You said, "human sacrifice". Whatever...

Sunday worship? Pagan sun god's day of worship....

If you didn't know, Mary initiated Jesus' first miracle. So, we ask her to intercede with our intentions. Jesus from the cross: "Woman behold your son.... and to his disciple, behold your mother!" It is very clear that Mary is our spiritual Mother.

"father" is used out of respect...and there is a little matter of the 6th commandment?

Because you say so? These holidays (All Saints Nov. 1) were actually started to counteract pagan celebrations! And...I'll have to refer you to Jesus' earlier quote..."the sabbath was made for man...." We are NOT defined as Catholics by a holiday!

Another dumb comparison.... Do you carry pictures around of your family? Do you get haircuts, and put $500 suits on? Do you cut your lawn, and shape your bushes? Do you wash the dog? Do you celebrate birthdays and anniversaries? I mean...come-on buddy..... we don't worship a freaking Christmas tree, or any object! Don't you remember your own atheist lines? We worship what nobody can see!

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."
For a pagan you have a lot of Catholic mis-information under your belt! Or, is it wishful thinking?
