Reason and historical facts don’t seem to have any impact.

This perplexes me. Are you not aware that Bible-believing Christians have asked the saints and angels to pray with and for them since at least a millennium before the Protestant era? On what authority do you say that your personal opinion trumps all the centuries of Christian belief and practice?

The clarity of Scriptures regarding the utter Supremacy of Christ is more than sufficient for me

to trump anything else mortal man might concoct.

You better be careful, the same was said in defense of slavery and women’s rights....

Using precedent and historical tradition as a guide CAN be useful but certainly is not the fundamental basis for belief!
