Default Does it seem to you that a lot of Evangelicals

worship the Bible? Rather than God? If the entire focus is about the Bible, what is in the Bible, what is not in the Bible, isn't that a form of idol worship?

Scriptures are a means to an end, but it seems to me that for a lot of people, the Bible IS the end.

I haven't talked to an evangelical in a long time. I guess we dont' run in the same circles.

Come on out to the 'burbs and you'll be in them up to your elbows. There were a few here at the party in fact, not that religion was really a topic of discussion.
