Dear Platt,
Such "Ad Hominem" personal attacks are the usual mode of the "intellectually
bankrupt".
Here is the Whole Truth about "Cosmotheism" that David Buchanan
and his own ilk of "Selfishly Subjective and Egotistical Egoists" can't
abide:
An Interview with Dr. Pierce

Cosmotheism is a religion which positively asserts there is an internal
purpose in life and in the cosmos, and there is an essential unity, or
consciousness that binds all living beings, and all of the inorganic cosmos,
as one. Our true human identity is: we are the cosmos, made self-aware and
self-conscious by evolution. Our undeniable human purpose, is to know and to
complete ourselves as conscious individuals, and also as a self-aware
species, and thereby to co-evolve with the cosmos towards total and
universal awareness, and towards the ever-higher perfection of consciousness
and being.
Required Reading For ALL Cosmotheists
Our Destiny By Lew Rockwell
An interesting article related to Cosmotheism/Classical Pantheism:

The intellectual level is the Highest Level for Pirsig's MOQ, Platt, but,
the Highest Level for True Cosmotheists is DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS!
Best regards,
Paul Vogel
