He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.I suppose the Biblical injunction pivots on the definition of "the law." If Solomon means external laws (including religious ones), then I think that most Taoists would not agree. On the other hand, if Solomon means the laws of God -- for the Taoist, the laws of nature -- then we might find some limited agreement.
