Yes, religion can be a touchy subject due to beliefs, dedication, etc.

Having said that, I would reinforce that the guidelines say to "limit" the discussion. I feel this thread is well within the guidelines as to its beginning thread and all of the responses.

If it were to get really detailed, or sparks would start to fly, then it would be better to take it to private. However, it's a good thread as I see it...start to finish.

If Rainbowzz wants to respond and give explanation, that's cool too. It's when a thread based on religion gets deeply involved in beliefs, opinion, rights and wrongs that it can sometimes cross the guidelines.

However, asking about a "higher power" for AA (and this being the substance abuse forum wherein AA and other recovery tools are discussed), and then explaining what that higher power might be to an individual should one choose to attend is fine, I think.

It's kinda up to the members where it goes from there.

Thanks!
