We certainly see nothing in Scripture to support bowing or praying to dead people, but quite the opposite!

I pray to the Mother of Jesus for intercession on my behalf and on behalf of those I pray for. She, who was the only human-being ever born without original sin, and upon His will was brought up into Heaven.
"Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Amen."

I guess that fully God and fully man thing flies out the window where Mary is concerned?

Pardon me for piling on, but this is really something that warrants attention. If you meant to say that Mary was the only human being with an exclusively human nature (not divine) who was born without original sin, then you would still be wrong, but at least you would not be running afoul of the doctrine of Christ shared by Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. Jesus, though He was fully divine, was also fully human, and born without original sin. He therefore qualifies as both human, and born without original sin. Your words *must* include Him, or you have rejected your own orthodoxy. I am sure it is accidental on your part. If you don't trust us, call your priest and ask.

Peace,

SR
