Isn't "could" the key word?
"Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity"
So whether or not someone belives in God, science, or AA or none of the above, Isn't this step more about the possibility then the definition?
I beleive in a higher power, but do not get along with it very well. As someone who is trying to begin step 2, I can't help but feel that possibility is the key. I do believe that a HP could restore me to sanity. I doubt that it will, but it is a posssibility.
I am completeely opening myself up to get chewed out by everyone. Please refrain from doing so. Thanks.
