To be fair, this is a thread about the Virgin Mary, who is very much a catholic symbol. It's not really surprising that in a discussion about her, some catholic dogma will be disagreed with.
But in the interest of fairness, I would like to state that all religions are the opiate of the people, in that they attempt to distort reality and numb the pain of the oppressed, giving them the hope of a glorious afterlife or reward of some kind.
It's just a shame that some decent people end up tying themselves up in theological knots desperately trying to make sense of nonsense.
