[MD] Faith/Skepticism

[Lord Arioch]

aye,
Christ surely made his pact with lucifer,to reign over all the 
kingdoms of thine earth. Truly, none may demonstrate proof
o'God Quality nor lucifer.
yet exist they do, influence they shall, and chaos shall reign
as Hell on earth.

Lucifer, light bringer, purifier, freer o souls.

MP: No Arlo, I get it. I just don't have the time to formulate a perfect rejoinder to 
your example. There's no point in doing so. Your example shows only that you 
are convinced of Quality, and not of God or Leprechauns. Nothing else.

What you fail to recognize, because Quality is so obvious to you, is that it is 
NOT that obvious to the world at large. Sure, they recognize quality when they 
see it. Hell a dog recognizes it. The difference is you (and most here) AFFIRM it 
as Quality. You add the capital letter to it, and THAT takes faith.

Its outside reason; you can't prove it, just as Phaedrus couldn't. And that roots 
the whole MoQ exercise outside the realm of reason (Phaedrus called it the 
Church of Reason, right?)

Making quality into Quality takes a leap of faith. If you deny that, then you need 
to prove Quality exists using reason.
