You are a screwed up individual. Please stay out of this and the metal thread forever. Before someone says LOLZ U BELIEV IN GOD, UR OPINION DONT COUNT, I actually respect the posts made by Not-That-Bright, Tulipa and Josie because they're not extremely condescending

I think the buzz-term is 'immature atheism' :)

Josie - you claim that "Catholics worship Mary"

That is a terribly misleading statement. We honour her because she is the woman who brought our Saviour into the world. We also ask for her intercession and help because Christ gave her to be our Mother while dying on the Cross.

We no not "worship" her.

I hope that is clear to you now :)

Is it true or not that catholics pray to mary? Comming from a catholic background I can definately remember being asked to do so, but I appreciate you may have a different understanding.

We also ask for her intercession and help because Christ gave her to be our Mother while dying on the Cross.
So you don't worship her, but you do believe she has some 'power' ?

No, I remember distinctly being told to pray to her. From an early age. That's weird. "Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners." Correctomundo?

What's also weird is prayer because if God has a great big plan it's like prayer is whining to him asking him to please change it. I don't get that.

Well, my Catholic friends told me that they were meant to worship Mary.
We honour her because she is the woman who brought our Saviour into the world.
Considering that "mere" action, and I would argue that God brought Jesus into the world and merely need a human vessel (more like what the Protestants believe), the Catholics do "worship" her..

wor·ship (wûr'sh*p) pronunciation
n.

1.
1. The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.
2. The ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which this love is expressed.
2. Ardent devotion; adoration.

Would you not agree that the offering of prayers, altar sacrifices, idols of the woman, fulfil the definition of worship? If you've got a different definition, I'd love to hear it. That's the definition I've always agreed with.
And women often pray directly to "The Virgin Mary", especially in matters such as childbirth.

And Robbie, if you get time, answer my other questions as well :)

was Jesus married?
did Jesus really die as a virgin?
why did the gossips(sp?)mentioned that Jesus had a relationship with Mary? And why the church forbid stuff that to be mentioned at all.

Um you pray so that God will change his big plan for the world just for your teensy little problem?

Then people talk about the power of prayer and how if you do it lots, it'll happen.

ie increasing your whininess. GOoooood I don't LIKE your big plan, CHANGE IT. x 100000

A Church would definitely be the wrong place to start if you were looking for answers. You should look for yourself, not for what someone else believes.
