No Taoism? That makes me a sad panda. Though I do actually treat it more as a philosophy than a religion. Still it's how I live my life.

Eh don't feel bad; he didn't have Buddhism or quite a few others in there at first...of course, since the OP feels that if any of the other religions could be proven right alongside his own his world would mean nothing.....maybe it's better he forget it.

Oh I don't blame anyone for not including in the list. The number of English-speaking Taoists is astronomically small, most of whom, like me, don't follow the actual folk religion. I just think it would be cool to see if someone else in the small world happened to like Wowhead too.

I'd have to disagree. I certainly do class Taoism as a religion. It's just gotten so mixed up with Buddhism these days but it's quite different. I love the stories.

So question here: Why does everyone think that a pentacle(my current icon) has something to do with the
Satanic pentagram
? I mean, really; those are always reversed, and rarely, if ever, have the circle surrounding them....
/sigh Nothing like walking down a street, and having idiots call me a satanist cause they see the pentacle *grumble*, especially the two I wear: One is the symbol of fire entwined around the pentacle, which is my birth element(Sagittarius is a fire sign), and the other one is meant to be a symbol of protection; don't know if it really works, but I have noticed while wearing it, I don't have as many accidents as I used to.

Not sure what country you're in, Adamsm, but in the United States the ignorance of many Christians regarding the existence of ANY other religions in the world would probably account for it. :)

I bought a
wrist
that supposedly helps the blood circulation. Not because I needed it, just because it looks cool. I hardly believe it works, but I wear it anyway.
The thing is, you just need to believe in it for it to work. I'm not gonna compare that with anything, but I remind you on which thread we are. Just believe.

I do believe it works, but it's symbol of what I do believe in.

Many christians don't differentiate between Satanism, Paganism, Wicca, etc. It's all the same to them.

I say next time some punks start shouting you stuff about satanism while wearing that shirt, you should shout back: "Shut up racists, can't you see I'm jew?" They won't find teasing jews funny. It's so last century.

I never said it wasn't a religion. I just don't treat it as such. I think folk religion can be very important for people, but I'm not part of the culture, so it is not very important to me.

Had to Google that lol. I think most people probably wouldn't get it either.
Yup, ditto. Had no idea what it was.
