If you want to dismiss Scripture and engage in idolatry, that's on your head. I won't concede on what Scripture clearly says.

I haven't dismissed scripture. You are just misapplying it.

Believe me, I wish I was wrong. I’m a hospice chaplain and serve people of all faiths. The overwhelming number of Catholic patients I serve either refuse pastoral care because they’ve had enough doom and gloom or the ones who accept my pastoral counseling share their fear of God and of dying.

I teach them about God‘s grace and they look at me like I have ten heads because they have no concept of what I’m saying. If your experience in the RCC is different then I rejoice for you.

If I was in hospital I would want a Catholic chaplain.

As to God's grace perhaps they just think your version is wrong.

I personally LOVE Catholics, they are generous, kind, truly loving people! The world has benefited greatly from a lot of cathoic services, hospitals, schools, selfless acting belivers in Christ. I almost became a Catholic last year because the service was beautiful, and well thought out, the ritual was comforting, the Peace to your neighbor bit, was especially nice. That said, when I went to the Catholic class, I was not in agreement with the Pope is the Christ on Earth bit, nor the Mary is the same as god thing, its polytheistic,

The Pope is the Christ’s earthly representative, deputy, under-servant not Christ himself.

Mary is not God and the Catholic Church doesn't teach that she is.

Christians are called to love not hate.

Love what? Some things we are called to hate. The things of the world. Idols. Evil. Etc. Does love mean tolerance for all things?

We don't call our proests fater. We address them as father. Not the same thing.

And Matt 23:9 says not to call your religionists leaders father blain or what ever. Why do you ever call them father what is the purpose of that?

you probably haven’t a clue you just follow the masses who do it also.

Does the Bible tell you to post on internet sites?

Does the Bible tell you to ride a bicyclem drive a car or travel in an aeroplane?

Where in the Bible does it say have choirs to lead singing?

Where in the Bible does it say translate scripture into other languages?

Where in the Bible does it say use artificial amplification for speaking or singing?

Where in the Bible does it say that everything we do has to be stated in the Bible?

Why do you need a earthly representative if the Spirit lives in you and the temple veil split opening a direct line between you and God. Confess your sins to God and your forgiven.

This opinion must vary

"Virgin Mary, mother of G-d, pray for us sinners now" seems slightly deifying - but I did not elect to be a catholic, so I will defer to a Catholics correction on the matter

Ask God that. He left a Church with a structure and a leader.

Every single Christian is Christ’s earthly representative.

Everything we do is related to the Bible. Would any of that be possible if God didn't give you life or sustains you?
