Its been a while....
since my last blog about taoism.
I've been a pretty good little taoist for a while now. I discovered that today. There was a conversation going on today about it being '6/6/6' day(which involved a lot of bible talk), and I didn't bother interjecting. I just patiently waited for the conversation to be over so I could ask someone a question. Back in the day, I would have used the opportunity to challenge christian beliefs and blah blah blah. I don't care anymore.
At one point in the conversation, someone looked at me, expecting a challenging opinionated statement(because I used to do that stuff as an athiest), I just said "Hey, look, you know its all hokey to me, I just have a question for molly.".
The tao teaches us to be non-confrontational; that the best competition is non-competition; and all that you really need to do to win, is to avoid loosing. You can't argue matters of faith. There are those that believe that they are doing gods work, and creating a better world because of it...hey, that's cool. Then there are those like me, who are "teaching men to fish"(anecdotally speaking of course...I'd never physically harm a fish), we are also making the world a better place in our own way.
Below, when I talk about christians, I'm not talking about normal "live a good life" christians.(shout out to shayna and carl). I'm talking about the fanatical ones. The ones that truly believe that the point of being christian is to convert the world to their way of thinking. The ones who equate "taoism" with "satanism"(shout out to George effin Bush)
They're the ones trying to convince me that my soul is in some sort of danger, and that god is really mad about the fact that I'm "dissin" him by not giving him the "props" he deserves, and as a result of my disrespect, he's gonna show me what's what by busting my ass up for eternity in a bad bad place. Ya know, I'm cool with that, what with my new healthy lifestyle, I'm sure to live long enough to get a robot body and then I can live forever(in a strictly "the world must end someday" kind of forever).

Uh-oh, now Carl's going to tell you that he thinks your going to hell. But you're still going to be in my heaven. :-)
Hey, did you notice that Mom "blogged on you?"

I meant "you're" not "your." Stupid typo . . .

Oh that's just plain silly, I'm not going to hell, I'm going to Tokyo, wearing a giant robotic suit, with my brain attached by little wires. Then I will proceed to "burn the villages!" for all of time.
I noticed mom blogged on me.
