Straw man argument. I know a lot of Fundamentalists, and the fact that the words “Mother of God” does not appear in the bible is not the reason they disagree with Mary worship....oops, I mean “veneration”.
Of course, the Fundies I know aren't dumber than a bag of hammers so any Fundies with an earthworm league IQ may see things differently and consider telling lies a normal part of their "Christian witness" facade.

The most common objection I get to Mary as Mother of God, especially from Fundamentalists, but not limited to them, is, “The words ‘Mother of God’ are nowhere to be found in the Bible. Therefore, I will not accept it as true.”How is that a "strawman"?
I agree. I am evangelical and understand how RCs derive "mother of God." I think the more accurate 'title' would be "mother of Jesus Christ." Jesus Christ tells us Truly Man, Truly God. It's mincing words and frankly does not matter much when it come to God's Plan of Salvation. It DOES matter Jesus Christ was born of a Virgin. It was great it was a woman like Mary and she is to be respected and referred to blessed among women.
This "Queen of Heaven" titles and mass worship or veneration is what I have issues with. The Bible is clear we are to set our sites on Jesus Christ.
