If that is the case why do you spend so very much of your time comparing and contrasting your little denomination to the Church?
What I can observe is that you do venerate and respect relics. Your only issue is the degree and passion with which Chistians do it. You probably wouldn't use the marble slab in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher as a picnic table or rinse your socks and undies in the pool at Bethesda. But why respect them if they aren't more than just old rocks, right?
Not fair!
Mat 28: 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
