You still haven’t offered your explanation for the complete absence from history of any corpse or relic, or even any claimed corpse or relic, of Mary.

sure I did; but you will not except it.

Surely you catholics could have found SOMETHING that at least BELONGED to her while she was 'on earth'.

Why didn't you guys preserve ANY of it?

You keep telling me that you finished the sentence, and I keep rejecting it.

I have absolutely no memory of your finishing the sentence, and I have been unable to find the post in which you say you did so.

Unless you are referring to your preposterous claim that the early Christians just didn’t care much about Mary. Was that it?

Dontcha know?

Absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

Lack of physical *proof* of Mary’s existence means they can claim anything they want about her demise or lack thereof.

Course, it doesn’t occur to them that any claimed relic just might be a fake or fraud.

Not to mention that true Christians don’t put any of their faith or trust in this physical world which is passing away since we walk by faith, not by sight.

Dead body parts along with other trinkets, doodads, and artifacts are all going to burn anyway. Nothing in this world is permanent or of value in the spiritual realm, the heavenlies in which we believers sit with Christ Jesus.

Having physical objects to see, touch, feel, kiss, use are talismans are for those whose faith is so weak that they need props.
