Dear Albert,
Why does it bother you whether Roman catholics venerate Mother Mary or not?
Faith is just a belief in an entity higher than one's self.
If you must know the cult of the female goddess predates worship of any male
God, primarily because it took man sometime to figure out that it was actually
him that was responsible for impregnation. Prior to that religion was
female-dominated as she was perceived to be the font of life.
All these theological arguments you are putting forward after late-night
conversations with your Born-again buddies are really superfluous, superficial
and worst of all ignorant. That's the problem with Born-agains, they profess to
know about things, call themselves pastors, when most of them are out-of-work
conmen out to deceive people of their money. Be honest Albert, tell us exactly
what your monthly donation is? I understand it's directly linked to how much
you earn.
A word of advice, just respect other people's beliefs if they don't impinge on
yours or harm society in general.
Best,
selma
