You need to limit your coffee intake. I said nothing nasty, nor dishonest. You fail to understand the difference between honoring those “remnants of Christianity”, and revering/worshiping them as many do (and not just limited to Catholics) who flock to crying or bleeding statues, over zealously “believe” in such things as the shroud of Turin being “miraculous”, and on, and on... And that’s what I’m arguing against.

But then, you seem to take this personally, and that’s your mistake, not mine. I’ve been very clear, and honest in my belief. I’ve not criticized a church, but people who are weak, and fall into idolatry over such things, in order to buttress their weakness. As for me...

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

I came on this thread to read an interesting story about an archaeological excavation in Bulgaria. Within minutes, several of you guys changed the story to “worshiping” relics. I thought that was stupid and bigoted.

And since you are the one who has written 2 long paragraphs, followed by a hymn for God's sake, I'd say I'm not the one to take a chill pill, lol.
