gav:
pirsig misconstrues faith

Andre:
Not sure if I agree gav. Quality is the ineffable but it can be
directly experienced every minute of the day. Only if you substitute
Quality for 'God' and all its connotations the gap is created through
the religious institutions which simply say that mystical,direct
experience is not attainable for you (because you are born in sin as
the Christian faith would have it) but!! if you do the right thing and
keep your faith and, more importantly, go through our intermediaries
(priests) they will help you keep this faith and if it proves to be
strong enough (in the eyes of God) you may, if you are lucky or
'graced, or 'blessed' receive 'direct, religious experience.

This is what angred Pirsig.

What a fucking con trick.

Unless I misunderstood you...imho

Andre the unfaithful.
