[MF] MOQ and theism

[Marty Jorgensen]

Question for you, Kevin.  What does it mean to "Live a life of Quality"?
What would such a life look like?  Is it merely an INTENTION to live a
certain way, or do you envision a path to follow, that any man could
emulate?  Would a "life of Quality" require certain activities and restrict
others?  I'm curious about what you have in mind when you suggest this.

  Thank you David.
   
  Re: Whether God's personality is determinate or indeterminate.  It would
appear the question is moot for those who would claim God does not have a
personality.  That is, of course, given that the question is concerned with
something substantive and is not merely hypothetical.
   
  I note that your historical references do not include the mention of God's
Trinitarian nature.  If you want to get to the root of the question
concerning God, the person, you will need to consider the Trinity.  Of
course the context here is Christianity.
   
  Re: Answers that do not "revolve around any particular sectarian claims,
what it means "for me", what will offend grandma or how we see it on any
particular morning" but that approach the question "in broader historical
terms."  Your suggestion surprises me David.  Why put the MoQ up against
2,000 years of Christianity?  Besides, the historical references you
provided are nothing more than other people's ideas about abstract
constructs.  Aren't you arguing against these kinds of Platonic forms?
   
  Re: "The problem with metaphysics AND religion in the West."  I hear you.
And I agree.  Pirsig has it right.  The answer is not more static theories,
dogmas and doctrines.  The answer will not be found by searching for the
truth.  The answer will be found by living a life of quality.
   
  Happy Holidays.
  
Kevin
