but and so and but so Posted December 29, 2016 Hello there, I've been looking for a place to learn more about Daoism, and this forum seems like it might help on that front, so here I am. I'm a college student, I was Christian for the entirety of my childhood and a portion of my teenage years, and I am now an agnostic atheist, however Daoism seems interesting, so I've decided to learn more about it. I hope that's all right with you folks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted December 29, 2016 Hello but and so and but so, and welcome.  Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go.  Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started.  For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day.  Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you,  Marblehead and the TDB team   Hi so,  (I just couldn't find it in my heart to call you but.) Your youth sounds like mine. I just got tired of saying "I don't know." and acknowledged that I am an Atheist. Yes, you will find much help in getting started into Taoism. I suggest starting with just the philosophy and follow your heart from there.  You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.  May you enjoy your time here.  Marblehead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mvingon Posted December 30, 2016 Fine with me. Don't let anyone scare you away. We seem to be an opinionated and very diverse group. Sometimes, we could all be a bit more diplomatic, but I've found really good ideas, in almost everyone's posts, that I've had time, strength and energy to read. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
