Atheists say that religion is just a crotch...Is that all these people think about?

@KarenisKenziesmum Same word, spelled differently and with some ambiguity in meaning between countries & regions.

@ffony No, it's not. They are unrelated words.

@KarenisKenziesmum You're sounding awfully Anglo-pedantic. Words change meanings, spellings and relationships by their usage over time and distance. Remember what 'gay 'used to mean? Where (& when) I was growing up 'crutch' referred to a supportive device OR the junction between the legs (of one's person or pants.) 'Crotch' was not a word. Where I now live 'crutch' still refers to a support; but the leg junction is called a crotch.

@ffony I've never heard of the junction between the legs being called a crutch. It's always been a crotch for me to remember. A crutch has always been a supporting device. I'm no more "Anglo-pedantic" than the average person in my neighbourhood. Most of us are "Anglo-pedantic" to some degree, and it's no bad thing.

As for the older meaning of "gay", I've heard about that from older people I happen to know in the area, but that meaning is all but obsolete now.

@ffony I've never met any homosexuals who can't bear to say they are homosexual. I live in an equalitarian city where homosexuality is accepted like all other forms of sexuality. The other meaning of "gay" is more or less obsolete now, we don't hear people using it in that context these days.

@KarenisKenziesmum Oh, well then .....
