Do you know every protestant that I know, Have you seen everything I have seen. *Note metmom has used this exact same position to defend any number of her untenable positions, it is either valid for all of us or none of us.

Once again your argument is spurious, as it is not about what you claim to see, but what you perceive it as being. Ealgeone says that by reading the Bible one can know about God (or one says God is in the Bible) but in your absurd perception that means he believes the Bible is literally God. Another Prot. prays while clutching the word of God and in that your absurd perception this means he is praying to the Bible(!). Did you know that I can find verga in freerepublic.com. Go look; he is in there! Which must mean freerepublic.com is literally verga!

And i am sure metmom will be interested in seeing where and how she says the Bible is literally God, and prays to it. The more you double down on your absurdity then more you become absurd.

The problem is that Catholics constantly focus on the claim of *worshiping* Mary and saying they don’t do it.

What they clearly choose to ignore is that God’s command is to not make images of created things and bow down before them.

Now, while the display of worship to Mary is clearly seen, if the Catholics say they aren’t worshiping her, we can give them the benefit of the doubt and accept that they really think that’s not what they are doing, even though it’s patently obvious to anyone watching what is going on.

However, what is clearly happening is that Catholics do make images of Mary. They do bow down before them and pray to them and light candles to them. IOW, they do the actions that God has commanded men to NOT do to images.

Now verga’s absurd and pathetic attempt to equate what he claims non-Catholics do with the Bible to what Catholics do with Mary indeed falls flat as we do NOT make images of it, we do not bow down to it, we do not pray to it, we do not light candles to it, or consecrate our lives to it.

So the mockery only serves to make verga look more like a fool with every attempt as everyone can see what he’s doing.
