If Mary is not the Mother of God, then Jesus Christ her Son is not God.

Agreed. Mary is the Mother of God, because Jesus is God. She's the Mother of the human nature of His Divinity. His Divinity is Incarnate in Jesus, so if you deny she's the Mother of God, you are saying that God was not incarnate in the human nature of Jesus. You separate out Jesus Christ into 2 separate persons: one human, the other Divine. We must protect the term Mother of God in order to protect and guard the Incarnate nature of God the Son: God is born in Mary. God the Son! Not the Father, or the Spirit.

Dear friends, Consider the true teachings regarding the Ever-virgin Mary. Mary is not to be worshipped. Neither is she to be denigrated as just another "ordinary woman". She is, according to Saint Elizabeth, "blessed among women", and "blessed is the fruit of her womb" Jesus.
"The Virgin is called the "Queen" in prophecy, by David, "At Thy right hand stood the queen, arrayed in vesture of inwoven gold, adorned in many colours" (Ps. 44:8). Thus, she is honored occassionally in prayers as the "heavenly queen". Of course, she is the mother of the King, and the title "heavenly queen" is just another confession of our faith that the Child Jesus born of her is truly God our King. Sectarians will sometimes attempt to apply the words of Jeremy [Jeremiah] the prophet (Jer. 44:17,25) to condemn our use of the term "heavenly queen" when referring to Christ's mother. But Jeremy [Jeremiah] was here condemning the worship of the idol Astarte by the astrology cults, which considered Astarte to be an actual deity." (page 33: Archbishop Lazar Puhalo, The Point of Faith HANDBOOK: Point of Faith Number 1. Synaxis Press, The Canadian Orthodox Publishing House, Dewdney, BC, Canada.).

God bless us all in Christ Jesus through the prayers of the most pure ever-virgin Mary.

But for the most part we don't believe that just because you love the Saints and Mary, you somehow love God less.

WHAT happens if you deny Mary? According to RCCs, if you deny Mary then you deny Jesus.

Since you'll use the words "queen mother" if I should put it in the natural, let me put it this way:

A prince marries an ordinary woman; not from royality.

With this "deny Mary" garbage, you leave out God. Jesus took after His FATHER'S side of the family. God used an ordinary girl to bring forth the Messiah. Sure, she's "blessed". She was the one chosen. All she had to do is say "yes". If "no", then there was other girls that God could've used.

I'm not quite sure what your getting at in this section, but even a pauper can marry into royalty

Who's to say that Mary wasn't the only women in existence capable of accepting the charge; prepared from the beginning of time for that special purpose? That being said I do find it disturbing that you would imply that God simply used Mary then threw her by the wayside saying "Oh, thanks for the ride but your useless now!"
