Sounds like something the devil would say to convince someone that God cannot use goodness to bring Glory to Himself without using evil to do so.
God uses many means to accomplish His plan. I would have to assume that you would agree that evil was involved in the crucifixion of Christ. Do you believe all those events were by random chance, or did God use evil to accomplish His purpose?
No wonder the reformed show such lack of Devotion to Our Blessed Mother.
Actually, that's for different reasons. Our reading of the Bible is that we should have devotion to God. We don't have the parts that say we should share that devotion with Mary or anyone else. I have actually found that devotion to God can be an extremely time-consuming activity. I can't imagine having the time to be spiritually devoted to anyone else. :)
