God or Tao?
What's the difference between God and the Tao? Which do you think is more believable?

To me, they're just slightly different ways of conceptualizing the same mystery. "God" is a more personified concept that lends itself to a vision of existence based on love and gratitude. While the tao is a more comprehensive and inclusive vision of the "flow of existence" that brings me to a timeless peace.

It seems to me God is something that thinks while the Tao is not. Is that a fair distinction?
