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.

One small correction pertaining to part of my own comments;

I see this was posted in "bloggers and personal" rather than "religion".

I guess you can use the term "B.S." here. Then again, if so, I could fire that right back, aimed squarely at your own comments/portion of a comment.

It would be best to not aim things at persons themselves. But hey, I can do it too --if you were to insist upon it.

Please, don't tempt me.
