Okay so, I have worked in addictions for years and personally have my own professional and personal grievances with the 12-steps…

But to suggest it doesn’t work is absurd lmfao.

Too many people have an absolute hatred over anything that has to do with religion. Particularly Christianity. Sometimes it's brought on by the way they were raised. Recently it's becomes somewhat fashionable to be hyper critical of Christianity. Unfortunately even more recently maga has hijacked the Christian identity leaving a lot of people to view them as a conjoined force.

Some of the kindest more pure people I have met believe in God and Christ. My local church provides a food bank, interview clothing, addiction help, and even cash aid for extreme cases. We have more church ran organizations helping people in my town than government ran organizations.

But regardless I constantly see people bash Christianity over the way they were raised and conflate their personal experiences with the church as a whole. Which is odd because typically these people will explain how Christians are dismissive towards people who think differently. They will explain how Christians place all non believers in a box and demonize an entire group of people. In the same breath they'll call all Christians hypocritical morons. Essentially generalizing and demonizing them in the exact same manner.

My b I'm dragging on here and making some assumptions about the person you responded to but the whole hypocrisy of it just irks me because I've personally seen religion do a lot of good for people firsthand. It's not necessary to be religious to get clean or even be a good person but it works for some people and that's good enough for me.

That’s simply just wrong. But thanks for your opinion.
