Well then by logical extension, any time I have seen a protestant kneeling in prayer holding their Bible we can safely conclude that they are worshipping the Bible. Going strictly by appearances and the rules you have established, it is the only logical conclusion.

Wrong, and plainly so as not analogous, for the charge never was that simply kneeling before something other than God constitutes worship, but that doing so together with adulation with supplication that is never given to any created being, and ascribing to such attributes and glory such as are only ascribed to God would constitute worship in Scripture. Or at least blasphemy.

Yet the closest thing to what Catholics give to Mary is the praise and devotion that is given to the wholly inspired word of God, and abundantly so, which Caths can only wish was given to Mary in Scripture, while the praise of which by Catholics pales in comparison to the adulation and devotion given directly to Mary.

Nope, nice try I know what I have seen with my own eyes both when I was a protestant and now as a Catholic. Please stop denying the plain truth. quite a few of you worship the Bible, you kneel before it, pray to it etc......
