Dema, What ARE you objecting to ? Do you even understand what I said ? Let me put it differently. Your post was and is totally irrelevant to the subject of the thread. I repeat : WHAT HAS THE STATEMENT THAT THERE IS BUT ONE GOD TO DO WITH SAINTS OF MY NATIONALITY ?

You are talking to someone who isn't quite capable of seeing intellectual nuances. He thinks that saints are worshiped as gods, rather than simply being revered as extraordinarily holy men. Or it could be that he understands that but needs to signal virtue. At the same time, in a sense it isn't wholly unreasonable to think in that way, although unsophisticated. Saints served a similar function in the Middle Ages as the pagan pantheons did in antiquity and as our contemporary celebrity culture does today. We even call these celebrities idols, which they are. His accusation of idolatry, while off the mark and ignorant, is understandable.
