All people are sinners except for Christ. So I should ask a sinner for help when I could ask the sinless who sits at the right hand of God?
No, you need not. Praying for intercession is primarily a "Catholic" thing, and "most" all Catholics understand the importance of the saints. I wouldn't expect a non-Catholic to understand; if one did, however, they'd probably eventually convert to the Faith. Why? Because so many saints would be praying for them! :)

I have a lot of saints who will pray for me. Sometimes I dont even need to ask.

Real live saints.

Wow, you could not be any more wrong.

No true believer ever converts to a dogma or a creed or a man-made religion. He is converted by Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit, who then imparts wisdom and discernment.

As I said in a previous post, do you want Jesus so badly that you would leave everything behind were He to command you so. Or do you want the comfort of your dogma instead of the living Christ?

Very few choose the path of Christ alone, but for those who do the key to heaven is given. Nothing on this earth can compare.
