WE DON'T NEED A GOD IN AA... REALLY?
The Big Book has got to be the most disgusting piece of religious literature ever written. The lack of respect for humans and human nature is mind boggling. It blows my mind as to how a mental health professional can actually take it seriously. Check this out in chapter 4 'we agnostics':
"To be doomed to an alcoholic death or to live on a spiritual basis are not always easy alternatives to face."
In other words Join our cult or die. Bill Wilson is telling us that if we don't join his twisted religion we will die, doomed, death.
and this:
"...something like half of us thought we were atheists or agnostics. Our experience shows that you need not be disconcerted."
That is so arrogant and patronizing. Actually Bill I don't feel disconcerted since leaving your cult! So I only think I'm an atheist? But really I am superior like you?
and this:
"Our human resources, as marshalled by the will, were not sufficient; they failed us utterly."
Our human resources are all we have! Perhaps His Holiness wants them marshalled by the Cult! Remember Bill did say we could turn our will and our lives over to a Group Of Drunks (G.O.D.)
and this p 53
"...Either God is everything or else He is nothing. God either is , or He isn't. What was our choice to be?" (Wow!! such logic!)
This is crazy!!!! A few pages ago I didn't have to believe in God! Now Bill Wilson gives us a choice.... Ok Bill, He isn't... so what do I do now?
"Without knowing it, had we not been brought to where we stood by a certain kind of faith?"
Yes we had, faith in our fellow humans, and many of us were betrayed and dead.
He tells us then that we had been faithful to a "God of Reason". Really Bill tries so hard to drill God into our heads, doesn't he? Nope wrong Bill. Why do you keep mentioning God? Isn't this the chapter to the agnostics?
"We found, too, that we had been worshippers." Worshippers? See how Bill keeps using words associated with religion? So what if we were worshippers! What the fuck is he talking about here? We had been worshippers, so what the hell let's worship Bill's God!
"Imagine life without faith" Bill says, trying to excite us. Perhaps he'll whip us into an insane religious frenzy!!
" He [God] was as much a fact as we were." Now God is a fact! Bill must have been out of his fucking mind altogether. One page we don't need a god, the next He's a fact! He is so arrogant and deluded here that he believes at this point of his stupid argument we will all come to believe in his idea of god. This has got to be the weakest argument ever for the existence of God.
