Clarification of Intent:

Hi Ulrick. Sorry that continue to misunderstand my intent and meaning. Maybe there is a language problem here but not sure. Anyway let me attempt to make it clear to you once more:

I am not part of a religious system so no need to "shiver" over the thought as you said. If people want religion that is fine with me, although not for me. No need to make negative response over a system of belief that half the world enjoys. This is very arrogant. As I said, I am a PHILOSOPHICAL TAOIST. Philosophy has very different meaning from religion.

Second, the point I try to make in the post that I corrected had to do with SAMENESS of idea between God, Soul, Consciousness, etc. All things originate from the ONE and then differentiate and take on unique appearances. Yin and Yang are different in energy qualities but are one unit. Same with love/hate, dark/light, life/death, no/yes, negative/positive, etc. DIFFERENT but from SAME ONE. That is the point. I was not trying to be "cute" in making this point. You are in error to attempt to give a differnt meaning to my intent. PLEASE understand this and do NOT try to change the meaning of my intent.

Also, believing in and living for balance in the world while following the path of least resistance has nothing to do with being "opportunistic", not does it infer "personal disadvantages"
as you stated. Again good/bad, advantage/disadvantage are two sides of the one which cannot exist separately. You should read more about philosphical Taoism before making judment, criticism. I find it overly ethno-centric when people juge others beliefs based on their own limited experience. No need to over-analyize personal beliefs. You made your points and told of your beliefs and no one has made any shivering remarks.

I hope I have made myself clear this time Ulrich. I am quite content with my belief system. I continue to urge others to post their personal views without others taking pot shots at them.

In peace, Roy
