I agree with Lillamy. Different philosophies help different people. People come from different places in terms of their limited understanding about how God/the Universe works. I can't claim to know the reason for lots of horrible things that happen. I do think that things ultimately do happen the way they are supposed to happen. Which is sort of begs the question, but what is, is. I think our responses to whatever DOES happen can make a huge difference in our lives and others'.

Personally, I couldn't see making that particular statement and believing it. OTOH, I think there are glimpses of truth in lots of philosophies and religious traditions that I don't personally subscribe to. In the overall scheme of things, if the group/meetings help you otherwise, I wouldn't let a small-t tradition of that particular group get in my way.
