I would want you to embrace your faith as passionately as I embrace mine, but that's just me. There actually is an Old Testament verse I could quote but its meaning is so much more indistinguishable to most (I believe). My intent was not to put either Testament "out there" for interpretation or understanding but rather to put out the concept of love being something that motivated Bill Wilson and how he practiced the principles which he passed on and which we now incorporate into our sober lives. You know - like "we'll love you until you can love yourself" - "you don't have to like everybody but you need to love everybody" - that kinda stuff :) Exactly what you closed your comment with... BTW friend - your comments are a breath of fresh air. Where did you get sober? lol... I’m not sure I’d view it as a prejudice with a need to be overcome since we are of different faiths.

For this alcoholic, I have not yet overcome that prejudice but accept that others have found a path with it. A power greater than myself keeps me with that power when I actively seek faith, hope and love in my thoughts and actions toward others.
