The MoQ is what you use to see if your theism is any good or not. How could itself be theistic then?

Against the very common formulation of blindly worshipping the sq interpreters of the past. That's his main theme, that I've seen. And one in which I heartily concur. For the MoQ is at its heart, open and evolutionary, not dogmatic and doctrinaire.
