April 15, 2016 - Readings in Recovery: The Eye Opener

The Serenity Prayer
The Eye Opener
Friday, April 15, 2016 
Men may call themselves atheists, agnostics, unbelievers or what have you. But the fact still remains that man must believe in something. 
If he thinks his own presence here on earth is simply an accident in the forces of nature, then he must believe that the forces of nature are able to create him with all his delicately adjusted organism. To do this, the forces of nature would need to have intelligence in a very high degree and, in addition, there must be a tremendous creative force to carry out the dictates of that intelligence. He, himself, could not do this, so this force of nature is superior in a vast degree to himself. Bingo! He has found the God of his understanding; let him call Him what he may.
