Every time I hear of religious relics, I'm reminded of Baldrick's Jesus Fingers :funny: ...

All the science in the world won't help here, the shroud doesn't need it. The shroud can be shown fully conclusively and explicitly to be a meddy-evil forgery, and still the faithful will come.

Religion poisons everything.

Catholics will swallow anything. The priests teach them that early.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

"Ma'am, would you be interested in buying the skull of John the Baptist?"

"I thought that was in Notre Dame?"

"Ah, that was his skull as an adult. This is his skull as a child."

The only thing that old rag's been good for is deflecting the gullible from the church's scandals. Anytime things get too uncomfortable they just trot out this old chestnut. :roll:
