As the title implies. [b]NOTE[/b]: I know how much atheists hate religious topics. EASY CURE:[spoiler]Go away, but if you (atheist or apostate religious) must, be informative.[/spoiler]

Its pretty funny how insecure you are. Making all those posts, trying to convince yourself that there might be an invisible guy in the sky that will welcome you to heaven where you will grow wings and become an angel. Sorry but all your arguments are void when you believe in talking snakes.

WE PRAY TO MARY, SINCE 1, it flipping works 2, we don't idolize, we are asking the souls in heaven, specifically the most holy, to pray for us because they are authority in some sort of a way 3, she is the mother of Jesus Christ, The Son Of The Living [b][i][u]GOD[/u][/i][/b], do you not realize she is the holiest human, the queen of heaven, and one of the top people to seek help with? Why not try it for once, and. See. It. WORK [spoiler]haha 3= holy[/spoiler]

Edited by AgentMizzmo: 6/1/2015 6:33:21 AMJust like RobbinDaHood and others have said, We. Do. Not. Pray. To. Anyone. But. God. We just [i]Ask the other entities to go to God on our behalf. [/i]

Catholics don't pray [b]to[/b] Mary and the other saints but rather [b]through[/b] them. Don't need to watch the video to guess that this video was probably made by a baptist. I have some baptist relatives and they talk about how Catholics are the devil because they pray to Mary but they really just fail to understand what the Catholics are really about

Lol and you thought you were a majority

I think that the idea of God being "wrathful," mirrors some of the ideals of the Roman Empire. The Catholics interpretation of the bible comes from a point in society in which there was a societal need for the control of the lower class of people. The lower class prays to Mary, and the other Saints in order to create a kind of hierarchy in which their prayers are "heard" and then relayed to Jesus and God. Those practices eventually led to the Reformation, and then the formation of the Protenstant church and even further to the different denominations we have today. Such as the Baptists. It may not be the most literal interpretation of the bible, but it doesn't go to say that Catholics love God or Jesus any less than other denominations. I have Catholic friends who adore God, and have given themselves to him completely.

Edited by pokepatrick1: 5/30/2015 11:20:22 PMI guess you could say I do pray to Mary sometimes. But I wouldn't do it if God wasn't so scary. Just take a look at the old testament. He's scary in the old testament. He smites people and stuff.

The people on here saying Catholicism isn't a Christian sect are -blam!-ing morons. Catholicism is the [i]first[/i] Christian religion, and we [i]do[/i] believe that Christ is our savior. BAM! We're Christians.
-
I'm a Catholic, and there is an easy explanation for this. We don't pray TO Mary and the Saints directly, however, we ask are asking Mary & the Saint to pray for us! Hope this helped.
-
Catholics don't actually pray to Mary or the saints. That is a ridiculously huge misconception. Instead, we pray for their intercession. It's like asking them to put a good word in for you or like asking a friend to pray for you. "Praying" to Mary is like saying "Hey Mary, you should help me out and ask your son to answer my petitions." That's it. We don't worship Mary and we don't worship the Saints. We just believe in a total community of believers. That means past, present, and future. Plus, if you get Mary to ask Jesus on your behalf, do you think Jesus is gonna say no to his mom? :p

What's wrong is they don't recognize St. peter for who he was.....a rabbit.....

This was always something that I had a problem with when I was still religious. Why pray through someone/thing when you can skip the middle man and go straight to the Big guy?
-
Another day and another flaw found in Christianity smh, people just mindlessly go church without questioning why and who they're praying to 👏🏻
-
I'm an atheist, and I genuinely don't and won't give a shit about what people do in any religion. Fedora atheists are the ones that just try to shit on other religions to "differentiate" themselves.

This isn't b8 right?

Edited by Adamal123: 5/29/2015 2:46:20 PMWe ask them to pray for us. Yadayada Hail Mary mother of God [b]pray for us sinners[/b] so on and so forth.

You can't pray to the statue of the virgin mary and get anything from it. She was just a person and the statue is just an idol.
-
Acts 17:29 29 “Therefore, since we are the children of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and design of humans. As christians we should only pray thru jesus not a statue doesnt matter if its mary.

I've never met a Christian who prays to or asks Mary to speak on his or her behalf, but I've heard of my Catholics friends doing it.
