So, in your opinion, God leads people to sin and damnation, ...

God, for reasons of His own, makes Himself known to His own, while allowing others to go their own ways, their preferred way. Deception is sweet, the road to hell is smooth, easy, paved with good intentions. Only electing grace can incline a man to the harder path of truth.

and the Mother of God has inspired a cult?

Deception is sweet. Usually cloaked in the most wholesome of contexts and platitudes. The spiritually deceived person, the gulled gent, often achieves more notable levels of chaste and gracious living than the struggling redeemed sinner. Mormons are famed for the apparent external cleanliness of their lives and families, for example. I have a recent and very personal story to share later on today, about how a very similar deception looks from the inside.

This is Catholic teaching, not Calvinism.

spiritually deceived person

So again, Mary deceives people, but Calvin got his fantasies out of the Holy Ghost? You sure about that?
