Of course, you believe what you like.  How do you know "God is Love" 
is not misquoting Paul, too.  The bible was written by fallible men 
with their own point of view.  I do not believe Quality is 'Good' in 
the moralistic sense.  I find Quality to be amoral, based on experience.

Which version, or versions, of the bibles have you 
studied?   Original text, or from a printing press?

There was a time when millions of human beings believed the world was 
flat.  That would suggest that it is very possible that millions of 
people can be ignorant of "truth".

I agree that neither can be scientifically measured, but Quality is 
experienced.  That is not the same as having "Faith".

I am not surprised at your reaction.  I might be interested in your 
views of the MOQ.
