Don’t Scare Newcomers by Mentioning “God”??

More nonsense from the co-dependent, “I don’t want to offend anyone—I want everyone to like me” bunch of half-measures people-pleasers.

What kind of AA mentor would be more concerned with impressing, and not ‘offending’ a bunch of probably non-alcoholic people who are only there to get their court-slip signed—rather than in helping the “I’ve hit-bottom” alcoholic who is ready for help? The fact is, these ‘I-know-it-all-but-the-Big Book’ people may not be real, chronic alcoholics themselves and have never experienced that full spiritual awakening as a result of practicing and living all 12 steps. They cannot transmit something they don’t have (and never worked for) themselves. Sad.
