The Malicious Mangling of the Virgin Mary

"False Gods" is a matter of opinion Andy. I've had the Deities I follow be just as active, just as real, just as _PRESENT_ in my life & the lives of others who also follow the Faith I do as Christians say for their Deity. My Faith predates not only Christanity but Judism as well. This can be proven by dated grave goods. I'm not saying that my Faith or the Deities I follow are better than your's are Andy. I am saying they are just as valid.
A Christian can be crushed gazing at the picture of Mary standing at the foot of the cross, watching her beloved son suffocate and die. But in that vision, she stands there for hours, patiently enduring her suffering. For two millennia, she has been a role model for Christians, a woman who practiced obedience in the most difficult of human circumstances, with fervent hope for what this sacrifice will offer all mankind as it struggles with sin.

This is why it seems so hard to reflect that vision of patience when black-hearted "artists" practice character assassination on the Blessed Virgin...
