[MD] God is dead?

[Steve Peterson]

DMB and all those mourning the death of God,

We've talked somewhat before about the MOQ levels corresponding to levels of development that all people (hopefully) go through. Pirsig never looked at the MOQ levels in terms of devolopmental psychology or cognitive development or evolution of worldviews as Wilbur has with his system, so your Wilbur knowledge may be more important than the MOQ in answering my question.

I'm wondering whether religion is a necessary or important stage of development for kids. I have a daughter and I have some desire to raise her within a church. I kind of think it may be good for kids.

I was also thinking about the relationship between adolescent angst and exististential angst and wondering if they are similar. Is existentialism a stage between a religious perspective and postmodernism or pragmatism or whatever.

I hope that's enough to spark some discussion. I'm definitely interested in people's views on whether they would consider taking their kid to church.

Is God dead or is God for kids?

Regards,
Steve
