Why I Love Taoism       Rev. Ernie Mills

As far I know Taoists have never persecuted, tortured or executed those who

disagree with their philosophy. There are no dogmas in Taoism nor do Taoist

philosophers engage in theological debates and discussions. They leave God

alone. Their philosophy is very simply, “follow the WAY and put your Self

in harmony with the natural universe” (small and large). Taoist philosophy

encourages us to embrace both the light and dark aspects of life (Yang and

Yin, male and female.) And finally, Taoism has never attempted to establish

itself on historical events, persons or places. As “local” as it may seem, its

roots are universal and eternal.
