Elliot:
Well, Daoism has lots of practices and non-MoQ beliefs (like eating murcury
sulfide to gain immortality). Taoism has some great aspects (mysticism) but
some dated ones also. What is great about the MoQ and what is great about
daoism may be the same thing (mystical understanding), but the two are not
the same. Addition is too simple for this.
the great parts of chritianity, buddhism, native american religions and post
modernism align with the MoQ also, but they are not the MoQ plus or minus
something.
