Broke Wave said:Christians actually beleive in 3 gods, you guys are a polytheist religion. You believe in a "Father" who is the Abrahamic god, with all his traits, you believe in Jesus Christ, his son, and a strange variation and new innovation called the Holy Ghost, which is usually manifest in Jesus mother Mary. In order to rectify this, you guys invented the Trinity, which is by far the most nonsensical religious doctrine.
This is absolutely incorrect. Catholics don't worship Mary as part of the Trinity or three 'G-ds'. The verses in the Qu'ran that talk about this are actually referring to a heretical sect of Arabs in the 4th Century known as Collyridians.....

Most of the early heresies were Trinitarian and Christological in nature, but Collyridianism stood alone as a heresy that sought to deify the Blessed Virgin Mary. Little is known about the movement's theology. Not even the names of the group's leaders are mentioned by writers of the time. This sect's excessive Marian devotion developed into the idolatry of Mary worship. This aberration grew out of the Church's rightful veneration of Mary as ever-virgin, Mother of God, and powerful heavenly intercessor, but crossed the line of orthodoxy when certain Christians began to worship Mary as divine. Details about the Collyridians are scanty, but one of the few specifics we know of them is that at their liturgical service bread was offered as a sacrifice to Mary.
