But even this isn't the most interesting thing to come from this little exercise. What's really interesting is that as I write this, no Protestant has denied they worship the Bible.

I didn't know I'd been asked!

I have never bowed down before my Bible.

I have never spoken to it, and it is an "it".

I have 8 or 10 of them, and use different ones depending on what I'm studying.

I do prefer the large print one though. ;-)

I have never acknowledged it as anything other then a book.

It contains God's mind and his intentions for us, and I've never known one person to treat their Bible as anything other then a good book that one would take normal care of.

I think your barking up the wrong tree with NC’s, we or should I say I, was not brought up by people who seem to need their feelings massaged and stroked as often as most RC’s seem to.

It seems you need statues, and crucifixes, and candles and pictures, sounds, smells and things that stimulate you and make you feel religious. Most of us do not go by feelings, but by the written assurances given us by God.

So mark me down as a non-bible worshiper.

Ever kissed a Bible? I haven't.
