Oh Arlo, can you really be this obtuse?  Or are you just waving a
distracting flag in your opponent's face?

John:

Pirsig himself said, "In this regard, the Moq is anti-theistic"  Do you
have any clue at all what that regard is Arlo?  Or are you just another
parrot who repeats dmb's ill-formed and anti-intellectual postings?  I'll
give you a clue, the original quote is in the Coppleston Annotations.  If
you can provide me a rationale for your conclusion - that is, some
reasonable rationale.  Then I'll take your arguments seriously.  But I
don't have time for squawking parrots.

John:  I don't define the MoQ as theistic.  You really are a very poor
reader, if you think that. In fact I haven't heard anybody say such a silly
thing and I wondered at what games are going around your head.   I said *I*
am theistic, but the MoQ is beyond mere theism.  The MoQ is a tool for
choosing  and a platform that makes choice rational.

The only thing I'll find in the archives, is intellectual circles going
'round and 'round and getting nowhere meaningful at all.

Please God, send some intelligence to this man before I scream.
