Message Subject Calling All Amateur Astronomers! How far away are stars? How do we determine this distance? What makes it reliable?

If we gave incorrect distances for the Stars and other objects we see in the far off distance, wouldn't that artificially inflate the size of objects that we see?

Are the objects that we say are many times the Sun's mass actually so? Wouldn't that only have to be that way if objects are really that far off? What if they are closer?
