[MD] Theocracy, Secularism, and Democracy

[Andre Broersen]

Arlo to Marsha:
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.

Andre:
Hi Arlo, I have noticed the same reasoning with Bodvar (of course). He 
sees the difference between, for example the map/territory or 
verbal/non-verbal etc etc all as indications of the old SOM and 
therefore to be rejected from the MOQ point of view. The reasoning is 
that a map is an inorganic pattern of value, words are a social pattern 
of value. They are value, therefore Quality (capital Q)... okay it is 
static, but Quality just the same and therefore Reality. So to argue a 
distinction between the two is to swear in church, fall back into the 
SOMish mind and be hopelessly misguided...a weak interpreter.

The map IS the territory.

The word IS what it says it is.


Therefore, the MOQ, as an idea, as a written document, IS Reality...IS 
Quality.


Krimel was therefore correct when he pointed out to Bodvar that 
cannibalism and human sacrifice is not confined to Islam but in fact 
practiced among many Christians every week as the central theme of their 
liturgy.

'If you ask a Catholic priest if the wafer he holds at mass is really 
the flesh of Jesus Christ, he will say yes. If you ask,'Do you mean 
symbolically?' he will answer,'No, I mean actually'.(LILA p 404, Alma 
Books).

For in the beginning was the word and the word was god. The MOQ a 
religion... NO! Reality!!
