im serious are they?

No, not at all. Why would they be? They are more powerful than you, and those things would not stop you would it?
Demons hate the Lord Jesus Christ who has all authority over them. His authority can send them straight to hell, or just out of the person they are possessing if they are lucky.
Jesus is a little bit more lenient with us, He knows that we do not quite understand what is going on. Still, we cannot resist His authority. Jesus will not put up with rebellion for long, and ultimately, those who remain in rebellion will end up in the place that is meant to lock up the demons.
There are cases where special miracles were done by God at the hands of Paul where his loose clothing was taken to the sick and used to heal people and to free them from demons. It was not "holy cloths" it was the power of God. God was merely expressing His approval of Paul's ministry. So, in this sense, such a thing might be done with water, or a cross I suppose, but there are no such examples in the Bible. Even so, it would be God's power, and God showing His approval of someone's ministry. (see Acts 19:11-17)

Some of them are. Those whose existance was due to the efforts of the Christian entitiy known as Satan are vulnerable to such things.. Demons from other cultures belief systems are not affected by Christian symbols, prayors or the like and must be dealt with in ways detailed in the realms from which they are a part.

In my opinion, Holywater or crosses doesn't drive demons away. Me thinks, you've been watching too many hollywood movies.

No they are not. Demons have entered the church. they are allegic to the word of God.
They know to bow down in the presence of the Lord, as shown in Acts 9 and Acts 5.

I accidentally drank some holy water once. My lips puffed up and my eyes watered like crazy. Fire Demon thought it was hilarious. So yeah, demons are allergic to holy water. Angels love the stuff. They act like its Mountain Dew or something. Oddly enough, angels are allergic to sea food. Crosses just repel us. Its impossible for a demon to enter the same room as a cross. They physically repel us.

Ha ha ah you should ask the Seven Sons of Sceva from the book of ACTS about that one. Relics, incense, "holy water" and all of those shrines are actually non pervasive to Demons, b/c GOD has given us the power of the HOLY GHOST which far outweights any material object.

Hey. My answer, simply NO. There is nothing to be protected from, unless your spirit/spirituality is so low that earth bound souls can possess you. Oh yeah, magic is forbidden. Take care.

First, one has to believe in demons... Then, one has to believe in holywater and crosses....Then one has to believe that the demon is allergic.
I find it laughable.....
