It's sad that so few can find the same realization in the people around them...
After all once they have beat their addiction. Once they have climbed out of the pit of despair they were in. It's the people around them that ultimately accept and forgive them. It's their fellow man that REALLY gives them their second or third chance. This speaks more to the compassion and acceptance of your fellow man than to the love of Jesus IMHO. I agree with you that if it works for you, power to you. But like you I'm not entirely convinced it's always 100% positive. I wish more people could become born again humanists.
But I DO know what it's like to feel you have hit rock bottom and feel like you are in a pit of despair.
