A Very Disturbing Holy Relic

You know, I don't ask a lot out of religion these days. Keep the masses at peace, placate them with charity, help them out with guidance on how to live in the world, but most importantly, don't keep disgustingly ridiculous things as holy relics.

Case in point, the link in said title. It leads to an article about the Holy Prepuce, or, for those of us without shiny vocabularies, the Holy Foreskin of Jesus Christ. Foreskin, for the uninformed, is the skin on the front of the penis, usually cut off in circumsicion (like in Jesus' case).

Now, this brings up the question. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU KEEPING THE GODDAMED FORESKIN OF A DEAD MAN THAT"S OVER 2000 YEARS OLD!?!?!? IS THAT SORT OF THING IMPORTANT TO YOUR SAD LITTLE RELIGION?

Because if it is, it deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth forever. Period.
