Ah. A borderline--either black or white, nothing in between. I respect that, I've BEEN that. I also got over that. [rkz--this is your cue to belittle me--go ahead]
I'll continue:

One good thing religion does that one cannot do for oneself? It teaches surrender to those who are helpless before their addictions and hatred.

Wanna take on all the 12-stepper's in the US? Myself, I wouldn't feel comfortable telling successfully recovered addicts that they are NOT recovered due to a HP but merely deluded by Big Corporate Brothers or what have you.
I don't believe the Bible is the Word of God--[i]however[i] I would never presume to tell people how to worship or what to worship--let alone give doubt to those who find comfort in the concept of a Higher Power.

Rip away, r. post bombs.

tell me how stupid and irrational I am. I look forward to it.
