Divine ambrosia

Or rather, a wrong impression for you to get. My position on the Christian God, since the subject is broached, is this: If the Christian God were as they say he is, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, etc. and so on and so forth, he certainly would not need any messenger to spread the word for him.

And he certainly wouldn’t need anyone to start any wars in his name and wouldn’t be fighting with any other religions in the world.

I mean, if the Christian God were a Taoist, he would not have needed any of this fuss. You know, as Lao Tzu observes: As winter advances it morphs seamlessly into spring. Ice begins to thaw, trees to bud and soon flowers bloom. The Great Tao does nothing and yet, this is the best part, leaves nothing undone.

In short, read your Homers and Roman histories. Read them if you want to master the English language and, more importantly, if your want to understand the Western psyche.

On the other hand, I ask the Westerner to read the Chinese classics, too – that’s where all our idioms and maxims come from – so that they can learn, among other things, about our feudal history and have an idea or two about why our people and politics are the way they are today.
