And not all christians 'honor' relics. Some would say no christians 'honor' relics...
Would it be 'neat' to find Noah's ark, the ark of the covenant, a splinter from Jesus' cross, etc - I suppose. Many let these things become distractions from our relationship with the one we worship.
I may have a pocket knife from my grandfather, but it is no more than a reminder of the relationship that I had with him, and it doesn't replace him. If it were gone, I would still remember him...Since my God is alive again and with me constantly, having a 'relic' to remember Him by almost seems silly...
i hear ya, but you shoulda seen these pilgrims crawling for miles on this greek island to the “relic”. some were quite old and sick. creepy to say the least.
Well, Muslims don’t worship the black stone either. They just (attempt to) touch & kiss it because Muhammed did so.
