"Some recent offerings on eBay included the air that Christ purportedly breathed, the supposed wing of the Holy Spirit and the alleged hand of Saint Stephen."

5. Ah the gullible

but science ain't people's strong point.

Every gult I take, I breath, statistically that is, air that was around when Christ walked the earth.

Silly, silly people

7. Used to think about the air thing when I was a little kid, a LONG time ago

Same air as Christ, Tom Jefferson, Tom Paine, Ben Franklin, Hitler, and unfortunately, the grandfather who hated me.

Gave me much to consider about reality and what one chooses to do with what is there for all.

I was a VERY peculiar little kid.

6. I have a tuna sandwich with the form of Fryr Tuck and also an "ex gingerbus"

relic of a fat round man in dark bread from an ancient dig in my backyard. Will consider shipping to the highest bidder that also covers freight expense and insurance for these priceless and irreplaceable irreligious matched pair objects. Absolutely authentic.

Be the envy of next Sunday's gathering as your new relics are coveted by your neighbors, cistern, and brethren.

Only a limited number left, get your pre-xmas orders in now. Only certified payments accepted.
