Jon Paul all of your rebuttals are nothing more than empty responses.First of all to say that Mary was holy and the mother of God is a contradiction since God was never created he always was,is and will be.Mary was nothing more than a mere vessel for God to be able to come forth in the world and I don't know what time period you are living in but most Catholics pray to Mary and yes they worship her.The so called saints have been and continue to be worshiped by Catholics to this day.At least most hispanic Catholics worship and pray to the so called saints for intercession of some sort or another.
And the bible does not teach that you should build idols as symbols, remember God did that once with Moses.And the end result was that the people ended up worshiping the idol itself.
Numbers 21:6,8,9
6.And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
8.And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9.And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
2 Kings 18:4
4He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
As you can see as it was then so it is now building idols to serve as so called symbols just leads to the veneration of those idols in the future.
I am an atheist but yes I did come from a fundamental pentecostal church but unlike them I actually read the bible and studied it thoroughly.In fact,it was exactly that that made me become an atheist.After having read the bible in its entirety I realized how stupid the whole thing was and realized that it was nothing more than a book of myths.And regarding tolerance and virtue that is a lesson your church could use since as they have proven throughout history if they could today they would kill everyone that disagreed with them.In fact the Catholic church has the most bloodiest history and has grown to epic proportions through the use of coercion with the governments and force.Nothing to be proud of.
So I guess dismembering so called saints was symbolical too right?Your religion is the most disgusting and depraved belief system in the world.Sin all week long and come back on Sunday and be absolved so you can go on the following week and do it again.no wonder you have so many adherents.Your religion requires no self sacrifice no living right before the Lord.
John 14:21
21.He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
