Sorry, couldn't help myself.
I understand what you mean about making god seem less than he is. I agree with it whole heartedly. He is also our father. You are right, he feels pain as well as happiness. We must never lose sight of this.
Sorry, I don't know anything about the Taoistic or the Buddhist affects on Hung Gar itself.
Again, sorry, I do that a lot. So I just say, brother of Kung Fu?
