By inaccurate I mean how punk can a white kid from an affluent, Jewish, suburban family in California be? By inappropriate I mean would a Theravada leader want to be associated with an idea like, "a Power greater than ourselves...;" or the notion of a "God as we understood Him" to be "Sought through prayer...to improve our conscious contact with...Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out" (From the 12 Steps)?
