Me as well. It cuts all the crap in between out. There IS no in between with God. Either you are going to trust him to guide you through life, or you're not.

"Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves."

Big Book p. 45 - We Agnostics

When I first started studying the big book, in my early treatment days, I would deliberately skip this chapter, assuming that it had nothing to do with staying sober, and I probably wouldn't find much useful information in it. Oh how naive I was. Chapter 4 is my current favorite chapter.
