Hi Jim

I see theists and Atheists that instead of practicing their beliefs rather find faults with the other groups.

I try to keep my criticism of AA to just about anti-Atheist statements (especially those that have nothing to do with addiction) and not criticize AA's pro-HP statements.

I am sure there are a lot of good HP people out there that could sponsor Atheist, if they can accept that HP is not prerequisite for sobriety and never was. There are too many secular sober people out there for this statement not to be true.

It's funny, that although I am a "God guy," for lack of a better term, I see many who are thiests are just as closed minded as they say the athiests are.

A closed mind is a sure obstacle to growth, no matter what a person's beliefs.
