Sam,
Your answer of "mu" made me laugh and the Wittgenstein quote is an excellent
one.
However, if you really love your congregation isn't it your primary duty to
encourage them (as independently thinking adults who are aware of DQ) to
stop attending church and find their own path towards the Good?
As such, maybe at the end of your last service/s you could hand out copies
of ZMM (or the "Tao Te Ching"?) to each member as a start in the right
direction? Or is this an Easter miracle too far?
Best wishes,
Anthony.
