To: Popman; Fai Mao
Got to admit that your remark is just about dumbest comment ever posted...

Some attribute the remark to John Wesley, so I think that's why Fai Mao said it was a Protestant saying.

However, some attribute it instead to a proverb used by second century rabbi Phinehas ben Yair, so I think the origin is up in the air.
