There are times when I feel compelled to speak out against ideas which violate what I view as the most fundamental principles of reality, and denial of the individual self is one of them. The rejection of man's spiritual quest in the cause of anti-theism is another. We're all searching for answers, but bashing the beliefs of others won't get us there. And I certainly have no desire to undermine the MoQ.
[Mark] I do not see an bashing of MoQ, I see a different approach. No way you could undermine MoQ, not possible. I could probably twist what you say into MoQ speak. All precepts and tenants can be interpreted in a variety of ways. This so called anti-theism is the creation of a ghost. It is chasing windmills, and the term anti-theist is nothing more than reactionary. There is a sense of superiority where none is needed. It is quite easy to paint MoQ into the theist camp, and this has been done, but such suggestions are superficial at best. I suppose the intent is to separate ones beliefs from what others believe but the anti- term really does not provide much more than say, not this, whatever this is. A positive approach to any metaphysics is more productive than proving what it isn't. You provide a well thought out approach, and you know my difficulties with it. Value, Quality all the same thing. How do we describe it?
