Alcoholics Anonymous tells its members that selfishness is their biggest problem, that self centeredness is their biggest problem. However, the whole program starts with them worshipping a God of their own understanding. They are very simply worshipping themselves!
Ultimately, if we trust in some god based on our limited understanding, we are pretty much believing in ourselves. What kind of madness is that?
And yes, indeed, many people who frequent the rewms of Alcoholics Anonymous are selfish. They have been taught to see themselves as victims, as though they have no control over this so-called disease of "alcoholism," They are terrible Pharisees in their own right, and they go out of their way to make themselves feel good, to take care of themselves.
There is something called a "newcomer frenzy" which breaks out in the AA rewms. When a new person shows up, all the self-serving old-timers rush at the person, wanting to go out of their way to help this person. It's all about making themselves feel good, nothing else. They will push other people away and harm others, just so that they can feel good to rush and be that first person to "help" this newcomer.
It's really disgusting. The most helpful thing, the most unselfish thing that anyone can do in AA is to turn people away from that awful cult, and get real help from the Gospel!
AA is a selfish program, one which basically teaches people to worship themselves.
