    Steve,

    I like your little dialogue. It pretty well matches my thoughts on the typical a/theistic debates. I just have no real interest in them anymore, and most of the traditional answers don't do very well in capturing what I think. Speaking with the vulgar, I may say I'm an atheist, but I say it with grave misgivings.

    And when one says that the MoQ is atheistic, I think there is an important kernel of truth there, but the difficulty in using those traditional categories arises when you ponder Pirsig's assimilation of mysticism. I think it may be the same discomfort Buddhists have when they are described as atheists:

    "I guess so...."
