Majority of my friends are catholic. None of them go around telling people with other religions that the way they worship is wrong. In fact, I know more people with other religious beliefs that do it to catholics.

Yeah, I will agree with you, you pray to God, you've got a lot better chance to get to Heaven. But we pray to Saints (not those little fooseball players in New Orleans either) and look to the Saints as examples because there are aspects of their lives that brought them into a closer relationship with God. So we pray to them when we are struggling with that aspect of our lives. It's not the same as worshipping the dollar.

Don't try and bash my religion, and I won't bash you.

If you know the bible so well, then why don't you live it. Cause you know, one of the most often spoken words in the Bible is love. I don't think doing figure 8s and trashing people on here qualifies as that.

1st off I never bashed a religion I stated 100% facts from the bible

and you might have noticed I never said what religion one should follow! I have lots of Catholics in my family and I'm certain they will go to heaven because they also know the Bible !

Again Im far for perfect but I do know what the BIBLE says and I know the way to Heaven is though GOD(Jesus)

I cant not find anywhere in the Bible where is says pray though a saint to God, so there for I will just do what the Bible says to do!
Same with Mary, Yes she was a great woman of the Bible but never was it said to pray to Mary!

Again I'm no Bible thumper and I do not to pretend im perfect and I NO where the person I should be. But I do know the Bible and I do know 100% what it says!

If you can prove me wrong in what I have stated by using the Bible , I will listen and take it in.

As my Great Grand Paw James Waltrip once said! Hell will be filed with Religious people of all kinds !!

1Timothy 2:1-4
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Revelation 5:88 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.
