I'm an atheist but I've noticed something about Catholics I was passing today I saw a Catholic Church doing their service this morning then I saw some people kneeling down on the statue of Mary praying to her .. I'm just asking why do they disobey the first commandant of the Lord which says I am the Lord your God. You shall not have strange gods before me. You shall not make to thyself any graven thing; nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. You shall not adore them nor serve them. this is the first commandment but why do Catholics always disobey the first commandment of the Lord the commandment states that we should not have any image of anything in heaven above but why do they make an image of mary and Jesus..isn't that a blantant show of disregard to the first commandment
