i think the whole purpose of "AA" is to help 'one' become "REBORN"...
...wonder why so many people have problems with the concept of a "HIGHER POWER"...
oh sure... you give 'lip service'... but the bottom line is that you don't "TRUST"... anyone... or anything... especially a supposedly "GOD" that allows such atrocities as have happened...
i hate to be the one to tell ya... but you are only shooting yourself in the foot if you think that way... but then again... i may as well be talking to myself... seems i'm the only one that can make sense of what i'm trying to say...
ya know... i may be crazy as a loon... but if i am... i think perhaps we may have the wrong people locked away in those institutions...
it's a wonderful day in the neighborhood...
only you can prevent forrest fires...
lol...
