11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

This is still another tiresome call to dependency, other-directedness, and disregard for facts, logic, and rationality.Not incidentally, seeking such "guidance" from God was considered the only legitimate reason for prayer by the Oxford Groups. This step is an expression of the Oxford Group belief in "two-way" prayer, in which God both listens and makes its wishes known. In view of this step, with its repeated calls for prayers to "God," the claim that AA's program is "spiritual" rather than "religious" sounds downright ludicrous and more than a little dishonest.

Step 11 Satire

You must continue to inventory your garage, and when you find that you are hoarding some really useless junk, promptly admit it and list it on your inventory for your yard sale. See, you really needed the extra pens. You might also want to inventory your liquor cabinet, just in case this new miracle doesn’t work any better than the ranting and raving of the ego maniac, religious freak, con man, snake oil doctor, BILLY  WILLY, the egotistical original 13^th stepper. Remember to say that you are grateful to be a recovering lunatic.
