    Not pagan but Christian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Come on Jesus produced wine from water and both served and drank it. Indeed he required everyone to drink it for the sacrament!

    Thou shall have no other gods! Exodus 20:2-3, Exodus 23:13, Exodus 23:24, Exodus 23:32, Exodus 34:14.

    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:4-6)

    Deuteronomy 27:15

    `Cursed is the man who makes an idol or a molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' And all the people shall answer and say, `Amen.'

    So it matters not whether Mary and the Saints are worshiped as gods, idols, intermediaries or anything else it still goes against God's direct orders!

    So nothing to do with pagans!

    Some do, many do not. Islam is a pagan religion and that does not allow alcohol or idol or image worship. "Pagan" just means "non-Jewish, non-Christian". Every religion apart from those religions is pagan.
