Bao Pu,

Thank you for the link. Very interesting reading. It is good to know that there are those in China that still hold to the Way of the Tao.

As far as demons and ghosts and angels and such, I believe there are such things. Can I prove it, no. Do I feel compelled to try, no.

On a less controversial note I will say that such things as greed, hate, lust, pettiness, racism, and such are like demons. Personal demons. Of course our tendency is to demonize others rather than deal with our own inner demons.

Butch
