Went to an AA meeting the other day - the reading from the big book was about grasping spirituality and the guest speaker
( 5 years dry but still going to aa and describing himself as an alcoholic like somebody who has been dry from alcohol for 5 years is a problem drinker FFS ) went on at length about how he fought against belief in a higher power for most of his life because he was so arrogant he refused to be told what to believe - I walked out at that point . Calling me arrogant for
being a rational atheist . Fuck aa sideways
From the way you have referenced it it is obvious that he was only talking about himself not atheists in general
As he never actually that said YOU were arrogant yet you walk out as you simply assumed that he did say this
You have a serious problem with people of faith peacefully expressing their opinion in public you know
Remember your hissy fit last year because Jehovahs Witnesses refused to answer your loaded questions
They were peacefully standing there minding their own business until you started to harass them for no good reason
What gives you the right to do this to people ? I never ever harass Jehovahs Witnesses and I see them all of the time
Why not just go to an AA meeting and befriend the people there if you are feeling a bit lonely ?
So what if they believe in a higher power ? Long as they are not imposing it on you let them be
I can be friends with absolutely anyone no matter what they believe and so can you if you really make the effort to
Try to understand that not everyone thinks like you and it doesnt make them any less of a human being for doing so
I still have hope for you as I always do but you seriously need to work on your impulse control
I would like you to go back to that AA meeting but this time stay there and make some friends
Not for my sake but for yours so ultimately the choice is yours and yours only to make
