I call her “The Queen of Heaven,” “The Queen of the Angels,” “The Perpetual Virgin,” etc., but am a Christian and do not deify her nor consider myself a “pagan”, an “idolator”, a promoter of “false gospel”, or guilty of “obscenity”. I hope that ruins your day.

It is logically impossible for someone to be the "Queen of Heaven" (God, being the King of heaven) and not be deity. Whether you believe it or not, you have deified her.

And no, it doesn't "ruin my day" to think that there are Christians who have allowed paganism to seep into their faith. But it does give cause for sadness.

But all of us can
slip into bad practices
that need correction:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.
And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship
at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me.
But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant
with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all
who keep the words of this book. Worship God!"

Revelation 22:8-9 (NIV)
