Tao Bible - Isaiah 37:36

Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
~ King James version ~

The great Tao flows everywhere, both to the left and to the right.
The ten thousand things depend upon it; it holds nothing back.
It fulfills its purpose silently and makes no claim.
~ from Verse 34 of the Tao Te Ching ~
The God of the Bible both is a giver AND taker of life. Get on his bad side and he just might wipe you out!

Tao, on the other hand, is the nourisher of life. You can't get on Tao's bad side because Tao is impartial -- beyond good and bad. While all things die, it is not because Tao is out to get you for some perceived sin; life and death are natural components of this realm of existence.
