Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

This story caught my interest, but not my belief. The church was famous for its relics back in the day. They were used as a means to legitimize the faith and add mystique to places of worship. Sometimes they were also sold as artifacts of power to wealthy investors who believed that the withered bits of famous dead people held some special supernatural potency. Because the temptation to invent relics was so great, and the profits for doing it were so substantial, I am suspicious as to the legitimacy of any such remains.
