That's true apophenia, and I confess that this is one area where I personally have difficulty with accepting philosophies like Taoism too literally.
If you're were a German in Nazi Germany should you "go with the flow" to persecute Jews and contribute to trying to conquer and enslave the entire world?
If you live in the buckle of the Bible Belt should you "go with the flow" and become a highly zealous Christian bigot and support that mentality?
These kinds of concerns do cause one to question precisely what is meant by "flow with the Tao". Is that basically the same thing as "When in Rome do as the Romans do?"
I personally feel that it should be taken in a different light. And I'll confess that it's not easy to decide precisely what it should mean exactly.
But then again, if the secular atheists are right it doesn't truly mean anything. It's just philosophical mumbo jumbo spouted by mere spiritless mortal men who will soon perish and may as well have never existed at all.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
