I spoketh the truth. 

[Arlo]
No. You did not. I likened your elevation of "the MOQ" to the reality it
describes as ANALOGOUS to the elevation "the Word" into the God.

I went on to say, after your knee-jerk distortion, that you could drop the
bible analogy and say its analogous to turning the map into the territory.

I've also objected repeatedly to the anthropomorphizing of "the MOQ" into a
non-human entity that has some sort of "voice", as in "the MOQ says..." What
began as a useful narrative genre adopted by Pirsig has become the cemented
rhetoric who claim that Pirsig has misinterpreted "what the MOQ says".

Perhaps you don't understand words like "like" or analogies or things like this.

Or just stick to nonsensical meowing if all you're going to do otherwise is
engage in dishonesty.

And if you have no shame in being dishonest, Marsha, if such a thing is too
preachery for you, then I can meet you down on your level... if you prefer.
