I am convinced of the principles of taoism (I don't believe in them). But for most of the people a "thing" like Tao is too abstract, so they invented Allah, God, Krishna and all these guys which was the beginning of a sad story...

Yes, and it's name is Tao. Ask Lao-Tzu.

In my opinion, religion was invented by man to control people by defining a supernatural power whose power and existence cannot be questioned. Defining in human terms is then inevitable. I simply do not find logic in any religion and it's faith that binds people to a particular religion.

There is and those that prescribe to it are called heathens.

Sometimes the answer is cosmic nonresponse. I'm in the collective conciousness realm at present, lacking hard data on which to form an opinion.

Hard data is hard to come by but opinions are not.

It seems Tao is path, way than creation. Creation is the essence for the being of God.

It's obviously unexplainable, but necessary. Imagine what it would be like if nothing existed!

Isn't one of the most ancient words for God essentially Nothing?
