Wow, you really like the clash of steel, don't you?

That was HarleyD and what I think he said was the praying to Mary for ... was .... .

I guess we can just rear back and call each other nasty names, or we can try to work our way through it, at least to the point where something resembling communication is happening. On those rare occasions when I manage to keep my cool, I prefer working toward communication. I don't think there's the mens rea< for blasphemy here because HarleyD and many of the others, are doing what looks to them like defending God's honor against li'l ol' us.

Oops...just a point of clarification.

HarleyD, or any one else for that matter, cannot defend God's honor. I cannot convince people or change their minds. God is perfectly capable of defending that Himself and He is in the change management business. All God asks of us is to simply be true to His word. If we "feel" we have been, then I would suggest something a tad more concrete.
