She is holy, but not divine.


Let's try some easy math:


There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!

“...so?....” they ask piously.

I love it! You assume that our temporal time exists in heaven! If so, God himself is restrained by it.

Since you obviously assume our temporal time exists in heaven, is it based on a 24-hour day? Does it have daylight savings time? Does it have multiple time zones?

Does heaven also have the four seasons? Does heaven have climatic zones, as well? Does heaven have an equator? An Arctic? A Frigid Zone and a Temperate Zone? Is there humidity?

Is winter in heaven as !@#$%^& as it is here on earth? Or, do all God’s children become snowflakes in winter and tulips in spring?

Please tell me what your heaven is like. For some reason I don’t think I’d like your heaven too much. For some reason I think your heaven is probably like Shreveport.
