And their worship of idols thats not bad, it's worship false idols. Mary and Jesus are not.   And you're a little free with the attack Christian. Ive been a Catholic for 21 years and I can not say that I have preached nothing about my religion to anyone.   If you are going to bash another religion, at least things are clear.

It is an idol of worship and the Bible does not approve it. Muslims regard Muhammad as an idol and worship him for what they are just as bad. Mary was indeed a girl chosen for Jesus, but when we get to heaven will be the same as all of us who do. Maybe not before his bow. This thing about it is a symbol of their religion, Hogwash, blaspheming God and putting mary before Jesus. It is a sin. It is an idol of worship and the Bible does not approve it.
