Careful

Dear Roy, in my experience people who love the bible worship the Author. I see constant warnings in many communities about "worshiping the bible" and I think that's a line for an objective I don't understand. I think its used so that people feel guilty for loving the scriptures, so they'll put it down, so they're more susceptible to hearing what the ones warning have to say, perhaps.

Because its always said this way: "Yes, we love the bible but we must be careful not to make it a god" or "we must be careful not to worship it." Its intimating that others are doing that, whereas I'm not aware of anyone who does that. The easiest thing for me when told this would just be to "Amen" it. That would get me a lot more friends. But I don't understand the point of the statement, or why it has become such a mantra in religious circles.--rhonda
