[MD] Are theists irrational?

[markhsmit]

It is my opinion that it is unwise to create a Masonic system
based on science and the manipulative methods of logic.

A world ruled by the frontal or prefrontal cortex, which is governed
by survival, would indeed be a step backwards.  This is not the
expression of Quality.  Quality is sensed by parts of our brain
and body not associated with the frontal cortex.  The rational
and logical subset of our existence does everything to block
Quality out.  It creates square structures that are so simple
that they detract from the rest of the Quality world.

It is fine to use the intellect for certain things, but to place
it above all else does not serve the purpose of Quality.
We can consider the intellectual level to exist, but to
create a church based on it would only be a dead end
in an otherwise fruitful evolution of man.  Beware of
false prophecies.  The intellect is a controlling instrument,
it serves to relegate all else.  We are not a bunch of frontal
cortexes walking around, we are much more.

IMO, of course.

So what you are saying is that a system based on science is has higher morality
than a religion based on moral principles. Either you are delusional and should
get help....

[Arlo]
In the MOQ, intellectual patterns are morally superior to social patterns. I
agree with Pirsig. 

[Mark]
or you are using the word moral in an entirely new way. 

[Arlo]
I am simply using it as Pirsig uses it in his metaphysics. 

[Mark]
How about if you use the word "Chipmunk", that way it will not be confusing.

[Arlo]
How is it confusing you, since you claim to have read Pirsig?
