So he's complaining that they're not praying to God but to Jesus. Who is God.
This guy is an idiot.

I was recently having a "Discussion" with a Protestant, actually, it was more of a debate. They actually believe that they aren't praying to Paul (though, that is what it really is), they believe that they are praying THROUGH Paul, and that Jesus has to listen to him. I tried every piece of scripture I could think of, and common sense with this person, and could not get her to see the light of day on the issue. They just can't see that they are praying to someone other than God, and they can't see that it is wrong. So deep is the indoctrination, that they seem to be blind to the truth. I ended up coming to the conclusion that the only thing left that I could do for this person is to pray. No matter what I presented to her, she responded with the Protestants' stance on that verse, not reading it, and seeing it for what it is. It was like arguing with a brick wall.
Fixed.

You seem to be blind from the reflection of the shiny mirror.

Yeah, I know exactly how you feel, Magog. It's frustrating, isn't it?

Except that to people like Magog, Jesus is who they pray through to get to God. Apparently it's ok to have a man who is claimed to be God ask God to do you a favor, but not ok to ask the same man's mom to ask him.

I think this Catholic knows more about Catholicism than you do.
Funny, that.

@Missouri:
I would think Martin Luther would be more appropriate given the context, although I hate Paul so much I'm tempted to endorse your version anyway.

Irony, thy name is Rapture Ready.
Praying to Mary makes perfect sense. I mean, God owes her a few favors.
"And the lord spoke unto Mary saying 'Don't worry baby, I'll pull out.'"

They actually believe that they aren't praying to Mary
So when they say "holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners", who are they asking her to pray to? Herself?
Catholics don't pray to Mary, although some of the shameless groveling to her in the Middle Ages might have sounded like it (e.g., see the "O Intemerata"). Catholics believe in intersession (the idea that one person can pray for another) and invocation (the idea that one can ask someone to pray for them). So do most Christians. Otherwise, what would be the point of a pastor asking ("invoking") the congregation to pray ("intercede") for a sick member?
Where Catholics part company with a lot of Protestants is in believing that a dead person who is (presumably) in heaven, such as Mary, can be invoked to intercede. Martin Luther was opposed to invoking of the dead saints, because it was a source of abuse by the Catholic Church; but he really didn't have any more support for his opinion than the Catholic Church had for theirs.

I read the one from some total tosser on that site witnessing to his wife's recently bereft devout RC grandmother - talk of coffin-chasing.
A quick hard vicious blow to the jaw would be the correct response rather than trying to break someone's current faith at such a time. Such cruelty is par for these people whose self-righteousness is breathtaking but only too believable.
CUNTS!

Wow. Used two completely opposite tactics and it still didn't work.

You should have reminded her that Mary was a dirty whore, who allowed God to get her pregnant out of wedlock. She's lucky if God, who as it turns out is really her son, is even willing to forgive her child molesting ass at all. She's certainly in no position to be praying for anyone. You'd be just as well off getting a fag, or a colored person to pray for you too. </poe>
