re: #72 A Cranky One

“When I asked why, he replied that it’s not nice to kick out people’s crutches.”

I struggle with this concept because I find it easy to go from there to considering that people with intense religious faith in supernatural beings might be “differently abled” and in need of such a crutch, which feels patronizing. I mean, geez, why don’t we give them special disability stickers so they can park free on whatever day of the week.

A twist on this is thinking that some folks need to be afraid of a supernatural being in order to try to live morally. I don’t even like that thought at all.
