Pluralism
To accept pluralism is not to embrace openness but to reject one’s own tradition for another, the pluralist’s. Pluralism renders vacuous the notion of being in a given religious tradition. How is this preserving the uniqueness of individual religions?

I absolutely agree. It is frustrating that most Christians do not want to deal with our participation in the ultimate pluralistic religion (which many of us bring our God into): Alcoholics Anonymous...
Anonymous,
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Do you mean it is good or bad that Christians don't want to deal with Alcoholics Anonymous?
We should not be willing to participate in AA, which is a pluralistic, anti-Christian religion.
Okay, that I agree with! Not only that, but the word "alcoholic" was developed by the same guy who started AA; his goal was to take away personal responsibility and claim it as a disease. That, of course, is false because it is just a lack of self-control. The Bible calls it "drunkenness" and the person is a "drunk."
