There is a difference between logic and pseudo logic. If I accepted all of the assumptions, it still leaves one last question. Since when do people in heaven have super powers?

How many people can a person listen to at once? Logically, it would be ridiculous to expect one person to be able to really listen to millions of people at the same time.

If I accept that it's possible for Mary to hear prayers, and if I accept that she can filter out millions of prayers to hear a single individual, that means that you're better off playing the lottery than praying to Mary.

We have a promise when praying to Jesus. The pseudo logic of praying to saints is so full of unsupported assumptions that I can't find the benefit other than a placebo.

"Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is."
-1 John 3:2

Do you think Mary still has an Earthly ear?
Do you think time is the same in Heaven?

Why can’t people in Heaven have powers that people on Earth do not? How do you know what heavenly bodies are like?

What makes you think there is "time" in Heaven? Do you know what "eternity" means, theologically?

You think heaven is a material place with the same rules of physics as on earth?
