He said Mary isn't a deific figure, which I don't agree with. I think it's pretty clear the Catholic authorities want their people to believe Mary to be something like a goddess, what with the Queen of Heaven stuff and all that.

They didn't have much of a choice. The people they wanted to rule over already believed in goddesses and magicians. The rcc went along with it, and much else, as part of a recruiting effort. Now they're ashamed, lol.

I would be convinced that God exists if I could witness a chicken accomplishing a successful heart transplant while simultaneously playing Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D-minor on the vibraphone.

Any god worth it's salt would have zero fucks to give about gender, and even fewer for how the assorted pink bits get used.

Gender is such a human construct, some primitive men thought it dire that the principal deity be perceived as similarly male.

For e.g. If He appeared in a dream or a vision to you, for e.g. Or if He worked a healing miracle in your sight. Or an airtight logical argument. Or a very convincing syllogism. Or if He helped you by His Love in a tangible way. Or something like that.
Just trying to understand the heart of the objection toward someone as Good as Jesus Christ. Looking forward to a pleasant discussion. God Bless.
Real evidence. That means no transcendental nonsense. Not suppositions, nor dumbass arguments, or threats that I'm going to hell, which would be impossible because when your body has decayed your spirit/soul, if there really is such thing (highly doubtful), once separated from the body could never possibly ever feel either pleasure or pain (there is this thing called the nervous system connected to a brain). We all have brains. Unlike a majority of Christians, We Nones (atheists, agnostics, non-religious, unchurched, freethinkers, Secular Humanists) actually use ours. If you religious types would put more effort into actually being better tolerant human beings and living in peace with the rest of humanity instead of trying to convert us to your shithood, or failing that, trying to kill us, Planet Earth would be a much better place to live in. Here is an idea: stop being such damn pricks and leave us alone and live your own life!! That is all I have to say on the subject.
