A better choice of words on my part may have conveyed my point better...

‘We can learn about history from a history book, but that doesn’t make the book as important as the history itself.’ And it doesn’t make the book the foundation of that history.

And none of the above, from you or I, negates the reality that “Some people worship the Bible, and some people worship Jesus. And often, the people who worship the Bible castigate the people who worship Jesus for not worshipping the Bible...!”

That we can learn about historical events that happened thousands of years ago from documentation, doesn’t mean that those events exist ‘because of’ the documentation. Those events still happened, regardless of the existence or not of the documentation.

I don’t worship the Bible. If others choose to, so be it.

My beliefs are not threatened by those who choose to worship the Bible.

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
