Why do you believe in Taoism? I believe the Bible is right because God says so.
Hes also my: All in All, Santification, Redeemer, Friend, Co-heir, Wisdom, Strength, Tower of Refuge, and much much more.
Where does God say that? In the Bible? So the Bible is right because God says so in Bible? Bit of circular logic there isn't it? Do you have an another source?JesusIsTheWay said:
Because there is not a single contradiction in its teachings, and it makes sense to me. Buddhism for example would certainly support those criteria.JesusIsTheWay said:
I believe in no entity defining what's sinful or not. So, I'm free from sin.
Well, if you've gotta sin, at least see to that it's original. Much more fun than copy cat sins.
Where does god say so except for within the bible? You see the circular fallacy that surrounds your logic. Inevitably you believe the bible is right because the bible says so. There is no proveable evidence that god said anything. However, Taoism is proveable. There is no anthropomorphic god that may not exist, there is no savior that may not have existed, or done any miracles, there is no book that needs to be followed or believed in, there is no sins to be forgiven from, there is only life. And for those who have become one with Tao, peace. Why want for anything more?JesusIsTheWay said:
You call them sins, I call them human nature. Do I think they are right? Not necessarily, but I definitely do NOT believe them to be sinful in nature and needed to be saved from.
That's lovely. I feel bad that you put so much of yourself into a being that may not exist. But I allow you to have that belief. And I hope that your spiritual journey is blessed. All I wish is for the same in return. Thank you.
It's perfectly fine for superman to be your hero. But not your "All in All, Santification, Redeemer, Friend, Co-heir, Wisdom, Strength, Tower of Refuge, and much much more." And the same goes for this fictional god fellow people keep talking about.mr.guy said:
I think that would be a great comic. But didn't superman fight zeus back in the eighties? And lose? Or am I mistaken?mr.guy said:

Where are these "contradictions" in the Bible?
From the "original sin"almifkhar said:
Flying Spaghetti Monster fan obviously have not seen this thread yet
Tao is nature, the way nature works, the energy that makes up the universe, etc... There is no leap of faith needed to believe in an anthropomorphization.JesusIsTheWay said:
No, the correct term is human nature. No sin involved.
Honestly, ABSOLUTELY! Now that I don't have guilt from worrying about some original sin that I had absolutely nothing to do with, yes, I am fully at peace.
Jesus came so that people would stop fighting over technicalities and start living simply and peacefully. Death is not a choice, everyone dies. (birth should be illegal, no one has survived it yet
) I already told you why I don't think your god exists. There is no proveable evidence for it. Do you believe in Lupercus? If not, you will understand why I don't believe in yours.I don't need proof that god doesn't exist. That lack of evidence that he does is more than comprimising. I believe Taoism is the way because that is exactly what it means. HAHA! Tao literally means "The Way". It's such a simple philosophy, why anyone wouldn't undersand it, or agree with it is beyond me. Oh, and I believe everyone is a Taoist, they just get too confused and caught up in semantics to realize it.
Words are human creations. Imperfect, and fallable. How is that evidence for a perfect and infallable being? You believe every word is true, that's fine. But that means squat to someone who finds them to be false. What you experience is Tao, you just falsely attribute it to some being you wish to exist.
Wonderful. Now let's have some tea.
