   Daoism and Buddhism are packed choke-full with   
   caveats, in contradistinction to the realist and   
   literalist words (carved on stoned tablets) valid at   
   face value of Jewish mythology. The Raft, the   
   Fishnets, etc. (though Jewish mythology has a   
   great equivalent: "vanity of vanities", which the   
   followers of Jewish mythology often relegate to   
   disuse and fail to apply back to Jewish mythology).   
      
   Destroying the ground on which they stand is a   
   constant business of Daoists and Buddhists,   
   otherwise they would not be Daoists and Buddhists.
