Would have been better if you would have waited with all of the correct answers... Less fun, because no one else need answer.

The irony is that we take the concept of taoism from Lao Tzu and he probably would've been the first to discourage thinking of yourself as one. He was all about personal freedom and not allowing labels to define who and what you are. You simply are, which means you don't have to be a Taoist or anything else, just who you are right here and now.

If there is anything that I've noticed about Chidragon on this forum, it is that he is very pretentious. Most if not all the time he will ask you "questions" that he already supposes knowing the answers to. And when everyone gives their answers, he will tell you that you are wrong and then will give his own answer. In short, these questions are made not because he is actually interested in anything you have to say, but rather, so that he can show off whatever supposed knowledge that he already thinks he has.

What if I said that I think I'm a taoist because I don't think I'm a taoist?

In that case, you are not a Taoist....

Actually, by definition we all are Taoists. However, that does not mean to suggest that we all follow the Way of Tao.

What is your definition of Taoist...???

What are the Chinese characters for Jin Dan Jiao(教).....???? Can anyone help me to translate them...???

If the this character was used Jiao(教), then it is definitely a Taoist sect.

What is your definition of Taoist...???

A person who walks the path (as much as possible) of the Way of Tao and follows the teachings (as much as possible) within the TTC.

Yes, that is a Taoist in the philosophy category. May I ask..??? Do you consider to look for the first quality of a Taoist is a good temperament.....???
