I do believe in God... and have experienced him in many ways. I grew up with "organized cult religion" shoved in every orifice...
The God I have come to know is a loving God and deeply cares and loves everyone... no matter who they are or what they did... it's not up to us to judge... and that is so hard to NOT do...
You will find that SR is a very open platform and embraces many ideas and views.... but the ultimate message is.... there is nothing we can do for the addict or alcoholic.... that is their decision and their choice.
However... it is up to each of us to take care of ourselves and those who depend on us (children).... outside of that.... it is up to God. God gave men free will to choose.... he loved us so much to do that.... all we have to do is honor the "free will to choose"...
Take care.
