Apparently in Alcoholics Anonymous it is!
At an AA meeting last night, I spoke of empowering oneself and "accepting" the positive use of energy or power to change an often painful behaviour like the additiction to the drug alcohol. I was told that I had a disease and in denial! Furthermore, the word got out amonst the cult memebers that I have no God or deity and they all started to prostelytize me with their Christian God. One cult member said it was alright to have a door knob for a "higher power" and then laughed at me. What in the world is going on here?

These are merely symptoms. The true description of the disease is 'not knowing' and everybody is afflicted including me. It is pandemic.

AA is a faith based recovery program. ALthough there is a section in the Big Book about Agnosticism.
Try something else.

I represent Ray Ban Sunglasses. Would you consider a contract to promote our eye-wear?
billboards would be included of course, something along the lines of "our lord and Savior wore them, why don't you?"

why are you at an AA meeting? do you think being an alcoholic is wrong or something that humans haven't evolved into?
