Thanks for trying to clarify.

Really? That seems a strange marriage! In fact, it seems a non sequitur. A member of AA who practices secular recovery? I...
guess so. People of faith who do not invoke God's help in their recovery?? You lost me.

Oh, yes I sure do. When did anyone come out and denigrate another member on here, though? I don't recall that happening. Not just the calling people uneducated--I don't recall seeing
any personal remarks like that in the discussions I took part in.
General opining such as "Faith and reason are forever irreconcilabe" is just that, stating an opinion. It is not mocking or discrediting. (At least I didn't think so: It simply states that because faith is blind acceptance, it is fundamentally different from any worldview based upon reason, which entails asking questions and challenging established notions.)
Hey, good morning.
