[MD] Plains Talk and Pragmatism

[118]

Hi Ham,

Hope you don't mind if I jump in.  The more I listen to the arguments for
anti-theism, the more I am convinced that it is a knee-jerk reaction.  The
notion of anti-theism whatever it may mean to the individual may be a phrase
to give credibility to MOQ.  I do not think that such a thing is needed,
however, there seems to be such distaste against anything religious by the
so called intellectuals that I can see its rhetorical use.  I believe that
MOQ and Theism can live side by side without any difficulty.  A theist can
subscribe to MOQ and the other way around.  My dialogue with dmb is simply
to promote awareness of my understanding of Theism, and perhaps harmonize it
with his understanding of MOQ.  The emotional bent may make this an
inconsequential debate.

As you perhaps say, the term anti-theism has no value to me.  The
interpretation of such can be misleading and miss the point.  It is not
whether MOQ is against Theism, that does not define.  It is whether MOQ is
of value.

Just my opinion, of course,

Mark

So what do you think, Matt?  Is the MoQ, absolutely anti-theistic?  I am at
