Is Christianity a crutch?
Most non-Christians consider it to be a crutch. Most Christians on the other hand take offense to the question. If you think about it, it is a crutch. A crutch as defined by Websters (a support typically fitting under the armpit for use by the disabled in walking), would make this question false. I put forth here that Christianity is indeed a crutch, which I would describe as simply a support, and that the question that should be asked is - "Do you need a crutch?" The answer to this question should be in all cases should be yes. We all need something for a support. It could be a saving faith in Jesus Christ or it could be alcohol or a similar substance. Jesus Christ is the only "crutch" that has no permanent destructive side effects.There are "side effects" but these (pain and suffering for example) will end.
