Ironically some of these selfsame folks are completely persuaded concerning the authenticity of ancient mythology. Are we at all surprised by this?

Are we surprised the catholic scribes played with the manuscripts? No, we are not. Man botches everything he touches, even Bible manuscripts.

Example. I was talking to Dave about Our Lady of Fátima. A Virgin Mary apparition in 1917 to 3 young and uneducated girls.

Mary at that time released 3 secret messages, and the 3rd message wasn't to be release for some time. Well guess what, the 3rd message has been meddled with.

And of course it has. Cuz that catholic church hasn't ever seen a document they can't modify, even of Holy Scripture.

It doesn't stop there. Harold mentioned to me "the Holy Foreskin of Jesus" and I thought he was off his rocker. Then I found a documentary of it on National Geographic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INMSWi-ZpHU Luke 2:21
It shows that craziness has been going on throughout the development of the Christian history. Wasn't the same Roman Catholic Church preserving some of our "texts" until Luther? It doesn't give me a lot of confidence after I watched this program. Wow!

I wouldn't believe a thing about Mary appearances.

We should let her "rest in peace."

If she would only mind her business, and stop acting like a double spy for God; appearing and slipping secrets to the young and ignorant, and predicting doom and judgement if she's not listened to (sound familiar). Seems Mary is just another troublesome woman we've got to live with.

If she ever appeared to me I'd make a beeline to the corner of the housetop.

Pro 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Don't ya just love the Bible?

They may be real such as the miracle at Fatima, but rather than being Mary, it is probably the Queen of Heaven, the wife of Baal, mother of Osiris, the same demons who have decieved many believers into Marian worship. If Satan can masquerade himself as an angel of light, then so can The angels under him practice deception.
