I'm not trying to suggest that your assertions are inauthentic, insincere etc.
And, I certainly cannot discern precisely anyone's heart attitude etc.
However, I have an extensive number of individual, couple, family group counseling hours . . . probably around 5,000 or so.
I KNOW from all that experience that all of us have varying levels of insight ABOUT OUR OWN inner values, beliefs, constructions on reality.
I KNOW that all of us humans have a real CAPACITY to LABEL many things about ourselves--to label inner states, beliefs, constructions on reality etc. QUITE ASKEW from "objective" reality that many who know us best might attest to.
Couple THAT with the certainly unconscious impact of repeated phrases . . . and I remain exceedingly skeptical that
SAYING MARY SAVE US
RESULTS IN
NOT BELIEVEING in Mary as Savior.
Honestly, Quix, I don't expect you to understand. As I said a few thousand posts ago, Marian Devotion isn't for Protestants, at least not most of you folks. If it were, you'd either be Orthodox, Latin, Anglican or perhaps Lutheran. I suppose I could get all sarcastic about 2000 years of Christian praxis and belief as opposed to modern psychology, but I'll stick with "OK".
