"Debate my sig" or "Daoism: A load of old Cobblers?"
At time of posting this thread it said this
"The Taoist sage has no ambitions, therefore he can never fail. He who never fails always succeeds. And he who always succeeds is all- powerful."
The following objection was raised by door on another thread
"Just because he never fails doesn't mean he always succeeds!
Does Santa clause ever fail? No. Does he always succeed? no. why is that? Cause he doesn't exist~!
Just like a Toaist sage, having no ambitions, has nothing that exists to either fail or succeed.
Its not either fail or suceed here."
Let me know your thoughts and I'll present my arguments when I've got a little more time.
