Jesus is Christ and is worshiped by all Christianity. He was not a needlebutt and understood about turning cheeks. Mary, though respected by all Christianity, is only 'worshiped' by Catholics, almost as a oxymoron of the first commandment disclaimer of 'false gods'. Christians are secure that Christ is predominant but Catholics are insecure because their Mary mythology is threatened.

True gods and false gods. Faith "A" is real, Faith "B" is not. Blah, blah, blah...

When talking about faith, a secure person has respect for other people's faith based beliefs. After all, we are talking about faith.

Look up the word faith in the dictionary and then you, grunt should offer proof why Faith "A" is deserving of more respect than Faith "B".

Faith is very personal and subjective, however, the First Commandment isn't;

Traditional translation (this example Aryeh Kaplan) is as follows: (20:3) "Do not have any gods before Me. Do not represent (such gods) by any carved statue or picture or anything in the heaven above or the earth below or in the water below the land. Do not bow down to or worship them."

Goodness, there seems to be a major violation of this commandment within the Catholic Church. Y'know, the holy trinity stuff ...
