I expected this reply. Do Jews "worship" the Torah when they wrap it in cloth and even give it a funeral when it's damaged? Do others of us build altars to the bible and pray to it, burn candles and bow down before it? Do we build images of it and dress it up and parade it thru streets with gold on its head on its special feast days? There is a definite difference, and this is a weak argument to Mariology.
God Himself tells us to meditate upon it day and night, plus lots more, yet there are no instructions from Him regarding worshiping creatures. And that is the difference, the bible is not a creature.
