When I sobered up there was an 'old timer' who'd been sober when AA was relatively new, and HE used to say he was an atheist. He was a hilarious, loving man who probably saved my life by allowing me to embrace my lack of faith. (He had a cool nickname as was popular back then, "Boxcar Bill"
Over the years there were good people explaining to us that family is important. AA as an 'addiction' is not a healthy place to be.
There is good reason to believe that third tradition story in AA is referring specifically to being Gay in the 12 and 12, and even if not, the all-inclusiveness of the tradition is about any alcoholic. They didn't want women at first either.
With Freepers? What can you say? There is no way this would fly in any meeting I've ever been too. it's inimical to everything AA is. Just as their politics and social positions are inimical to life itself. They are very sick people. Very angry, and point fingers outward instead of having any introspection at all.
I found this on a news app, and was kind of shocked, I don't know why.
