Not really a religion, but I feel this section could use something other than irate atheists battling ornery Christians.
Taoism (pronounced dowism) is a Chinese philosophy that was adopted around the 6th century BCE. Lao Tzu (sometimes spelled Lao Tse), the author of the Tao Te Ching (pronounced Dow Day Jing), is the figurehead of Taoism. In the Tao Te Ching, he lays out a moral code.
Some examples:
The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.
One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him.
To know that you do not know is the best. To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease.
He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know.
In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one acts accordingly.
Enjoy!
