Relics like these were a dime a dozen in medieval Europe. I particularly liked
an account from... I want to say Desiderius Erasmus, about a visit to Rome where
he bought 5 of the nails used to hang up Christ on the cross from the same
person. (Legend says that there were only three nails.) According to Wikipedia,
there were no fewer than ten cities and churches that claimed to have the Holy
Foreskin of the Baby Jesus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Prepuce)

"The President is merely the most important among a large number
of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to
the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct,
his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and
disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is
absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell
the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly
necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when
he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both
base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of
the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or
wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about
him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth,
pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

I loved this about the "holy foreskin":
During the late 17th century, Catholic scholar and theologian Leo Allatius
in De Praeputio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Diatriba ("Discussion concerning
the Prepuce of our Lord Jesus Christ") speculated that the Holy Foreskin may
have ascended into Heaven at the same time as Jesus himself and might have
become the rings of Saturn, then only recently observed by telescope.

kill as many Arabs as necessary, to deport them, to expel and burn
them, to have everyone hate us, to pull the rug from underneath the
feet of the Diaspora Jews, so that they will be forced to run to us
crying. Even if it means blowing up one or two synagogues here and
there, I don't care. -- Ariel Sharon, interviewed by Amos Oz (published

No solid evidence or proof exists that Jesus actually existed much less that
he was a God. However, those that those that are so frightened of death and
a hereafter grab at any myth or that will save them.

I'm still waiting for someone to claim to have found the skeleton of
the baby Jesus. I'd be willing to bet that some Christians would
believe the claim.

From that link:
"Christ walked the Earth and suffered for mankind. This shows people that it
was real, not just a movie," Garcia said. "It's just to bring us back to
reality in our faith. It's not just the Bible, it's something you can
actually touch and feel."
I'm not even going to comment on that one. It speaks for itself.
