I'm just wondering why do Catholics worship Mary, the Mother of Jesus?

you respect them by calling others who aint of christian faith for worlds trashes, well its sure is a strange way of showing your respect

Very strange indeed. 🙂

at least you got that part tight

Well im not gonna call anyone world trashes...

Finti, so you actually think that free will is sin?

Of course sin came from somwhere; originally the devil.

The sin resulted from what we did, not God... I just don't see how you can equate God sinning because he gave us free will.

It's like a parent watching their adult son or daughter leave the house and go off on their own. Do you think the parents should be responsible for everything bad their kids do when they are gone?

It basically is copping out from man's responsibilty that he sinned by saying God created it.

Now of course I'm speaking figuratively here because I don't know your exact beliefs on everything so what I may believe one way you may differ on.

god created everything, sin is a part of everything.

Like i said with the parental explination---

So the their son is an adult and he murdered 12 people. Since he is their "creation" would they be the ones to condemn?

What I am saying is this god who created everything included sin into his creation if not it wouldnt have been there for man to choose

It also has to do with the devil and his fall though; he was the first to succumb to sin and he isn't even a man. It didn't even start with Adam and Eve.

who created the devil?

why God of course, but it was the devil who challenged him-- now at that point it doesn't really say anything about free will, just that he was cast down from heaven because he thought that he was greater thant God and other angels joined him-- essentially a revolt.

man is the one who commit sin, yet it doesnt change the fact that it was from gods creation sin came about. If you buy the biblical stuff that is.........which I dont

Sin was invented by the Catholic Church! But you can buy your way out with the right amount of money...Indulgences.

Well then this is true if you want to look at it that way but another fact is that adam and eve and god are different and you can't blame someone else for the mistakes of another. Like I said, that's copping out for our mistake.

You didn't answer my question I had either. If the grown up son kills 12 people should we blame the parents?
I mean, the son came from the parents so why not blame them? The parents created the son and the murders came from their creation. This is why I don't agree with your opinion.

No, the parents shouldn't be blamed. We should all take responsibility for what we do, however, I think God is bigger then what the "Bible, or any other book teaches." BTW..I think we're off topic..lol

yeah we kinda are- so, um why do they worship mary? 🙂

My father is Catholic and he say that they don't...But I really do think that many catholics DO worship Mary...
MY father says that they petition her with their prayer..I guess they feel god is really busy and they don't want to bother him, so they go to other saints for petition.
