Taoism

Recommended Posts

Greetings!

 

My name is Tony. My online alias is SecularFuture. When I was a Buddhist I went by MettaFuture.

 

When I was 13, I ruled out the god idea. It didn't make much sense, scientifically or emotionally, so I became an atheist.

 

To add a little color to my atheism, I dabbled in various philosophies. I called myself a Secular Humanist for a few years, and a Theravada Buddhist for about 3 years. Today, I've finally found a philosophy that's compatible with my pantheistic and liberal leanings.

 

Unlike some of the other religions that I experimented with, Taoism doesn't have any hangups about the material world or sexuality, it's not bogged down by a bunch of lists, rules, and terminology, and the purpose of Taoism is very direct and simple - to live in harmony with the Tao (or nature).

 

Thanks for making a forum for us Tao Bums. :P

 

I look forward to contributing.

 

Tony
