Re: Scott Stapp - Behind the Douchebag

If you want to debate the truth about alcoholism, we could get into that all day. I concur with the thoughts from the most recent South Park episode (best show ever), that it's not a "disease," and instead of someone claiming to be a victim they should take responsibility of their own actions. A disease, I think, is usually something that a person has no control over. Scott Stapp started his own poor drinking habits. Is smoking a disease? No, it causes disease.

About the Christianity thing, I don't hate Scott Stapp because he's a "struggling Christian." I'm angry that the man used that angle to his advantage for years, when he clearly has displayed no remorse for his actions and continues to blame everything on everyone but himself. I don't know him, but I just don't seem him as that poor "struggling Christian." I think, just my humble opinion, that he has used that for years and has no real interest in setting a good example in the media of what Christianity is.

How do you know he hasn't had any remorse? Unlike you, I chose not to kick someone while their down... and I find it to be more fulfilling to keep an optimistic outlook. I don't see how gossiping about what Stapp ate for breakfast or where he took his last piss will give you any pleasure. But back to alcoholism. The American Hospital Association, the American Public Health Association, the National Association of Social Workers, and the American College of Physicians classify "alcoholism" as a disease. But... of course you know a hell of a lot more than the nation's most respected medical doctors.
