You probably think Catholics are Christian as well with that dementia you got going on.

Please explain how Catholics are not Christian? I am quite curious to know the difference.

For example, google search "are catholics christian" - Google "generally" gets it right but it is possible that their cached pages went wonky.

Roman Catholicism is the largest of the three major branches of Christianity. Thus, all Roman Catholics are Christian, but not all Christians are Roman Catholic. Of the estimated 2.3 billion Christians in the world, about 1.3 billion of them are Roman Catholics.

Because Catholics pray to entities other than the three in one godhead. Do you even read the Bible?

There are a lot of reasons - its weird to argue this as an atheist but anyway.

- Catholics worship Mary
- The trinity conflicts with the idea of a singular god
- Idolatry and Iconography
- The pope representing god on earth.

Firstly, the trinity only conflicts with a singular god if you understand them as being separate beings which only Gnostics and Gnostic derived sects argue to be the case.

Secondly it's worse than the pope merely being a representative, his titles claim that he is the replacement of Christ on earth..... making him an anti-Christ.

Then there is the cannibalism of the Eucharist, the history of literary frauds, the rewriting of the 10 Commandments, the killing of true believers, the totalitarianism, the worship of the dead, the worship of angels, the relic frauds, the purgatory racketeering, the homosexual cults protected by monasteries and nunneries, the altar boy problem, the devil popes, the Jesuit (Black Pope) problem, the banning of Bibles, the attempts to lawfully regulate all sexual conduct, the syncretism, the support of Nazi Germany in their attempt to eradicate Jews, etc

I find it very difficult from any perspective to find any kind of argument that they are actually Christians or that they even worship the real Mary and Jesus instead of Semiramis and Tammuz..... it's not even a "Christian" invention as the Israelite prophets had the same problem corruption popping up from the start.

Think of it in this way: If you got sick and asked a friend to pray for you, they probably would. Our relationship with Mary operates under this same principle. We believe that Mary (and the saints) are dead to this world, but we also believe they live on with God for eternity in the next world.
And we believe that their prayers are just as powerful now that they are in heaven—even more powerful—than they were when they were here on earth. We are essentially saying to them, “We have problems down here. You know what it’s like, because you’ve been here. Please, pray for us!”
Add to that Mary’s unique perspective on the life of Jesus. Imagine the incredible insights we can gain by praying to her! Too often we squeeze the humanity out of our spiritual perspectives and exercises. Mary was a woman, a wife, a mother, a human—and the mother of Jesus. She laughed and cried, made dinner, changed diapers, and suffered anguish we will never know.

So yes, pray to an eternal being in heaven that is powerful, but they are not God.
The copium from Catholics is something to behold. It is almost as bad as leftists who get completely confused about simple biology.

If nothing else the way their eyes glaze over when they gush about Mary or the Pope is really really disconcerting....

It's interesting that while all these religions use the same source material, they all come to different conclusions.

I mean God probably and technically wouldn't have "hands" if it existed, but these are the verses from the Bible

Almost like the copium with Jesus :p

How do Jews see Jesus?
There is no specific doctrinal view of Jesus in traditional Judaism. Monotheism, a belief in the absolute unity and singularity of God, is central to Judaism, which regards the worship of a person as a form of idolatry. Therefore, considering Jesus a deity would be forbidden according to Judaism.

How do Muslims see Jesus?
In the Quran, Jesus is described as the Messiah (al-Masīḥ), miraculously born of a virgin, performing miracles, accompanied by his disciples, rejected by the Jewish religious establishment, but not as crucified or dying on the cross (nor resurrected), rather as miraculously saved by God and ascending into heaven.

Funny how everyone has a different, unprovable story and identity built around it.
