in AA they (don't worship) anything or anyone

in most all churches they worship the God of the bible
in AA they cuss and discuss
most church people know better than to cuss in the house of the Lord

in church (we worship) God
in AA they (don't worship) anything or anyone particular

in a sound church I (we) listen to a good sermon
in AA which I attend often I'm not sure what I will hear
that's one reason why
it is good to have a sound moral AA Sponsor who knows the AA Big Book well
so as to help one sort through the bull

there are so many more differences
more than can be listed
