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.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!
~ 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 ~
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.
