[Platt]
When Christian law subjugates women, let me know.

[Arlo]
Are you suggesting Pirsig exempts Christianity from the following quote 
which you had provided?

"The selling out of intellectual truth to the social icons of organized 
religion is seen by the MOQ as an evil act."  (Pirsig in his Copleston 
Annotations)

Not to mention that in explaining this to SA, you provided the following 
"analysis".

[Platt] "That laws come down from God (Mohammed)."

If the "selling out of intellectual truth to the social icons of organized 
religion" means believing that "laws come from God (Mohammed)", why does 
this exempt the similar belief among Christians that "laws come from God 
(Yahweh)"?

You had also described veils as evil because they are "the selling out of 
intellectual truth to the social icons of organized religion". Any word yet 
on the morality of a ban on those stooopid "WWJD" bracelets?
