Where are you getting false information like this, Iscool? Would the Mother of Christ really be 'evil'????

Of course not...But then Mary is NOT the Queen of Heaven...There's plenty of scripture in the OT about the Queen of Heaven...And you are warned not to have anything to do with her...

And it looks as tho she filtered on over into the NT as the goddess Diana...She's the one people worshipped around the same time as Jesus, the apostles and Mary were living...In fact, lots of people made and sold little trinkets, statues of Diana and stuff for the pagans to display on their dashboards...

The testimony of church father Hippolytus may be instructive to us all here:

"The disciples, then, of this (Magus), celebrate magical rites, and resort to incantations. And (they profess to) transmit both love-spells and charms, and the demons said to be senders of dreams, for the purpose of distracting whomsoever they please. But they also employ those denominated Paredroi. "And they have an image of Simon (fashioned) into the figure of Jupiter, and (an image) of Helen in the form of Minerva; and they pay adoration to these." But they call the one LORD and the other LADY. And if any one amongst them, on seeing the images of either Simon or Helen, would call them by name, he is cast off, as being ignorant of the mysteries." [Hippolytus: Refutation: Book VI; Chapter XV]

Simon Magus's mistress was worshipped as "Our Lady" --- and church father Eusebius tells us that the disciples of Simon were bringing her worship into the early church.

These are very strange ideas. Where are you getting them?
