Mary Mother of God - is not God
For those who worship Mary the mother of Jesus, please stop. Below is a short synopsis of the basic belief by those Catholics that Mary, as the Mother of God, should be deified. It is all predicated on Mary sharing her own genetic material with Jesus Christ and as such being imparted with some God like characteristics. But many fail to see that God imparted life into man through the breath, not the body or blood.
Genesis 2:7*(New International Version, ©2010)
7 Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
As you see the essence of life comes from the breath not from any genetic material associated with the body. When Jesus was in Mary's womb he was not breathing therefore not sharing his Holy 'sinless' breath with Mary. Therefore Mary could never share Jesus Christ's breath and be infused with any Godly characteristics. Mary was as human as anyone else and had not gained any sinless characteristics because she shared her blood, or any other genetic material, with the infant Jesus in her womb. Jesus Christ took his first sinless breath outside of the womb, not inside, so Mary received no special spiritual benefit from carrying the infant Jesus in her womb and as such had no special God like sinless characteristics transferred to her.

Mary: Mother of God
Fundamentalists are sometimes horrified when the Virgin Mary is referred to as the Mother of God. However, their reaction often rests upon a misapprehension of not only what this particular title of Mary signifies but also who Jesus was, and what their own theological forebears, the Protestant Reformers, had to say regarding this doctrine.
A woman is a man’s mother either if she carried him in her womb or if she was the woman contributing half of his genetic matter or both. Mary was the mother of Jesus in both of these senses; because she not only carried Jesus in her womb but also supplied all of the genetic matter for his human body, since it was through her—not Joseph—that Jesus "was descended from David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3).
Since Mary is Jesus’ mother, it must be concluded that she is also the Mother of God: If Mary is the mother of Jesus, and if Jesus is God, then Mary is the Mother of God. There is no way out of this logical syllogism, the valid form of which has been recognized by classical logicians since before the time of Christ.
Although Mary is the Mother of God, she is not his mother in the sense that she is older than God or the source of her Son’s divinity, for she is neither. Rather, we say that she is the Mother of God in the sense that she carried in her womb a divine person—Jesus Christ, God "in the flesh" (2 John 7, cf. John 1:14)—and in the sense that she contributed the genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ.
