I learned that that the Taoism way of viewing gods is very pantheistic. They believe that everything can be a god. Also that they are a lot like Stoics. They sit around in a relaxed manner and discuss philosophy and new ways of thinking. The Taoists also believe in reincarnation. This is the idea that when people die they come back in a different form. Taoists won't even kill a bug for fear that it could be one of their ancestors.
Being a Christian i know that reincarnation is wrong because when i die i know I'm going to heaven. All you know when your a Taoist is that you will come back as something else. To me the Taoist lifestyle fits the phrase" carpe dium" or cease the day because what they do doing their life doesn't mattter. In their next life they have a second chance. Also I have noticed that they are looking for a balence. This is where we get the symbol of the ying and the yang.
