Hi Steve, Is there something wrong with seeing it as a religion? Does it mean that perhaps you have been fooled? Religion gets a bad rap, logic is king. Long live the intellect! It's the only real thing. Religion does not involve intellect, because it is wrong.
I do not think that there is much wrong with seeing MoQ as a religion, it puts it in perspective. I do not want to worship false idols.

Steve: You are correct that we can't make a distinction between the MOQ and religion in terms of man-made/not man-made. Both are seen as being man made and both perspectives think of themselves as discussing something that is not merely human. If we think of the MOQ as getting us in touch with something powerful and non-human, then we MOQers are a religious bunch indeed. I think Pirsig can be read that way, though that is not the way I would like to read him.
