It's all about your pride.

No, really, it is not. But, there's no use in arguing with you. You flat-out refuse to consider that you could be wrong. You KNOW my heart.

The idea that Jesus might care for His mother in a special way is abhorrent,

Oh, puh-LEEZE. It's not like that with me at all, not one bit. Again, you insist upon taking every bit of truth and turning into "loathing" and "abhorrence."

What's truly "abhorrent" is that you would dismiss out-of-hand all the biblical text which could have been written for the very reason that someday -- at this very moment -- there would be a "C"hurch that exalts His mother more than He would like.

so you use the Bible out of context to make it seem radically egalitarian.

LOL. You truly think that disagreeing with your interpretation is "dismissing" the Biblical Text. That's funny.

I'm not the only one here, not even among the NCs that doesn't view the text your way.
