There is no "God" that is going to judge you after you leave here. id rather go through life believing in God and that I will be judged by Him and find out it isn't true than go through life not believing in God and find out its true.

Balance is good. Experience, Strength and Hope is unique to each of us. Looking at his 2 posts from 2010, it seems he's on a mission. I guess we all are in our own way.
I am unique like everyone else. Not terminally unique anymore thank heavens.
I like that saying "If I am okay with me - I have no need to make you wrong".
We're all just trying to be ok deep inside.
I am acceptable as is. It's OK!

For me, the good thing is.... This kind of post would have offended me not so long ago. I read it, got a slight funny expression on my face because I wasn't sure which direction it was going.... Then I started getting slightly annoyed because I thought I had a feeling of which direction it was going..... Then by the time I had finished reading it, I felt peace and got a huge smile on my face..... because I realized what Tasha and others have told me it doesn't really matter what others think about me and I don't have the need anymore to prove I'm right and someone else is wrong. I have my hands full of myself without trying to change other selves unless they want me to share my recovery experiences with them, which I will do so with open arms and heart.
I don't think it has anything to do with who is right and who is wrong.....I know BS when I see it...And this chap seems to bring it by the truckload. Read his BIO. I have no clue why some people come to AA recovery sites...Or what thier agenda is....But I do have compassion for the ones that do because they are hopless....And are looking for what this program is about....That's why I try to stick to it.
Stepchild...this is beautiful....
"But I do have compassion for the ones that do because they are hopeless....And are looking for what this program is about....That's why I try to stick to it. "
I know what it's like to be hopeless and reaching out BTY....Firsthand. I'm just thankful I had people there that carried the message.....Not some other nonsense.
