>first of all, taoists have no god or gods.

This is a touchy subject. Many Taoist denominations *do* have several Gods and/or Spirits. This is, however, a deviation from the Tao Te Ching.

HOWEVER, the following statement could be made that (I'll debate) does not interfere/deviate from Lao Tzu...*IF* there is a God (and the question is an If, cuz a Taoist such as Lao Tzu wouldn't care so much as say, a Christian would), Good and Evil would yes, both still exist, because they are the same thing.

God cannot break the laws of Tao, because He/She comes from Tao. He/She might have created the Universe but even the Universe bows to the laws of Tao. This is not to mean that God is not Omnimpotent, because really, Omnimpotence does not exist. It cannot. Neither can a purely "Good" Universe, nor a truly "Evil" Universe. The issue of Omnipotence, for a Taoist, is a silly debate. If anything, one becomes "all powerfull" by working with and in accordance to the Tao. This is all that "God" does. "All powerful" does not mean being able to break Tao, but rather, being able to not disturb and work with Tao. And that means the existence of Good/Evil.
