The difference of worship between God and a demigod.

Do you suppose this worship or veneration of Mary, whatever they want to call it, is part of the paganism that was added, to attract pagans to the church? Is it related to Diana of the Ephesians? Doesn't all this paganism originate with the worship of Nimrod and his wife? Didn't the queen of Heaven thing originate with her, and after Nimrod's death, didn't she claim to give birth to a reincarnation of Nimrod? I believe this is paganism with a capital P, and was possibly brought into the church, to make pagans feel welcome. 😀

Absolutely. Pagans were folded into the 200-400 ad church and pagan customs and beliefs were also instituted into that church.

Catholics today are practicing a form of syncretic paganism when they pray to Mary, make idols, idolize departed saints, etc. They are completely unaware and trusting of their church.

So to carry this analogy to its logical conclusion, Christianity is based on Nimrod being God the Father and the reincarnation of Nimrod is Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God?
