Yes, don't you think though that almost anything in life can turn into this?
Maritial Arts for example is a way of life for some people. It holds the
same qualities you listed (a complex combination of static patterns, social,
and partly intellectual patterns). Yet some arts focus on building DQ from
the SQ. I do agree with you that most religions stop responding to DQ, but
not all. I guess IMO anything can turn into a religion in the sense that
you described it, and would this be bad as long as the DQ kept flowing?
This forum is a perfect example (not to knock it at all, I love reading in
here) but we may have people that live by the MOQ that you could consider it
a religion to them. I guess now then the argument turns to definitions of
religion, but that fact of that matter is that people exist in this forum
that will fight for this philosophy to the ground. Many academic
philosophers completly ignore DQ. All they really do is sit around waiting
to shoot somebody else's work down, while never allowing their own work to
grow. Don't get me wrong DQ can stem from a debate about the MOQ and other
metaphysics, that's what we do here. You can learn more about your beliefs
or values by defending them. Let me know what ya think.
Best regards
