Do we really need relics to support our faith?

Nope.

Interestingly they take our minds off of the object of our faith and breed idolatry.

take our minds

"our"????

Who's "we", Kemosabe?

If relics breed idolatry in your mind ... by all means avoid them.

But please refrain from projecting that problem onto others.

How is it that a burial cloth of Christ (if real) would take our minds off Christ?

Amen Brother!

Next thing you know it will be claimed that special consideration will be given to those that touch, kneel down and pray to, or possess relics.
