The never ending problem of religion. Is there a God? What is a God?
And probably the never ending problem of MOQ; is DQ God?
Well, I live in a country where even the atheists are catholic, I'd say. So the
"Is there a God" problem is intrinsic in our culture....
I think that classically the atheist/believer struggle is about the "self
consciousness" of God. The atheists say that there's not a God who is conscious
of his role of universe governor. Often they recognize that the chance is not
enough, so they write Chance in capital letters....
>From my MOQ view point, self consciousness is pertaining the intellectual level.
It's a static intellectual pattern. To state that there's a self conscious DQ is
to diminish DQ.
DQ is not alive; not ritual; not rational, beautiful, moral and spiritual....
and not conscious. It's *more* than all that. Now call it God, if you want. It
doesn't change a lot.
DQ bless you
Marco

Dear Matt,
Thanks for fleshing yourself out (13/6 18:29 -0500).
Your dislike of discussing the philosophy of religion does not convince me
though. What about sharing (religious/DQ) experience (instead of "discussing" in
the sense of exchanging opinions) as I suggested?
Do you agree with my (9/6 23:54 +0200) definition of religion as the essentially
human pursuit of re-experiencing DQ?
You identify yourself as an atheist, someone who thinks God doesn't exist. Why
not as a agnostic, who does not believe in God?
Which God does not exist for you? Whatever you write, I will probably agree with
you.
What does "believing in God" mean for you? I will probable agree that I don't do
that either.
Do you think DQ exists? Would you "believe" in it, if "believing" were to mean
just "trusting"? It would amount to something like trusting that static patterns
migrate towards Dynamic Quality...
With friendly greetings,
Wim Nusselder
