You literally pray to Mary!

You attach to her the title of Semiramis: Mother of God, and Queen of Heaven; both deeply idolatrous pagan titles.

Scripture clearly tells us (in the words of Christ) that we are to pray to the Father, under the authority given us by the son.

Nowhere in god’s word are we given permission to pray to any other than the Father. To do so is idolatry.

Yes, and? Your theology of prayer is erroneous.

You attach to her the title of Semiramis: Mother of God, and Queen of Heaven; both deeply idolatrous pagan titles.

Semiramis? Never heard of that. The title of "Mother of God," or, more properly, "Theotokos" in Greek, is a recognition of who Christ is- a Person who is both human and divine. Queen of Heaven is the more controversial one, but again, it's something that is a gift of Christ, her royal Son, not something she has because she is a goddess.

Nowhere in god’s word are we given permission to pray to any other than the Father. To do so is idolatry.

You're following the erroneous teachings of the "Reformers."

Heck, it isn't even the original "Reformers," but someone that came much later!
