Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers
4371. It is a sad religion that is never strong except when its owner is sick.
4372. Most people have some sort of religion, at least they know which church they’re staying away from.
4373. Religion is a cloak worn by some people who will be warm enough in the next world without one.
4374. God wants man to have religion more than in his soul; He wants him to have it in his shoes.
4375. Religion is behavior–not just belief.
