Tao Bible - Ecclesiastes 5:6

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
~ King James version ~

You can't strike a bargain with Tao.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Unlike the Christian belief in a being that humans can have a conversation with, Tao is deaf, dumb and mute. You can make promises to Tao, but there is nothing there to hear it. You can try to bargain for your soul, but there is nothing there to bargain with. You can pray your little heart out, but no one is listening.

Tao is always available, yet never present.
