The cross is a symbol of faith not to be worshiped, but to serve as a reminder that God gave his only son for the sins of mankind. I don't see how worshiping the Bible and worshiping the word of God, (even though it is found in the Bible), can be seen as the same thing.
again i never said you put the book on an alter and pray to the book... that is easy to grasp, but the point is people do worship the bible, they may not know it but they do. read the definition of worship and don't tell me it doesn't fit like a glove. its like saying the bible isn't a relic... umm ok, i guess they must have different dictionarys for christians b/c they obviously don't have the same meaning w/ words in the english language.

go ask your neighbor if he/she worships the bible... do i even need to wait for the answer to that question. ok.
