Do you think a Catholic is "bad" because they pray via Mary? As "bad" as a Hindu who worships a mother goddess?
NOTE: I don't think either one of them are bad.

It's worse to be a Hindu because Catholics are Christians just like Protestants are Christians. Catholics pray to her to get more closer to God. If you think Catholics are worse then you are insulting youre own religion...

why do you direct your question to a protestant,,,protentant means
to protest ,,against the pope, centuries ago ,,,so your ancestors
were probably originally catholic or had no religious sect ,,,,to make a long story short there is no good or bad or worse or better ,,,love
God and do give some credit to the mother who was only a
teenager and took on a very courageous journey ,,,the mother
Goddess is special to the Hindus ,,,,,so we are all going in the
same direction ,,,a journey on earth without prejudice and comparisons of other ,,,you have chosen your own faith,,so
why would you question others ,,,as long as you try to llve a
decent and good life ,,,and that goes for everyone whatever they
worship ,,,,GOD is not going to pick and choose ,,,for goodness
sake ,,,figure it out ,,it is not that hard ,,,you arel loved ,,,by the
God of us all ,,,I could go into theology ,,but that would take too
long ,,,just leave other religions and their way of worship to be
free ,,,,,and God bless you and all the world.....peace

To think that G--O--D=God need to have only a male form and not a female form is ignorance and irreligious-In reality Brahmam has no form-"Formless"(Aroopam) No Name(Anaamika) and No attributes(Nir Gunam)-To Have "Brahma Gjnaanam" (Understanding the Brahmam) and Experiencing the "Unity with the Brahmam(Brahma anubhavam) the human being(Vedhaantin) should be of"Super Intelligence"(Brahma Gjnaani)--one in hundred thousand humans---for a human of "mediocre- less intelligence"person -the common humanbeing- the concept of G--O--D=God-one level below Brahmam(Avathaaram) --- was conceptualised as "Saguna Brahmam" and given the nomenclature "Eeswara"(G--O--D=God) or Eeswari(Goddess)because for that 100,000-1-persons an Alternate Path(Anya Pantha) need to be shown-all can not be "Brahma Anubuthis"--that is the "Genious" of Hindu Saints-Therefore the feeling that GOD can only be a Male is "Male Chauvanism"-and irreligious.

To each they're own. All I can do is tell people about Jesus and how they can achieve Salvation. If another wishes not to believe in Jesus, it will not be because they didn't hear about Him. I don't care to try and force my views to those who don't want to believe as I do. My way is in my opinion the right way as I'm sure those who choose to believe their own way whether it be Hindu and all of their gods or Catholic and praying to Mary. All I can do is ask a Catholic to show me in the Bible where we are supposed to use Jesus' mother as an authority to reach God. Only Jesus is our Messiah and our Savior. I know a Hindu personally and it takes him about an hour each morning to go to each of his pictures of his gods and pray to them. I have never witnessed to him because at the time I knew him, I was not saved myself. I wish I could sit down and talk to him about Jesus.

I think they are all false religion and condemed by God.
So it matters little what anyone else thinks because we are not the judge but the bible clearly states that we are to love our enemies and pray for those persacuting us.
they are all violent and the only way to the father is through Jesus as the messiah. No Idol worship is acceptable by god or worship of a goddess.
Read the first three of the ten commandments.
Col.1:15 tells Jesus is important to our salvation.
John 3:16 Tells us that if we do not accept Jesus their is no other name by which we may get saved.

Its not for as human beings to judge who is right or wrong.
Its about us tring to tell others the truth that we believe in.
Be it Catholics, or Hindus, we cant judge who is bad or who is better than us, as we all in this world of sin!
Just Pray to God for guidance and to show others the way too!

It depends how you define worse. Worse for the person who is Hindu of Catholic? Worse in God's eyes? Or do you mean which is worse in terms of which is more devious?
Hindu's do not claim to be Christian. Catholic do. Which is worse, a poison that looks like poison, or a poison that looks like wholesome food? You decide which is more deadly.

I'm not protestant, but they are about the same...
The catholic apostasy brought in so many pagan festivals that pagans wouldn't notice any difference.
Why not follow the scriptures as they were written and not the way 2 thousand years of false teaching have shaped the catholic "church."

If you think that neither of them are bad, as you mentioned in your note, then why ask such a question..to prove that you are smart enough to start a controversy or to prove that there are foolish enough people in this world who would try their best to show either of the two as inferiors..!!

If you believe Human was created in the image of God, Why does God have gentile organs?
If you are sure God is male, how did you identify he is male?
What is the purpose of him being a male?
And if he is male, then FEMALE should exist. it is like if there is a heat, cold will also exist.
Bible was not written by God.
Did Jesus tell you when world is created and how?
Has he written anything on his own hand?
Why do you think God is alone?
How do you know?
