Jesus and Mary, In Catholicism and Islam

[Ahriman]

Jesus and Mary (Jesus' mom) play a prominent role in both Catholic and Islamic theology. Mary is mentioned 34 times in the Koran. Both religions revere Jesus as a miracle worker, and Mary as a holy woman. Catholics, in particular, claim Mary as the Mother of God, a distinction I was taught of back in Catholic school, but have since rejected. I do not believe God has parents. In my opinion, the Islamic conception of Mary seems closer to the truth.

So, you don’t believe that Jesus is God?

I believe Jesus is a messenger of God.

I wouldn't know, I've never asked him.

And the rest of the clergy? You said you were with them a lot, but let me guess, you didn't ask them either?

I didn't want to risk getting kicked out of school for asking too many questions.
