I’m grateful we still have the freedom to worship,whatever it means to you, today.

Maybe his gratitude for remaining sober and drug free comes from his freedom to worship, however he chooses that to be? You seem to feel free to express your thoughts on not believing in God and sharing info on the satanic temple, and that you’re able to remain sober without God. So why can’t he or anybody else do the same with God?

Your profile pic is of the satanic temple. Satan was Lucifer before he was cast out from heaven. Lucifer was Gods top angel. It’s difficult to understand why you’re questioning Kevin’s daily gratitude because he’s grateful for the ability to worship and your profile pic literally represent a temple(place of worship) to Gods perfect angel? Maybe just chill out?

I have heard your fairy tale. The Satanic Temple isn't about Satan. Do some research, then get back to me.
The guys only post was simply religious, not sobriety related in any way.
I hope you get the help you need to find yourself. Every post I’ve seen of yours comes off as negative and counterproductive. Have a good life.
Without a higher power of some sort greater than you, good luck staying sober.
I moved to worship myself.

You only see it as such because it conflicts with your personal views.
I have a favorite coffee cup that is my higher power. It never lets me down. It is always there.
Is my sobriety secure?
Thanks Taylor. Interesting, you have a coffee cup as a higher power. Justen Furstenfeld, lead singer for Blue October, has a bumble bee as a higher power and is over a decade sober. Whatever works.
No, I don’t believe in or practice religion. Personally I think it’s a tool for control, but if it’s helping someone become a better person I don’t see any harm in that. Your posts just come off as negative. This isn’t the only time or the only social platform you’ve been told this on.

I see your frequent rants and post decrying the stupidity of belief in God. I'm convinced, but not of what you want me to believe. I'm convinced when you say you don't believe in God, you are lying. See, I don't believe in ghosts. I don't run around trying to convince people who do they are wrong. I simply don't believe. So in my mind you are either lying and mad at whatever diety there is, or you are an egotistical bully who feels their lot in life is to prove others wrong. People believing in something or not does not affect you, so why rage against them?
I'd say I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't care what you "are convinced of". I have never called anyone "stupid" for their belief in anything at all. You're twisting the facts or you're seeing them with the filter you wanna see them through.
The title of this post is "worship god". Ithere is nothing regarding sobriety. I have no anger at any deity since I don't believe, that would be silly. . I have only contempt for those that force it on others, either by telling them they need it to remain sober or to remain as good people etc etc.
That was a joke. I hardly think this coffee cup manipulates my life in ways that are sometimes favorable and sometimes in other mysterious ways that it has yet to reveal to me, haha.
You never know—lol. Apparently a bubble bee motivated Justin to stop drinking and drugging for over ten years. To each His own.

Again as much as you rant against the idea of God I am convinced of the opposite
Haha yeah no kidding. If it's not hurting someone else, who cares?
Well, that's a you problem, not a me problem.
…actually the post is under the heading of gratitude. Some people are grateful for their pets, their families, food in the fridge, roof over their heads etc. He literally said he’s grateful for the “freedom” to worship. He even followed that up with “whatever that means to you”. On the surface it seems pretty harmless to me. Most here on Loosid seem pretty open minded when it comes to tolerance of other’s beliefs or non beliefs. Most of us are happy to let others believe whatever they want to believe. I understand you are reaching out to those in recovery who may be struggling with the power greater than themselves concept of recovery, and offering them another option.I think there is a place for this idea. However, I t’s the very intolerance and judgment you despise, that you are displaying in your posts. It ain’t easy having a different opinion than the majority. I don’t know man. Maybe if you help one person with their recovery at the expense of pissing off 1000 others, it’s worth it. However, maybe if you posted with less contemptuous, you would attract and help a few more than you already are.
