I-G-N-O-R-A-N-C-E, MS. Nothing but. And FEAR of the unknown.

I've always been a "question authority" kinda gal, and must've been born with an Open mind. Because it really is very simple. people are, and want to be and deserve to be loved...no mater who they are. But if you try and convince someone or end up shaking their perceptions of reality, they get scared.

T o have anyone question anything about the Bible is scary to some. I used to drink and do drugs and questioned the sexist language in the AA big book and it upset tremendously a member whne I shared at a meeting one time...with me saying that maybe one could explore Alternative means of getting sober if AA did not work. Boy did *I* get it. (which was inappropriate in a meeting.)

Two days later that person got drunk and has stayed that way. I've been sober 15 years now.

The world is wild and mysterious and amazing place and I intend to explore it all and be Open to whatever new expereinces it throws my way.

But that's just me. ;0
