You literally pray to Mary!

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."

Could you point us to that "error" Where does scripture PRESCRIBE or ALLOW prayer to anyone but God?

> “Semiramis? Never heard of that.”

Because you never read the word of God?
.

Quote the scripture where the Lord allows a prayer to any human.
