Good stuff. Taoism (as I understand it) is the only religion that`s ever made a lick of sense to me. Buddhism, however..... I worked with a Vietnamese lady who was devoutly Buddhist. Not only was she a vegetarian, she wouldn`t eat onions or garlic, claiming that they were "too strong" and that the spirits wouldn`t come close if her breath smelled like them.

That's wacky Buddhism. Hehe. Buddhism has so many levels. You can go from Zen Buddhism, which is basically philosophy, to wacky Buddhism, which is really devout.

I don't worship myself. I worship Rebecca, though. Does this make it Rebecca-ism?

Depends on how much you put into the word "worship." In that case, is Rebecca a Wong-ite? Your kids?

On the subject of worshipping, what do you call someone who think they are God? An autotheist? That sounds too much like a car part.

I don't care what you call me, just as long as you recognize me as God.
