The Church has "Bob".  Does Taoism have "Bob"?

I didn't think so.

So just shut up.  All of you.

You didn't give us a chance to answer.

In short, yes, Tao does not have "Bob". But "Bob" has Tao.

Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Actually, he's about as anti-Tao as you can possibly get.

"Middle of the road" my ass...The only thing about "Bob" that's middle of the road is the hoodpiece on his Toronado, while he's drunkenly driving back to the motel with Suzy Rottencrotch.

Yeah, it's a decent read, there are heaps of versions on the internet, I personally have a copy translated by John C. H. Wu, not one of my favourate translations though.
I'm not going to give you a "recommendation" as to which translator to get, they all see the Tao in their own way, due to it's ambigious nature as well, it translates slightly differently depending on the translator. None of them are neccessarily wrong, but sometimes I have to wonder if certain translations are really what the Lao Tsu had in mind if he were to ever translate it to english.

I say, go read a few different versions, it's not a long read, its like 81 chapters, each chapter a page long, not even that actually, you could read it in about an hour, max.

Isn't "Bob's" Path of Least Resistance,Ñ¢ very similar to Taoism's "wu-wei"?

I like the old line yutang translation, personally.
One by one, we break the sheep from their Iron Bar Prisons and expand their imaginations, make them think for themselves. In turn, they break more from their prisons. Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors. They are the future of Discordianism. Let us guide our future with intelligence.

Good Sir, I do believe its because the quality of my posts are very shallow and little.
Your posts have much more thought put into them, and therefore are of quality.

and yeah, 200 posts being flamed :D

No.  "Bob's" path of Least Intelligence,Ñ¢ relies on tilting the luck plane.

Taoism can't do that.
