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.

Nice you wanna tell us what you believe.
Care to tell us why you believe?

My Catholic upbringing was filled with joy and good times, and if I'm being honest, my education was less important to me than hanging out with my friends, but I still enjoyed receiving an education. I would have to say, that because my education was rendered at such a joyful time in my life, my education left a strong impression on me. I have since left Catholicism, but still love the Church.
