Me, I'll stick with my Bible and stay away from these sects that like to think they control GOD.

NO! NO! NO!

I'm sure you have it all wrong.

It's more than a little confusing . . . given all the shredded history, shredded Scripture and shredded logic . . . and I could certainly be misperceiving things . . . HOWEVER, . . .

It appears to me that they don't think they control God. They prayerfully touch Mary's white hanky, or maybe a white hanky on a statue of Mary and SHE CONTROLS GOD. I mean, isn't part of their strategy that no son could refuse a MOTHER'S request? Soooooooooooooooo clever.

That kind of muddle headed thinking seems to make God out to be some kind of a dumb sap, seems to me.

God have mercy.

LOL

That's good, I hadn't thought of that.

Psst. What's the white hankie thing about?

And you only did half of the Mary thing. The other half is that she asked that the will of God be done in her. She won't ask anything that God does not will; she asks, as we do, that His will be done.

Which, IMHO is at once the scariest and the only thing a reasonable person can ask.
