The whole AA program makes God look like a "Loving Father" who really isn't.
If you have to get rid of fears and resentments in order to be "close to God", then you never will be close to God, because everyone of us has times when we fall, fail, and flail in fears and resentments.
Honestly, fears, resentments, and other emotional tumults are just works of the flesh, attempts by men and women to justify themselves, to fight for what they need and want in this world.
Men and women come to AA dispossessed and despondent, then they are told that they have to do more, have more, and be more for other people, when what they need has not been provided for them at all.
How can a man give law when he does not have love? Paul promoted this necessity in 1 Corinthians, which is not about "doing love", but "having love".
If we do not understand how much God loves us, then we cannot love others:
"We love, because He first loved us. "(1 John 4: 19)
While we are blessed when we give to others, we are blessed when we receive from God. The AA God is just another selfish, dysfunctional parent who does not care about his kids as much as he cares about himself. More to the point, AA's "Higher Power" is just a mere extension of the arrogant and empty guru Bill W. who projected himself to be a good, wise man, when in reality he was a venal peddler looking for love and adoration, taking from everyone who came into the halls of AA, and never working the very program which he imposed on other people.
