[MD] Ham & swiss cheese

[Michael Hamilton]

Marsha,

You have a good point: there hasn't been much MOQ-oriented discussion
and interpretation around here at all recently. But I don't think the
answer is to alienate or silence dissenters. And I especially don't
think we should put up a placard saying "theists, take your business
elsewhere". It is my belief that we have a lot to gain from
investigating what the mysticism of the MOQ has in common with theism.

My suggestion is that you just ignore the likes of Ham and Scott if
you aren't interested in what they have to say, and instead channel
your energy into writing the kind of posts that you DO want to see on
the MD. I too would very much like "to learn more about how the MOQ
would address the problems confronting the world today." If you start
a thread along these lines, I'll do my best to support and contribute
to it.

Regards,
Mike
