The older version of this was incorrect and directly contradicted AAs literature. It took about 1 minute to find the correct information at their website.Associate 12:22, 10 June 2007 (EDT)
- I think its a complete crock for AA to try and pretend it isn't a Christian organization. For the love of you know who, they use the capital form of God in their steps.
- So what if it is a Christian organization? Does that somehow mean the help they have provided to millions of individuals and their families should be invalidated? --Tom.Insley 13:01, 10 June 2007 (EDT)
- I'm not too up to speed on this, but don't Jews and Muslims refer to God as well? I know they have other names they use (Yaweh, Allah), but I think God is used too. --Colest 13:05, 10 June 2007 (EDT)
- AA doesn't "pretend" to anything. It clearly states its goals. It has an inherent bias toward a "higher power", and if you don't believe in one of those, you don't have to join.Associate 13:34, 10 June 2007 (EDT)
- 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."--Elamdri 13:38, 10 June 2007 (EDT)
