When Catholics celebrate not only the birth or birthday of Jesus Christ but also worship the Virgin Mary and all the saints, which the Protestants don’t, because believers are only to look up to the Holy Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and praying to, or interceding through, anyone or anything else is biblically unsupported or erroneous, not to say, idolatrous.

When an item or product costs more than a similar one with less sugar or salt content, which seems to suggest that having lesser or fewer of something is more inconvenient or harder to produce, or making a decision to be healthier is dearer—could it also be a mere marketing gimmick to lure health-conscious freaks?
