I don't understand why you would ask what qualifies me to make that decision.
As GAW-Snow has pointed out, you know nothing about Taoism, so how are you qualified to choose another religion in its place?
What qualifies me to vote in a particular way?
Voting is a
collective decision. Your vote is not solely responsible for the decision.
What if you vote for the "wrong" party? So what? But if you choose the wrong god(s)....
I certainly am in a position to make a more informed position if I am educated about the choices available.
But you
don't get that education in school.
There is a place in our schools for teaching how the government works, etc. But our schools don't tell us what political choices are available, do they? That's the role of the media.
Similarly, our schools should not tell us what religious choices are available. That's the role of the church and the home.
If politics or religion find their way into the schools, it is inevitable that some viewpoints will be left out. If some choices are left off the ballot, how does that make you more informed?
People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.
