Ray R. replied to ken sherry's discussion 'the Atheist in 12 step recovery'"There is zero science behind AA . It's methods haven't changed since their inception in 1937 . AA is a cult that is probably causing more harm than good , and it's entrenchment in the mainstream as a treatment for dependency and…"

Ray R. replied to ken sherry's discussion 'the Atheist in 12 step recovery'"So , I would guess that the same five percent who recover doing absolutely nothing , would also view doing nothing as worthwhile ?"
Ray R. replied to ken sherry's discussion 'the Atheist in 12 step recovery'"Again , with a five percent success rate , the use of AA/NA in addiction disorder , is questionable , at best . AA and its twelve steps were birthed in 1937 . In the intervening 76 years , it's dogma , policies and procedures have remained…"
Ray R. replied to ken sherry's discussion 'the Atheist in 12 step recovery'"You are absolutely right Diane .

The success rate for these organizations is…"

Approximately one week ago , there was a discussion regarding the influence of music on atheism . Many commented on music they felt was important and meaningful . The vast majority of postings regarded popular music and groups . Apart from myself , however , there were only two very brief mentions regarding a composer , without which , todays' popular music would not have been possible .
