Hi George "Ignoramus" Jempty,
A warm welcome to moq.org. I look forward to many contributions from
your refreshing voice. There are, as you've noticed, several on this site
who believe themselves to be more "evolved" than the rest of us. No
need to name them. You'll recognize the others soon enough. Be
assured, however, that there are some "hicks" here besides yourself
who question the conventional wisdom of "evolution by freaks" held dear
in the cold hearts of those with unquestioning faith in the assumptions
of scientism. In Christianity I find a great deal of Quality, especially in
the Christian inspired arts which can give those with open minds greater
insight into the basic morality of the world than a million metaphysical
words.
So be not reluctant to express your views, sarcastically or otherwise.
The MOQ opens its doors wide to all, hoping that somewhere beyond
the pointing fingers and pompous remarks, a momentary mystical flash
of DQ will occur. If you haven't been with us long, you may be surprised
that such flashes DO actually appear from time to time.
