Not really sure if I buy into it. Met some great people there, most are deranged trash and want to tell me how to live my life. I have met great people who shared how they were and how they got out of the active addiction. I have no reservations and understand for me I have the inability to drink like a good ole boy. I cant stop when I drink. It changes my personality to that of hell spawn. Think anger crying.

AA has helped for the past few years, lately its like living with the children of the corn. Commie cult. Not sure.

What do you think of AA or gay a as i call it? Does it help or hinder you? anyone you know?

This guy says different from the party line Orange papers

For that to be true, it would require a lack of converts above the age of possessing critical thought.

But that's not the point im addressing. The basis of nearly every religion is that you are controlled by a higher power and everything that you do or that happens to you is a result of this higher power. Not yourself. The example i am most familiar with is Catholicism. If i were a catholic, i could see your wife, lust after her, stalk her and rape her, kill her and bury her body - all horrible things. Then i could stroll into confession, tell the priest what i have done and have him forgive me for my sins, absolving me of all of it and i could just walk away from the responsibility of it all. Because the higher power is responsible. Not me. But the same logic applies to everything. And the the human mind's strong rationalization skills uses religion as a coping mechanism to deal with the terrible things we make decisions to do. That is why religion works. It creates a way for you to stop blaming yourself and a start blaming someone else for the fucked up shit you do.

I was making a generalization, but I see where you're coming from.

Very well said. To that, I'd add that organized religion is a control mechanism to keep the masses from rioting.
