Nobody said she was God but you had to jump in and make sure if somebody says something good about Mary we must make sure to say shes not God.

Its always the same thing when people go after Catholics - and its absolute BS. And by the way the Bible tells us Jesus does listen to his mom -

You should read that part about wedding at Cana, where she (the party) runs out of wine - son do your thing. Its not my time. Son, make the wine. Okay mom. I'm sure its in the Chick tracks you must have seen it.

I see that you did not supply answer to just "how" I was allegedly "rip[ping] on Jesus's mom.

Instead, you said,

And you know this -- how? You know my motivations could be put in the terms you chose to identify those -- how? Based on what?

I "went after Catholics" you say? No, I did not. What I did was speak towards religious beliefs, and perceptions. That is different.

In the past I've seen comments deleted for reason of including scatological reference, including that very abbreviation. What you said about myself, and my alleged motivations -- approaches being in that sort of realm. You said it, you used the term, not me.

I have read that already, and more than once, including having gained further understanding regarding the setting. One thing for a certainty is that the texts do not indicate that Mary said as you put it; son do your thing in those words, or even implicitly that being what Mary was saying. TO arrive at that interpretation is to impose upon the text anachronistically Mariology that developed only much later, centuries after time of Christ, and his chosen apostles.

Materials from that source have long been banned from FR. Mentions of that source are for the most part also banned. Using that as place where someone is alleged to (accused of?) having gotten their info -- if that is what you were intending, is also out-of-bounds for a variety of reasons.
