How does this conclusion:
Are you admitting then that both are giving homage to their deity by praying before their statue?
follow from
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).?

Not a conclusion..it’s a ‘question’ if both are paying homage to an idol representative of their faith...
