Lol, I never asked you what you believed, so it seems to me that you're just angry and being overly defensive about your beliefs.
Also, Just because I don't get the reasoning behind something doesn't mean I don't understand it. You could call yourself a rainbow farting triceratops who eats magma for breakfast, but that doesn't mean I don't understand, I'd just wonder where you come up with such a ludicrous notion. I don't accept 'wrong' information, because there must be some truth backing it for me to come up with that conclusion based on what I've observed.
You act as if I'm speaking for the entire religion as a whole. rather than the individuals responsible for such statements to occur on my own part. Just because I say Catholics or Christians means I'm being vague.
"Oh please let me pass." Is more like a hope or wish, I wouldn't be so quick to jump on something like that as being a prayer. That would be like saying "Oh for crying out loud, make the neighbor's dog shut up." is a prayer to god to make the dog be quiet, it's a rather vague or indirect thought don't you think?
Again, I ever said all Catholics are idol worshipers. Oh, I think your caps lock was stuck for a second, or were you attempting to shout at me through text? Tisk tisk, I got your statement already, you don't have to reiterate. .
Also, if I'm not 100% correct, then neither are you with such presumptuous statements towards my evidence for my side of the debate.
I can call you hon if I want to, I don't recall the bible saying it's wrong, or that saying that means I'm trying to be chummy with you. And yes, I do try to get firsthand information of the things I disagree with before making an argument, otherwise I'd never have said such thing in the first place.
Go cry some more.

So, the information from a Catholic, on the beliefs of Catholics is false because you have information otherwise? Well, golly, I guess we've been doing this all wrong. You've got all the answers.
Your whining about prayers is all over the place. "Wah wah, they pray for something specific. Wah wah, they pray for something vague." Why not just let people pray and stay out. Do you also moan about those who meditate? It accomplishes the same thing. Or how about Pagans who pray? I know a few who have prayers to their deities on a daily basis. What's your opinion of them?
And no, just saying that "I'm speaking about individuals" doesn't mean you indicated it in your orignal unedited rant. When posting "Why does X group do this", if you want to indicate that you are ONLY talking about individuals, you have to put that in clearly. YOu also need to put in identifiers such as "some" or "a few". Without it, the identifier of "all" is the default. So when you put down, "Why do CAtholics worship idols" the identifier is "Why do ALL Catholics" because you did not indicate some or a few or "Why does the one person I knew do this."
If you got my statement you wouldn't have insisted that you were right when you were in the wrong. Catholics do not worship idols. They do not worship Mary. They do not worship the saints. Just because you keep saying it won't make it right. And that's where I can say you are not 100% right. You have a lot of wrong information. I am a practicing Catholic. I'm in the Catholic church, I see what our beliefs are. I have more knowledge in that area than you do, and it shows. Saying that I must be wrong because one person you know is on the contrary does not mean that I am 100% wrong. You presented an arguement based on evidence of one or two people at best, and that was proven to be the wrong assumption. If you had honestly looked up anything about the Catholic church, you'd realize that they don't worship idols.
And again, don't call me hon. If you do so again, I will report you. I'm not your hon. I'm not your friend. I'm not your sweetie, sugar, or anything else you can think of. You will not call me that again.
