Why?

Throughout the Western world, there are many who have adopted the Eastern practice of taoism, as an alternative to Christianity.
Many are atheists. Many are emotion-driven. Many are politically-motivated. Most of these lean heavily to the left.
Thus by-passing the most fundamental tenet of taoism: It is all about Balance.

To call yourself a "taoist" carries a responsibility.
To not misrepresent an ancient "Way" to suit one's own ego, or political stance.
There being, so many, so guilty of this, is the sole reason for the existence of this site.

Claiming to be something, requires you to be what you claim to be.
Not merely to claim it.

Not Toeism.

One may become obsessed with studying one's toes, and this is the nature of toeism.
But one's toe is only a small part of the whole.
One must see oneself as a whole. And the whole is not just oneself, but one's life within the whole cosmos. And if you expected to find wisdom here, then you might. But you'll have to sift through the zany humour, to find it.
Taoism is: the rejection of toeism.
Taoism is not: toeism.
