This is what I have observed over 45 years of being in the church. Don't believe me? Try claiming that you have understanding outside of "the book".

because christians, jews, and muslims alike refer to their own holy book and use IT instead of God for their authority.
thus when something is believed to be more truth than that of God himself, it becomes an idol instead of God.

No it did not. It is only your bad and unnecessary comments against Christian people, showing of your no respect for the Christian people. We must respect one another so that there will be no hurt feelings to each and everyone of us. However, if you do so, it is how the way you were raised by your parents and the way how you were taught by your teachers while in school.
Did you ever saw Christian man to have worship a book. We only based our belief to God through that book, the bible not worshiping it. Clear your conscience please.

The book is of supreme importance in christianity...their God claims that he is in fact the book itsself.
"In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God and the WORD was God."
Christianity also will lie, kill, steal, cheat and destroy anything that threatens the validity of the book. No time to be still and know God...too busy reading the book, interpreting the book, using the book, preaching the word (book), spreading the book, looking in the book, shoving the book at others, beating others over the head with the book and on and on.
If there were no book, there would be no christianity. Period.

Book worshipping? I did not know it was. I don't know of any Christians that worship a book, they just believe what the book says, or some of it anyway.

What do you mean by book worshiping? I worship only one thing and that is Jesus who is in the book "BIBLE" but I don't know about this book worshiping.

I would say it is because whenever Christians are asked to prove the existence of God, they just refer to the Bible, it is their way to God.

Not the "book" sweetheart, the WORD. See John 1:1
And if you are a Christian, how can you know God without knowing His Word?

In my experience most Christians aren't interested in other "books"....just the one.

I haven't heard that term but I would suspect it arises from every question asked being answered with "read the bible".
