Michael, The difference is faith, how you define it in line 2 has nothing to do with what you just explained. If you choose to call expereince god, thats fine, but know the more you get particular with terms the more baggage come with it and the more difficult it is to keep from entity-ship. The whole point with using the name quality is because of it's descriptive power in relation to the function we describe. A vanilla term to be sure. Calling experience quality is not enough but some accurate term must be used in relation to the total concept, To me the term God takes one further away from what is being expressed as nothing in particular but experience in the now. -Ron

Perhaps this is the > meaning you miss. MP: Ron, if this is the case then the whole discussion has come round to crash in on itself. Arlo initially questioned the belief in God as nothing more than equal to a belief in Leprechauns because there's no way to prove either. He rejected my contention that I see evidence of God in things he sees as no such thing. Yet I see that evidence through experiences he obviously does not have. So if you all can affirm Quality is by nothing more than saying experience is proof, then where's the MoQ based criticism to speak against affirming God for the same reason?
