Eighty Percent of Chinese are Taoist?

What is Taoism or a Taoist?

Worship of the belief system of Tau?  The Tau were indeed highly respected.

So I read that description and I still don't get it?  The best synopsis I can come away with is:

"Living in harmony with everything that exists?"

So if 80% are of that religion why are they acting diametrically opposed to it by polluting?

That is the definition of scatterbrain or hypocrite?

So indeed their actions prove them to be hypocrites.

Does that mean that they could turn on the U.S. some day and be a major major threat to us?  Isn't that exactly what a hypocrite is?

"Living in harmony with everything."  What in fact does that equate to on an individual personal level in China?  Passivity.  It really means passivity.

So what happens when they have problems over there?  Whatever national anger arises it will be directed at the U.S.?  When the steam blows the boiler head off of that passivity?

Do you get the real form of Government?

1.  Oppress the people for a very long time.
2.  When you can no longer oppress them blame their problems on a foreign nation and send them off to war.
3.  Why?  In the name of nationalism.  Which really means maintaining the status of the oppressive regime.


Lets say that there is a worldwide nuclear holocaust.

What religion are we all going to be practicing by default?  "Living in harmony with everything?"  Because there wouldn't be very much of anything good left?

*****'

So a Chinese woman smokes cigarettes like a fiend.  She ends up losing her breasts to breast cancer.  She is already of the right religion for that isn't she?  Living in harmony with everything she has left?

If your religion is living in harmony with everything then by definition you would not be a smoker?  Because you would already be in harmony with everything you wouldn't need to smoke.

So there is the contradiction that is also the answer.  Because you weren't really living in harmony because you smoked it means that you were not truly believing in your very own religion.

So what is the errant belief system there?  That no matter what I do in life it is naturally made to be in harmony with me?

It is one of those top down concepts that doesn't work for the person on the lowest ladder rung of it.  Which is the 80% that worship as Taoist.

It works great for the person preaching it but is less than meaningless in terms of the people who believe in it without questioning what it means to believe in it.

To not only be told to believe in something but also be mal-informed with what it really means to have that belief system.  In is another guised incarnation of rule by Divine Right.
