's a bit by Bill Hicks

All of those who give sources,
Are the same I endorses
The Gideons give out the books in bulk to the hotels, rather than using secret agents.
Imagine wanting to start a hotel and at some point in the process you have to go “and now i need to figure out how to get those bibles into my rooms” as if it is an absolutely necessary component to making a hotel like a minecraft crafting recipe
