Great point. The spread of Eastern mysticism works under the same guise. It portends to be superficially more appealing than Christianity for its self help inclusion but is simply indoctrination into the occult maze. Buddhists also have a left and right hand path. Monks masturbating in public transportation is a good example of this. They do not care if a thing is good or bad. Great thread, upvoat and tweeted.

I'm a Christian but yet a student of Taoist thinking. I don't think there's a contradiction: It's more of a philosophy than a religion. They are more concerned about health and living a long life, to eventually find personal meaning, is my take.

Of course Taoism has Yin/Yang theory. Everything has its opposite. The Yin/Yang symbol shows there's a little yin in the yang, and eventually yang changes to yin.

If your opposites are good/evil, it's not much as a guiding principle for morality: Good/bad are equally necessary and just two sides of the same thing! But the Chinese also had Confucianism, which is totally concerned about a code for morality and behavior towards others.

Wow, I like your description there "simply indoctrination into the occult maze".

Thanks. Appreciate the support.

If we're going to drain the swamp, we need to drain it all.
