Hi Dan and everyone who agrees with Dan,

Now you stated that you were anti-theistic.  However, the command to keep
dynamic quality concept free is straight out of the hand-book on Theism.  Do
you know why there is a command against the worship of false idols?  This is
because God cannot be encapsulated in such idols, it is concept free.
 Creating concepts of God does not lead to God, worship does.  You are
asking us to worship dynamic quality.

I assume you know this since you put yourself squarely in the camp of
anti-theists.  You cannot take this stand and then use Theistic concepts to
further the cause of Quality.  MOQ is based on rational thought, not in the
denial of rational thought.  This kind of dictate is dangerous and you know
it!  If you are going to drag Pirsig in, then please explain why you deny
rational thought to dynamic quality in your own words?  Is there any
rational reason besides a Theistic one?

I believe you owe the group an explanation, not some sentence from Pirsig.
 In my opinion you are clearly on a wrong and dangerous path here.

If you are a disciple of Hegelian philosophy (for example) does that mean
you subscribe to every precept of Hegel's?  I wouldn't think so, because if
so, why would there be any reason to further his philosophy through debate.
 Pirsig is no God, he is not infallible, he would tell you that himself.
 You are treating him in a Theistic way, which is unbecoming of this
metaphysics.

Please explain why you deny rational thought to dynamic quality.  Have you
read anything but Pirsig, for example Theistic premises?

I await your response and from anybody who agrees with you.

Patiently,
Mark
