6 billion people, 6 billion right interpretations of the Bible?

My point is that you are a hypocrite. I am glad that you acknowledge it.

I have already acknowledged that according to Merriam Webster's, that I worship The Bible. But there is more than one shade meaning for worship which means respect and admiration. I have not acknowledged being a hypocrite.

I am so glad that you have finally admitted that, by the dictionary definition, you worship the bible. I realize that there is more to it; there always is. I had a friend who liked to shoplift, I told hem that he was a thief, and he told me that there was more to it. He was a thief by definition only, for he only took things from big department stores. You remind me of him.

I am not the one referring to Mary as the "Mother of God," or the "Queen of Heaven." I certainly do no pray to her or ask her to do anything for me.

Ofcourse you wouldn't ask her for anything, she is a woman

By your definition I do not worship the Bible.

What? By my definition? My definition is based on the dictionary.

Actually your definition is based on one shade of meaning (the fourth one). But my description is based on the first shade of meaning which contradicts your definition.

not true. the bible is self contradictory and paradoxical. in order for there to be only one interpretation , it needs to not conflict with what it said in one place form another place. yet it does. the bible also has mathematical, historical and logical contradictions. overall the more reasonable thing to say is that it has many interpretations. the true thing to say is that its all made up and no interpretations are correct as the book is fallacious and made up.

Oh, that's so funny. Ha ha ha. I think you're so cool bashing the Bible. Ha ha ha. Freedom of Speech and all is great, yeah. Cool though, how you choose to bring down the beliefs of others. I think I should kowtow before you. Because you're so great.

Main Entry: 1 wor·ship
Pronunciation: 'w&r-sh&p also 'wor-

Etymology: Middle English worshipe worthiness, respect, reverence paid to a divine being, from Old English weorthscipe worthiness, respect, from weorth worthy, worth + -scipe -ship

2 : reverence offered a divine being or supernatural power; also : an act of expressing such reverence
3 : a form of religious practice with its creed and ritual
4 : extravagant respect or admiration for or devotion to an object of esteem (worship of the dollar)

The fourth shade of meaning fits your supposed, semantic, description of me. But the first shade of meaning (which I use) contradicts what you say about what the word worship means.

^ I don't see how it contradicts anything.

Worship and bowing down was also used in language to give reverence, respect to one of knowledge or to ones superior. It is the same with the word Lord. Many cultures today use these types of words such as Nameste, bowing and such in greetings..
