"Where did you get that idea?"

What makes you think that thought was involved. When one is incapable of understanding or differentiating between veneration and worship even after having it patiently explained to them many, many, many times I am not willing to acknowledge the ability to rationally think.

To: Natural Law
▸ verb: regard with feelings of respect and reverence; consider hallowed or exalted or be in awe of ("We venerate genius") MacMillan Dictionary. I know my own religion, Natural Law. We are taught to venerate, meaning have enormous respect and even love, for the Blessed Virgin. Love, in the religious sense does NOT mean adore. Adore, again in the religious sense, means to hold one ABOVE all others. Go ahead and explain it all you want, I do know what I was taught in Catholic school.
