Why Jane grasps at the Dead Sea scraps
(Bear in my the story of my old grandadddy who had memorized the Bible....but he was a relgious fanatic...) Maybe I don't get around much, but there are only two places that I know of where members memorize the 'text' and go around quoting it Iin the name of all that is Good, of course). ...

Higher? Power?
Draw out AA's own fanatics....just get them exposed, out in the open...so people can see what a fanatic sounds like. ... If the fanatics speak for AA, are you proud of them? Do you agree it should be 'one way or the highway' when the facts of AA have long superseded many of the speculations of the BB? ...

Hating Gays
It's all self justification for a fanatic, Frank. Self justification. That's why mental cases often grab the God deal. To be on the "right side" for a change. Speaking for God? No higher calling than that. A wasted life is now on the side of The Almighty. How else could it be? Best, GaryE Thus spake Godless Gary.

And another thing....
OK - so if that make me a fanatic or one-sided or a naïf - so be it. I can handle that :-) Grace Mohandas K.Gandhi's "Seven Blunders of the World That Lead to Violence and Injustice:" Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Knowledge without character Commerce without morality Science without humanity ...

Mel Gibson working the steps?

... a simpleton that achieves fame is for either of two reasons, a Forrest Gump or a Charles Manson. We I suppose might be somewhere in the region of 'simple to simpleton' I hope I miss the extreme of 'simpleton to fanatic'.

New Living Christian Translation of the Big Book
When I was going to AA meetings, even in Texas, seeing a religious fanatic was extremely rare. In fact, I don't recall seeing (that is hearing) one. Certainly nothing like these homo phobic 'posters' who troll through here. I saw (and heard) more atheist and agnostics than Jesus Freaks. Don't misunderstand, I heard ...

Dr. Laura Schlessinger Letter
As any horseplayer worth his salt will tell ya, consistency is indicative of class. ;) I've always managed to be able to push Bob's buttons. He never argues my argument, just me. That is, when he's not stalking rosie. Bob seems to react to the word 'fanatic'. Not hard to figure that out. No need for such humility, ...
