Explain to me the need y'all have to knock her down. It's sick.

"Knock her down"? You and yours put her on a pedestal of your own making. Then, you have the gall to get all hyperpious when we won't play along. That's what's "sick."

The need to equate her with yourself is inexplicable. I am confortable with the idea that there will be those greater than I.

See? There you go again. It's not about my pride; it's about your blind pride in your bloody "C"hurch.

Open your eyes, man! Get your nose out of the manmade traditions, and READ THE BOOK. It has plenty to say to you in this very situation, if only you would hear.

I would state that the perspective makes all the difference here. It is entirely different to tell the pee boy he looks like the King than it is to tell the King he looks like the pee boy.

There you go again. It's not about my pride;

It's all about your pride. The idea that Jesus might care for His mother in a special way is abhorrent, so you use the Bible out of context to make it seem radically egalitarian.
