You assume He placed her on a pedestal, He didn’t.
Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him. And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.” But He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?” And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.”
Mark 3:31-35
While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
Matthew 12:46-50
Yes. You’re still saying we need to pretend she was “almost perfect” when that’s not anywhere in Scripture. Where does it say she was to be honored like Christ? Where does it say she was “close to being sinless”?
I’ve yet to see where Christ says any of those things.
Also no one is pretending. When she told Jesus to make water into wine at the wedding, did Jesus not honor his mother and fulfill her request? Or how about when they lost Him and He was at the temple, did He not honor His parents and leave to go with them? Also to the sinless part that is also indicated everywhere as well. Why would the apostles turn to her for guidance after Jesus’s death? If she was so full of sin, why turn to her? I would imagine that would be the worst person to turn too.
Let’s even go before that, how can she even bare Jesus in her womb if she was full of sin? Is Jesus able to come from sin or is it impossible for Him to be associated with it? It’s one or the other dude, in the Bible people were able to achieve this, so why couldn’t she? Or His father foster Joseph?
If you met Jesus right now don’t you think he would want you to respect and honor His mother? This is the issue with trying to figure out Scripture on your own, you claim to be able to source whatever but can’t seem to answer basic questions that are easily findable.

Not being a dick but are you sure you were talking to me?

Honestly, everywhere.
