I challenge everyone to prove Tyler wrong... I'm sure we can! He won't mind. And, Tyler, aside from a little scuffle there with Bugs, I think we are actually moving towards a reasonable exchange of ideas and maybe even moving towards a little mutual understanding, which of course allows for disagreement...

Iriss... it is my understanding that AA is based on a spiritual solution for alcoholism. That the founders were very interested in being inclusive to all understandings of God, not just christian ideology. In fact, there is nothing in the Big Book about Jesus, Moses, Buddha, etc... That's why it's a spiritual program, not religious...

I like how dog said it... It was just the donkey SOME of them rode in on.... lol....

It has ALWAYS been "God, as you understand Him...."
