14 June 20049:20 am: The bomb blast in Baghdad that killed at least 10 this morning, was accompanied by the favored anti-American slogan, "America is the enemy of God." The infidel-accusation extended farther, as The Washington Post's Edward Cody reports "The young men who raged around the bombing site Monday, for instance, denounced Iraqi police and U.S. soldiers as members of a single hated group -- atheists." 8:45 am: "Here was religion put to me in a different way and presented by three past-masters in liquor guzzling. On the strength of their stories, I decided to give it a try, " writes Ernie G , one of the first beneficiaries of Alcoholics Anonymous proselytizing, and so a frequent mention in accounts of the group's history. Another prized part of AA history, the working draft of the movement's bible--the "Big Book"--is now up for auction at Sotheby's, prompting debate among scholars about the manuscript's rightful place.
