I hate to say it ("No he doesn't."--ED.)  but if religions are going
to "desanctify" saints and other holy figures on the grounds that they
don't have sufficient proof of their existence, how long will it be
before they get rid of god?  Playing "devil's advocate" here ("OOH, that
hurts."--ED.) if St. Christopher has significant symbolic meaning to large
numbers of people, how can he be "abolished" while keeping the rest of the
religion around?  Does it boil down to "my unprovable beliefs are more
correct than yours"?

(It's just a question)
