Being able to hear a prayer is a god function. Being able to respond to prayer is a god function. If Mary can do these things then she is a god. If she can’t then it is simply idiotic to attempt to pray to her.Your point you seem to be making is "praying to Mary" => that someone is God. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If she can hear and respond then she has godlike powers which make her a god. The reason why Christians pray to their other gods and try to claim there is only one god is simply internal rationalization. Outwardly Christianity has 5 primary gods.When Catholcis pray to Mary, they are asking Mary to pray for them, to intercede for them, and to show us Jesus.
Pretty much like the lesser Greek gods with Zeus having the supreme power.Correct. Without God, even Mary would not have any power.
If people who pray want maximum effectiveness then why not pray directly to the head god instead of a lesser god?But due to Mary's closeness to God, her prayers are more effective than our doubt filled prayers.
This and the rest of your prayer dissertation didn’t answer the question and seemed to miss the point. If only God has the real power and is the only god then why pray to someone or anything else instead?..to say that only praying to God benefits someone is not right.

By this rational Buddhists, Shinto, Mohammedans, and Taoists are Satanists as well. Basically anyone who doesn’t believe as Xian’s believe are Satanists.Enigma'07 said:I don't think they worship Satan, they just serve him.
