PETRONSKI: You are wrong, as has been demonstrated dozens of times. You do not get to decide what we believe. We do.
For the record...
I do not believe Petronski believes Catholicism deifies Mary. His evidence for this belief has been fairly thin so far, but he's entitled to believe whatever he wants.
Also for the record...
I do believe Catholicism deifies Mary because Catholicism considers Mary to be a "co-redeemer" and a "dispensatrix of all grace," which is in direct opposition to the evidence found in God's holy word which states...
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" -- 1 Timothy 2:5
Your repetition of the “Catholics deify Mary” charge is a red herring.
How about saving that for an appropriate thread and getting back on track?
This is a good example of your odd hobby. Is this belief of yours a tenet of faith expounded upon in the Protestant Catechism? Because the Catholic Catechism flatly refutes the notion on which your belief is based. I am almost certain you have been made aware of this error, yet you persist in your belief.
That is where Borat fits in. Borat believed that all American women wanted to have sex with him. He took a small facet of American culture and allowed it to mushroom into a giant lie that perverted him and made him a ludicrous character. IIRC he was corrected about that misperception, but tenaciously clung to it....well....it was a very appealing belief. But his acting out that belief was usually considered very offensive....when he was not taken as an ignorant buffoon.
While one can easily relate to a false belief that would satisfy the basest sex drive ( for satirical effect after all ), it is more difficult to understand the need to persist in distorting the facts concerning a faith group's traditional devotions. The distortions appear to only serve as strawmen to be toppled by the convenient bible quote.
