I have one final question and I will be done picking your brain. I notice your Avatar is a Japanese shindin also called a honden they are all named and the one in your avatar has the meishō shōgō of the one named Osaka-gokoku-jinja being built of only the torii and haiden.

Now for the question: Is there a relationship between Shintoism and Taoism or is your Avatar simply a coincidence?

I am a Shintoist and Taoist. I am waiting for the admin to change my thing to both.

I see.

Thank you for answering my questions.

As for changing your Belief preference, it will take somebody with more knowledge then I have to change it so it shows both belief systems. I think I can change it for one or the other, but I am too hard headed to figure out how to get it to do both.

Just my opinion but I think it is best if you have it as just one or the other and explain in posts such as you just did that you follow both.

Your Welcome.

I asked eHafiz, he said he would work on it, although it has been sometime since then...

Not really. I believe both equally, and too not show both, is confusing too many. Like it was just now.

I can understand your desire to show both. I was similar a long time back when I was an agnostic but considered my self to be a Buddhist who retained a lot of Christian beliefs and practices. I think back then I would have liked to have been called a Buddhist-Christian.

It took many years but I finally found that Islam was the answer to my thoughts and beliefs. I finally realized I was born Muslim, it only took me 65 years to accept that as fact.

Well, it took me 15 years to realize I was a follower of these two.

I must say it is an interesting choice. I can see how a Taoist would have no problem with Shintoism, but I can not contemplate how a Shinto could resolve the differences with Taoism.

PM if you want, but we have went too far in this thread I believe.

Ways you have had attempt conversions?

i dont really attempt to convert people tbh as i know it isnt in my hands. i try fix my manners and consideration towards others, have the proper knowledge of what im speaking about and be firm in what i believe. sometimes i feel it's necessary to present Islam to them in a way i may feel would appeal to them (if i know them well enough), so i may attempt that.....if i implement the aforementioned, then i believe the rest will follow, if allah wills. It is up to Allah to change the hearts.

so in other words, i just concentrate on what I personally need to do with myself first and not worry about how they may react to it.

Do Taoists worship Tao or is Tao more like a state of mind similar to Zen?

Neither is "a state of mind"! At least no more than 'God' is. All three could only possibly be considered that from an outside perspective.
