Yikes again! I was NOT calling you names. Take another look. In that
sentence the "amatuer hack philosopher" is me, not you. I think the trinity
and the fall are "childish and absurd", not you. (Athough I'm beginning to
think you have an inferiority complex.)
Hi David,
It would be "_especially_ an amature hack philosopher" who would find the
Trinity and the Fall childish and absurd, a mature philospher would surely
take some time to think about it and not find it so foolish. (In that
sentence, btw, it's you, but I reserve the right for it to be me sometimes).
How can you call the Trinity absurd when the MoQ has the identical trinity
in it? Surely you can see the analogy of Father and Son to DQ leaving SQ in
its wake. The concept of the Trinity came about from people trying to
understand the nature of God, just like DQ, SQ and Q came about from Pirsig
trying to understand the nature of Quality.
And isn't the Fall analogous to the arrival of the intellect, or perhaps the
social level (we're still debating those), and leaving the biological bliss
behind? Isn't it more than an analogy, but a literal description of what
happened (perhaps apart from Satan the talking snake, God walking around
looking for them, etc, which are colorful and efficient ways of describing
the cause and effect of knowledge on people.)
