[MD] Theism/epistemology

[X Acto]

Ron:
My way demands nothing, as I stated, if you desire to define your expereince in terms
of God, thats your choice, if it brings meaning and value to your own expereince
and it works for you, great. I however do not, I have my own way of defining expereince 
and meaning, and thats the whole point of the arguement. MoQ typically follows
the school of Pragmatism on this score. Each person decides for themselves what 
is meaningful. Doling out meaning for others is the problem. 
The one that is sensed in your arguement.

The beauty of Moq is this has no conflict, it is a non issue. It incorporates theist and atheist
alike, I am neither a theist nor an atheist or an anti-theist, I'm not out to fix THE world
I'm out to fix MY world and none of those concepts figure into what I deal with on a daily
basis.
MoQ simply says that it all begins with you. With each individual paying more attention 
to their own lives and how they are linked to and effect others.

MO: Well, no. Its not "the end of it" if "your" way demands "our" way to step 
aside in the interest of overall greater Quality. Atheists, reading Pirsig state 
MoQ is "anti-theistic", inspite of all their well-developed intellectual capacities 
leap right over the concept that MoQ being anti-theistic does not demand the 
non-existence of theism for reality to function or even thrive in an MoQ 
understanding of reality.
