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”.
Is it English that troubles you, or logic?
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"?

>>How is that a “strawman”?

Because it is probably an inaccurate portrayal of reality. He gave us the one objection that he could respond to in a way that would give the Protestants no answer. He said, “The most common”. OK. Where are his numbers? What is the basis of his polling to prove the veracity of those numbers?

I do know English...and I know logic...and I know statistics. And I know BS.
