And I'm not referring to their Trinity thing. But in fact, you pray to other entities in heaven, not just God or Jesus. And, if your prayers are answered, those other entities make stuff happen. To me, an imaginary person who makes stuff happen might was well be a god. Ok, they didn't create the universe, but if you pray to them and stuff happens, what's the difference? It's called Intercession.

But what do I know?
