What do the RCC [Roman Catholic Church], Orthodox [a Roman Catholic forum member] and Muslims hereticks have in common?
<p>They are all under the spell of the "Queen of Heaven" [The Virgin Mary].
<p>[Insert bible verses here] You see! There is a queen of heaven in the bible. God is not pleased when His people worship this devil!

Seriously, does anyone know why or how these eccentrics jump from Mary being, oh, the mother of God to being a DEVIL without skipping a beat or thinking of themselves as repudiating Jesus as the Messiah in the process?
Catholics do NOT worship Mary. And uh...I haven't read a great deal of the Koran, but I'm pretty sure that Muslims do not worship Mary either.
Orthodox Christians are not "Roman Catholic forum members." We and the Catholic Church split apart centuries before a fellow named Martin Luther came along.
And yes, please explain how Jesus was the son of the devil, if that's what you're calling Mary.
just for information: the entire "queen of heaven" thing, and intercession of saints, along with the iconography (ie idolatory) that went with it, was the way that the Xian church, as the newly established state religion, sought to capture the interest of the plebs of the eastern empire, and give them something like what they had under the previous pantheons. Same idea as for all the holy days.
So fundies are technically correct to rail against this stuff, but hypocrites not to accept that it's the only way their depressing religion really took hold
Glad to hear that. We were beginning to think God was a homosexual since he never mention his wife.
Just because some people asked...Yes, Muslims do revere Mary. They even worship in her shrine in Israel, right alongside Christians. I can see why he'd think they "worship" her. They don't, and neither do Catholics.
@ Darth Vader...For Freedom: He probably would! His head would explode if he heard my theory about the Holy Spirit not being a person, but God's indwelling essence-and the real Trinity being Father, Mother and Son. *watches from a safe distance*
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
