When I went to AA in the mid-70s, there was no such thing. It seems to have developed while I've been gone. (And they didn't even ask me what I thought about it. Can you believe...? :) <BR/><BR/>As for the God aspect, it all sounded very much like the Christian concept to me and it was a major turnoff. In LSR, we often refer to Higher Power as "Doorknob". We'll say "Thank Doorknob" or somesuch. It really is only to get away from the notion that there is something "out there", controlling our actions. I simply can't buy into the latter at all, no matter how hard I've tried. <BR/><BR/>I agree that too many confuse spirituality with religion. Religion is one of those things that ~ well, I could go on and on. Let me leave you with this quote from Ed Krebs:<BR/><BR/>"The World is divided into armed camps ready to commit genocide just because we can't agree on whose fairy tales to believe. In the end, Religion will kill us all." <BR/><BR/><BR/>May you have a most peaceful night ~<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thailand Gal<BR/><BR/>~*~*~*~thailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.com
