Reply #82: Believers send patients to AA [View All]

...or CODA/Al-Anon/ACoA. They tell you you don't have to believe in god, just surrender your will to Him (ha ha) and confess your sins to another person over shit that isn't even your fault, such as being born to the wrong parents.

By the way, where would anybody get the idea that taking medications for pain and/or anxiety is a sign of a moral defect that requires prayer?

It is unseemly to brag about membership in a religious organization, especially one ostensibly based on anonymity. Once you break that anonymity and bring discussion of it into a public forum, the organization is open to criticism from people who have been hurt by it. To say that such people have no right to be angry at all this tribalistic har-dee-har-har at their expense is unbelievably arrogant.

There is a forum for religion, and a group for your specific religion. Discussion thereof is more appropriate there, in my opinion, and with that expressed, I shall cease to disturb your beautiful mind. Good day.
