I believe in god but not God. I am probably closest to being a Christian (or maybe a Taoist), but I have a hard time with the way Christians think of God. For example, you are not supposed to use God’s name in vain, meanwhile the God of the Bible explicitly wishes to go unnamed, most of the words we have for God are ways of getting around having a name for god.(not using God’s name in vain then becomes not using the essence of what god is for your own personal gain, which to me makes a lot more sense)
People ask how Taoism and Christianity can be the same. Well, Taoism mean Way, the the Christian God also say “I am the Way”. God then becomes purpose. A path for us to follow. The thing that gives meaning to our consciousness. If you read the Tao Te Ching (which is amazing and only like 30 pages) you will start to see that this purpose is the same between both religions.
