Compare your situation to that of George W Bush, who was an alcoholic
loser until he was saved by Jesus. That experience truly seemed to
help get him off alcohol and improve his life.  I've known a few tm
teachers who also struggled with alcohol problems until they had a
similar "being saved" experience with Jesus.  So that experience can
save a person's life if they're really struggling, but does that mean
that the whole evangelical belief system is gospel truth not to be
questioned?
