You won't even look at its actual history. You won't question whether or not what it claims might or might not conform to reality, and you claim it is itself inerrant, like only a god can be.
You have made an idol of your Bible.
I worship the God spoken about in the bible
Right. And you have also made an idol of that Bible, by placing it at a level that cannot be truly questioned or challenged, considering it inerrant (above the errors of human hands/brains, and thus supernatural/godlike), and of itself a Holy thing. It is a physical object to which you give absolute reverence.
If that is not an idol, I'm curious to know what would qualify?

I don't think the bible is God. if you were to burn my bible in front of me i wouldn't shriek
Yeah, so not the point. You consider it to be inerrant, unquetionably followed, and a holy physical object. You think that its words contain the essence and definition of your God(s). You worship according to its dictates, and you dare not question whether or not doing so makes you a cult member, or you will be "cursed".
Hmmm. Yeah, Bible Idolator.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
