Rituals, prayers, liturgy, doctrine and the like have been viewed as means to salvation. Those who have had the most to do with such matters have been regarded as being in charge of them; i.e., in control of them, able to use them to save some people and withhold salvation from others. Such confusion and beliefs about control are characteristic of addicts. Acquiescence to such confusion and control is characteristic of codependent supporters of addicts. Clarifying the nature of salvation and recovery from addiction and codependence is the work of God as Love, and is not preoccupied with technical means or their control. True religious leaders of integrity will help their followers understand the role which addiction and codependence have played in the life of religious institutions. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
