Notice how she opposes what is "True" with what God wants. Truth is not the enemy of God, reason not that of faith.

Whose slinging mud now? :)

2 Tim. 2:16-18 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

Use "practical application" here. This could be referring to any vain babblings (such as arguing the point of "Mary is the mother of God), even if we IFBB's were to agree with this statement, how does this prove you all's point on worshipping or not worshipping Mary, (useless point, so techneqully vain), but it could lead to the overthrow of the faith of some new Christian just makeing a statement like that.

I agree. We need to teach new Christains carefully. Now Havoc missed the point, maybe you will see it. It is even more dangerous to go around telling folks that they are saved by "faith alone" when it can easily be misunderstood to mean that no obedience or change in life is necessary. If you wish to proscribe the uttering of things which can be misunderstood we would probably stay silent.
