If they said they saw a statue of Diana, I believe them until its proven there is no statue there.

Yes, but so what? If there is such a statue there, why is it there, what context is it in and what does it mean?

These charlatans you insist on treating as serious offer nothing.

No axes to grind here. Diana and Mary perpetual virgins. Mother of God announcement in Ephesus. Facts. Another fact, Jesus actually did rise from the dead, pagan gods didn't.

Um, Diana didn't exist at all. You wish to find some type of conspiracy by the choice of cities for a counsel. This is hysterical. Why would anyone not pre-disposed to hate Mary believe any of this nonsense. It is prejudice disguised, thinly disgused, as evidence.

And you miss the point entirely about Jesus being compared to pagan gods.

You must learn not to put words in my mouth. I have never said that anything remotely related to paganism is to be discarded. Those are your words. I've always pointed out specifically regarding paganism what's to be disgarded.

Yeah right. Those "specific" things are always coincidental facts about Mary. I'm sure this is just by accident and not a consequence of you wanting to hate her.

What context? Can you think of one? The church is a museum now? Nevermind. I'm afraid to hear a response to that question.

About equal to what you have to offer I guess.

I don't know. Why don't you ask yourself why you're predisposed to hate Mary. I haven't made up any lies about her. You and yours have.

Yeah right. Those "specific" things are always coincidental facts about Mary. I'm sure this is just by accident and not a consequence of you wanting to hate her.

You have the hate.

The surest sign you are in over your head is when you bring out the "hate" word. Time to try a new tactic!
