The second point would be the one that I would have the most trouble with. The first is trivial; that is, there are plenty of stories of dying Gods around. The third is a conjecture and an argument of the kind: some people do it wrong, therefore it's bad. So you're selling your car and giving up teaching psychology?

It would be nice, though to see a kind of clarification along the lines of, "The existence of other 'Queen of Heaven' ideas does not in itself prove that the Catholics are wrong about Mary.But IF they're wrong, they're REAL wrong! And We think they're wrong because of THESE reasons over here."

BTW: If logic can be owned by any created person, it ain't logic, IMHO.

I understand that.

2 personal problems of mine hinder my providing that.

1. I don’t really feel up to it in several ways.
2. It’s just not a very high priority, to me.
3. I have a long list of higher priorities.
4. When and if I have something compiled along those lines, will certainly ping you.

assuming the net is still up by then.

It's spiritually perilous to love any one or any thing equal to or more than God. There is only One Great Commandment.

Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying, Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. – Matthew 22:35-40

And again,

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. - Matt 4:10

We all struggle with idolatry because we are merely mortals, small minded and easily distracted. In the pressures of life, we might love ourselves or our spouse or child - properties, associations or whatever - more than God.

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.- Luke 16:13

Thank God for the time He gives us to meditate and pray and keep our priorities straight.

God's Name is I AM.
