Who the fuck are you talking to? I don't know who said half of the arguments you spouted off, but it wasn't me.

My point was completely referencing your poor support for you meaning "higher power" when you use "god". You used an organization that begrudgingly accepts an alternate meaning of the word to appease the populous. Do you know what the success rate is for people that go to AA/NA? ~5-12%. Do you know what percentage the successful have chosen a less than main-stream god as their higher power? <1%. You are supporting your argument with <1% of 12% of an already select and impaired populous. Way to make a solid argument.

And yes, if any populous is going to accept a potato as a higher power, I guess addicts would be the people to reference...but that sort of circles back to my point.
