MegaTherion777 Digital Malevolence lotusvoid MegaTherion777 lotusvoid well. the philosophy of tao is all about compassion, peace, and non-action. being calm and serene. metal on the other hand..... well you know. yes i do know. metal on the other hand is totally ******** awesome and completely compatible with taoism. and it's not "non-action" but rather "effortless action" though the former is the common translation. the taoist does not sit like a lump, but takes action naturally, spontaneously, and with a minimum of effort. hmm. I see I have a rather flat and substandard view of taoism. I brushed it only lightly in my hobbies. (I have an avid interest in understanding the ideologies that fuel some people, religious history and such. anywho, I must go and learn what it really is to be taoist if I am to fully make fun of you redface xp I do that too, although I haven't looked into Toa yet. I dislike orginized religion, so I learn as much as I can so I have something to back up my dislike. taoism is highly decentralized, so it should be hard to find something organized enough to dislike rofl Just the fact that it has a name is enough to make me hate it. I take parts of all different religions and form them into my own beliefs.

Isn't a prequalifying hatred of all organized religion sort of its own belief system, albeit more philosophically tinged than religious?

I'll look into it and get back to you on it.

My Hollow lotusvoid YAY I WIN!!!1!!1! *struts around your land and takes women, and such other conquering activities* The word you were looking for was: Pillage Thanks for playing, we really enjoyed you on the show. Please, come again next time! no, I meant conquering. I used the word pillage, if you look, to refer to taking all their goodies. however pillaging does not imply that you conquered, merely that you came through in war and took all their cheetos and suchlike. what I wanted to say in this instance was in fact conquer, which means win, take their stuff, land, religion, government AND nationality. Yes, you can steal nationality, or destroy/ corrupt, whichever word you prefer. the words you would be looking for are Cultural diffusion.
