Minnesota governor Jessie Venture said much the same thing last year, for which he apologized. If not religion, certainly Christianity is for losers. But, as you know, out of the mouth of babes . I think if Ted and St. Paul were having a coke and comparing notes, both would shake hands and smile on this issue, even if for different reasons.
Religion is precisely for losers, that is, losers who know it and own up to it.
Two men went into the temple to pray. One was a respected, honored, and self-righteous Pharisee. The other was a socially despised, disrespected, and shamed tax collector. The Pharisee bragged about his righteous acts to God and even compared himself to the tax collector. The tax collector didn't respond.
