Distilled Spirits

To those who have fought against a belief in God, as I did, I have this to say: I still don't understand my God. I don't have to. All I have to do is not fall into the trap of believing I must logically analyze and tabulate all information on God before I can believe in his existence. If I want the answer to that question, at the next AA meeting I'm in, all I have to do is see how many people raise their hands when asked if they have a year or more of sobriety. This should be sufficient to prove God's power. By the way, if you can't find your own God, you're welcome to use mine until you do. He won't mind. He's used to cracking tough cases.
