::I said its crock for them to pretend NOT to be Christian, not for them to BE Christian. And I think when you see "God" and "Him" written like that, and not "god" we're referring to the God of Christianity exclusively. Yes, Allah and Yaweh are the same deity, but for some reason they are not all included in the term "God."--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 13:38, 10 June 2007 (EDT)

::: I think that's just your own personal interpretation of it. You are never going to see someone refer to Allah as "god", but more likely as "God". Even the [[Islam]] and [[Judaism]] articles here use a capitalized God. I imagine AA takes the non-denominational stance in order to attract and help as many people as they can. --[[User:Colest|Colest]] 13:45, 10 June 2007 (EDT)

::::You are probably right about the capitalization issue. I usually only think Christianity specifically because Islam and Judaism both have a name for God. You don't see Christians running around saying "Praise 'I Am'." I guess you are right, and thats just my own personal interpretation. However, I have a feeling that when we're speaking about AA, its more likely than not that God is being referenced in the Christian sense. I of course could be wrong.--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 15:28, 10 June 2007 (EDT)
