You have your “own” revelation about God and it does not line up with the martyrs and the saints, whom without them you would not even have Bible canon.

Before and after the Bible they believed the Eucharist was truly Christ present
The Eucharist is greater than the scriptures because Christ is fully present in bodily form under the presence of humble bread and wine.
Try spending some time in Eucharist Adoration,FK
All are welcome to attend.
Go to the local Catholic Diocese website in your area and you should be able to find what Churches offer Adoration.
I assure you that it will be worthwhile to spend this time with our Blessed Lord
I pray you take up this offer ,Dear Brother.
I wish you a Blessed Evening!

You describe the revelation of men. I follow the revelation of God. If the Bible is God's word, then God should be thanked. If we are to thank men, then the Bible is not God's word.

By "they" I assume you mean your men, who represented a part of God's Church. That is irrelevant to me, however, since I do not thank any man for the Bible or its assembly. I give the glory to God. Those men could have had many errant beliefs, but that does not affect what God Himself did.

That is a very interesting admission. Jesus said:
Matt 4:4 : Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
So, for you to say that a physical ritual tops God's own word I find astounding. You are, in effect, almost reversing what Jesus said. Let's not forget that the Bible says that God spoke the universe into existence. How do we top that? :) If we put down the word of God, then we put down God Himself. The power of God's word is greater than any physical ritual.
