Time to kick the wasps' nest...
Since faith is what people tend to fall back on
when they have substantial doubt, can't think
/understand past a certain point, and are not
comfortable with the implications of that state,
then (changing your example slightly) using the
PRINCIPLES of the MoQ to guide decisions is not
faith, but conscious choice instead.
Of course in a SOM society it is the fastest way
to incite one's own removal from office fastest.
(probably with a non-approved strategy for
administration change) Lots of embedded
investment in SOM...
Quality, expressed as attributes of being is in
large measure apprehensible, faith is not needed.
Revealed truth, cloaked in miracle, wrapped in
dogma, encysted in bureaucracy, ossified in
social teaching requires faith to keep the original
flicker alight.
thanks--mel

Subject: MD On Faith
Kerry pressed his attack on the president's record in new television ads, while on the campaign trail he sought to strike a more inspirational tone, saying in a speech on faith that values he practices as a Roman Catholic "will guide me as president."
What if he said that "values that he practices as an MOQer will guide me as president". Is that faith, why or why not? ( I am not asking the difference between RC and MOQ---I just want to know why using MoQ is/ is not faith in quality). Answer this as if I was skeptic of MOQ.
