Reparation for Blasphemy Against the Blessed Virgin Mary

Thank you for your helpful clarification of the issue. Blasphemy is a sin against God -- or, in this case, The Goddess. You make the Protestant case ost eloquently by your choice of that word, blasphemy.

I'm sorry the God of the Bible is insufficient for you, since you feel the need for supplemental deities.

Ya think?

blas·phe·my
Pronunciation: 'blas-f&-mE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -mies
1 a : the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God b : the act of claiming the attributes of deity
2 : irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable

It seems you are so ingrained in your Protestant prejudice you can't reason clearly.

If you really want to love and serve the Lord as you claim to do, why don't you ask Our Lord to give you His heart with which to love His Mother. What have you got to lose? I'm sure He would grant you this grace if you asked with a sincere and humble heart.

Prayer to a pile of discarded giftwrap
O blessed pile of gift wrap, you are the finest gift wrap available! Created in holy paper mills through the divine handiness of thine crafts persons! Forgive me my vain and contemptuous over-use of scotch tape, and the many times I ripped your corners whilst wrapping boxes with sharp edges! Thine tube is an eternal delight to the righteous and your underside pure as the whitest of snows.

Please note that, as a worshipper of giftwrap you must respect my religeous convictions or I will report you to the AdminModerator. :P
