Steve:
I'm not so sure. A philosophy has to be about living well to be worth a
darn. I mean, yeah, it doesn't give answers about what do do when asked in
many contexts and especially not in the context-less "meaning of life" sort
of way that I think is behind this thread. In lots of decisions, thinking
about the MOQ would be silly, but I don't know of any religion that does any
better. Asking "what would Jesus do?" when trying to decide how to
arrange your living room furniture comes to mind. In other words, I
question whether religions tell us "how/what to do" too.
I do think that the MOQ can help sort things out for us and help make
decisions. This "greatest ordering of reality" gives as much guidance on
"how/what to do" as many religions (with the added bonus that unlike most
religions it's not just a bunch of crap...just kidding...sort of...) but
like Christianity it also will not help you arrange your living room
furniture.
Regards,
Steve
