Question

Are there any tall handsome Taoist's in the US?

Answer 1

Kinda makes you wonder why taoism isn't the majority religion, doesn't it?

Answer 2

It made it a very popular religion in the time :)

Answer 3

Well, since orgasms are called "the little death", perhaps they're just dying and being resurrected... frequently.

Answer 4

Almost makes me want to convert.  For the s*x part, not so much the immortality.

Answer 5

Not all Taoists believed this.  Some believe the exact opposite, that by spilling their 'seed' needlessy, they were making themselves less and further from the enlightened state required to achieve immortality.

Taoism is a very complex belief system with literally thousands of different view points.  To some, it is a religious belief.  To others, it is not.  Some combine it with Bhuddism.  Some combine it with Confucianism.

I studied Taoism as a part of a Chinese cultural class earlier this year.  Taoism is even more complex than Christianity.
