That is the best comeback I've heard yet! Another is: "Religion is for
weak minded people." I didn't used to think so, but there is a world
of difference between religion and spirituality. And sometimes (most
of the time) the two don't meet at all.

Actually religion is a crutch and only cripples need crutches. BG

What was it that was said in the dope culture of the 60s....

Reality is a crutch.

To those who say "Religion is a crutch" I ask "And who isn't limping?"

I wish I could recall where I heard that first.

Then again I always thought it was sort of affected to be gimping
around with a cane or on crutches, when not injured or disabled.

Add to that the fact that religions are all the wrong SIZE for
most of us folks who may or may not be limping.

P.S: Make that "the wrong size, shape, and ATTITUDE."
