Buddhism - Dualities exist, but are an illusion.

Taoism - Dualities exist, and should be taken in respect.

Duality - With fire, there must be water. With ugly, there must be beauty.

You cannot describe one without the other. If darkness didn't exist, then you cannot describe light.

Therefore... without a duality to God or the Divine, you cannot describe God.
