God isn't a crutch he is a Spirit who exists inside and outside creation. He created the universe, the atoms to super clusters; he is the Father of our Spirits and in him we move and have our being. So where do you get the idea that God is a crutch, rather God is everything.

Once I was a staunch believer in evolution and now that I look back, I can see that evolution to me was a crutch. Even though I knew it was only a theory, I believed it more because of convenience and peer presure rather than sound logic. You see if evolution were true, then it means that we are responsible to no one and we can do whatever we want with no fear of judgement of sin when our lives on earth have expired. I think that I used evolution as a crutch to support my sinful lifestyle and I also think that when I faced up to my responsibility before God and other people, then that was the time in my life when I threw the crutch away and became a responsible person.

You see, if you think about it, we all need help and support and a crutch of some sort. You need oxygen and carbon dioxide to breathe. You need a body in which to exist, you need food, you need water, you need other people. So my advice is just get real and realise that we all need support because we are not God. If we say that God is a crutch we are just showing ignorance because God created the universe and the earth, including oxygen, food, water etc.

A crutch by definition is an aid to help you and that description is really a huge understatement when it comes to God. Of course if you do not believe in God, then your crutch is your disbelief. This gives you the false freedom to sin without judgement. In my opinion, if you want to throw away the crutch and face up to your true responsibilty, then you need to face the truth that God exists and live a life worthy of a righteous person. But if you do not like true responsibility, then just simply ignore the truth and use your unbelief as your crutch to justify your sinful lifestyle.

Other people say that God is an explanation for people who cannot understand science or grasp the theory of evolution. Of course I also strongly disagree with such people. It is true that a degree of intelligence is involved in order to understand some scientific principles and theories. But we have to acknowledge that evolution is still called a theory because it has never been proven and as just because someone doesn't believe in this particular theory doesn't mean that they do not understand it, infact it is the fact that I understand this theory that leads me to disbelieve this huge stretch of the imagination.

People who believe in God may or may not be intelligent, but they are enlightened in this area. In other words they are not in darkness to this reality. Now if belief in God required a certain intellectual level, then all those who were born under that level would miss out on knowing God and of course this would be very unfair. But God has made his existence known to all who want the truth and often this knowledge is given to the innocent and children because some intellects are so proud of their abilities that God doesn't reveal the truth to them, he resists them because of their pride and they are made fools in the light of truth because such people try to exalt themselves.

Now certain so-called intellectuals deny the existence of God and have built a whole structure of theories on this precept. Yet to this day their theories change constantly because of new scientific knowledge and this seems acceptable to many in the scientific community. But if you really look at the truth, you will see that all those scientists were really deceived, because the new theory proved the previous one incorrect and what makes you think that the most up todate theory today, is not going to be proven wrong in a few years. However the truth that all design warrants a designer and every house is built by someone acknowledges a creator and this simple and timeless logic was true, is true and will be true in the future.

You know the story about the Emperor who wore no clothes, well the moral of that story was that it took a simple and honest child to speak the truth against all the intellectual pride of the adult world. Now imagine for a moment, the whole universe including the microscopic world in one moment if you can and think about the immense amount of logic and technology involved. Then try to imagine that this wonderful creation made itself by blind chance. If you really believe that foolishness, then you are just like that naked emperor. Your ignorance and pride is your nakedness and in the light of truth you look like a fool. Now read Psalms 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God...

& Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

So is God a crutch, well perhaps to some people he is, but if they use God as a crutch then their faith must be very small indeed because he is much greater than a crutch. No God is the source of all good things and should be your everything and those that acknowledge this truth are enlightened in that area of their understanding. If you do not realise that God is the source of all good, then you need to come out of the darkness and into the glorious light.
