alpha, firstly my comment was nothing to do with your opening post, but everything to do with K's comments re islam and faith
however in any case your comments do not show that having faith is naive..

how does this show that having faith is naive. alcoholism is a huge weakness. admitting weakness and summoning strength from an external source in times of need is no bad thing nor is it naive. some people get to a point where they are just to weak to begin the process of rehab alone. inspiration is inspirational.
