Hi HT
Just because the program works for some does not mean that it is right or ethical or moral. There are many organizations in this world that work for some, this is no way to validate a organization. Judge a organization by its statements and beliefs. Using this standard AA (Its teachings) is often unethical, nasty and out of date.

Furthermore, you took my statment out of context. I was refering to a specific statement made directly before my post you quoted. Please be fair when quoting me and others.
I just don't see the purpose of trashing a program that works for many. Just because it doesn't work for some, does not make it worthless. And as we've seen on this thread alone, it works for some atheists too!
But, finally, the issue here is atheists in AA; not why AA doesn't work.
Shalom!
