Prayer to the idol Mother Earth:
"...O Goddess Mother of us all, We thank You as Your blessings fall Upon us - each and every soul - As the year wheel turns and rolls. ...For nourishing our bodies and Our spirits with Your gifts from the land.... For your abundance on the Earth.... We give you thanks with love and mirth"....

Hail Mary:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with, Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of the womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

The first claims that the gifts are from "Mother Earth". With the Hail Mary, what is the action the person is requesting? That Mary pray for us, not give us something, but to pray for us. This implicitly acknowledges that there exists a being greater than Mary (one prays up, not down or sideways).

Are you admitting then that both are giving homage to their deity by praying before their statue?

>>That Mary pray for us, not give us something, but to pray for us.<<

Yeah right. How many times do I have to post Marian prayers that prove that statement false?
