A cheat sheet to defend Christianity, here's four questions for you... if you have faith, why do you need evidence to reaffirm your beliefs? Why is it that Christianity has adapted to function alongside science and not vice versa? Why did God create humanity, if in genesis he said he wished he never had? And, how did Moses write about his own death?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@MarkSeiler as a Christian I don't need evidence, The Bible is all the evidence I need. And what you said about science is the exact opposite science has to keep up with the revelations that the Bible told us about thousands of years ago but you probably didn't know that if you don't study the Bible.

Oh my gosh 🤣🤣🤣 There couldn't have been a better comment than the one you made! Brilliant 😂

My goodness you know far too much. Love this daoist humour 😅

Your mind operates in the 4th dimension 🤣

like taoist would do

The Dao means not to resist natural responsibility, except your circumstances and make the best decisions based on your circumstances. Nazis are not natural by any degree. He didn't exit the Dao because he didn't support Nazis. Alot people didn't pay attention.

Haha yes

As it is said, the Tao is that which you cannot escape lol

he did not resist

Was that supposed to sound clever?

Agreed, ideally we should discuss these subjects to come to a better understanding of truth but it seems most are just interested in "winning"

Well, the daoism presented by the young man was not actually daoism, it was the usual hippy-dippy "one with nature" spiritualism given a Chinese flavoring to feel exotic. Of which the old man has probably debated many times and is familiar with. He was right to poke holes in the young man's logic, else he'd continue to misrepresent daoist philosophy and do both social and academic damage to the practice as a whole.

​@@MaitlandJoneshe's not damaging it by any means. The guys argument was terrible and predictable. The kid's still young and learning, don't be so dismissive.

That's bigotry, also not in line with the Dao.

​@@y0k0z00naI'm no daoist so I can tell you - *bro stfu you sound dumb*

Exactly, the answer he gave is correct according to the teachings because one would naturally defend his home

Thank you. With an understanding of Taoism it’s difficult for me to understand how people genuinely think this is a “gotcha”.

How do determine what an obsticle is without knowing what you destination or goal is? What is the ultimate goal of Taoism? Person happiness? Selflessness? Immortality? Survival?

@@johnsmith2797 The point of the tao is nothing. There's no beginning or end, there's no set goal. Like nature has no goals, no final destination. It is just is... living in it natural form, whatever that might be. Goals assume destination, but daoist believe in something that would be similar to an interpretive dance: you're not going any where, there's no accomplishment after it, you dont exactly know where youd be during it. You dont care, the point of the dance is just dancing. "Obstacle" is what you want it to be innately that you want to overcome, if it something that you feel like it's not in your innate being, then dont bother with it

@@johnsmith2797 It seems like the most fascinating paradox of taoism, but the beautiful thing is that it isn't. We come into this universe as human animals and leave as defined egos. Every individual ego is different, molded from their upbringing, country, parents, culture. I could have been born to different parent and have a completely different ego and not be writing this comment, but here we are. So, to address question in the video: There is NO moral code in taoism. NONE. Every individual ego decides their own code which is molded from their ego as I described. The strength of our code is a testament to the strength of our spiritual self. Our dominance of our spiritual self over our animal duality. An animal would not light themselves on fire, and yet Thích Quảng Đức, a Buddhist monk, lit himself on fire in a town square in Vietnam to protest the governments oppression of his people. His code was like iron. Taoism is unique in that it refers to all of humanity regardless of their religious orientation. A Buddhist, priest, rabbi, or your local gas station clerk could be spiritually awakened. The Tao or the universe, is also unfair, chaotic, and random. It might take the life of an innocent child by a freak accident, murderers and rapists exist too. Bad people exist in the Tao, the point is that you must follow your own divine destiny in spite of the others whatever that may be. Peace to you John.

Well said, I think the kid is still just a beginner, we all were at one point. He hasn’t reached the point where he can have intellectual debates about this stuff. I hope the ignorance of this old man didn’t throw him off to much. Because I think one of the biggest points of Taoism is throwing away the concept of ideas. Examples being: Good or Evil, Better or worse, useful or useless. That’s why the master leads by emptying people’s minds. I think both of them haven’t gotten there yet.

​@@SwectoriousI don't know if the kid fully understands taoism, or if he was just nervous and put on the spot. But defending yourself is also a part of nature, and taoism acknowledges that weapons are useful tools, but that war is a terrible thing and they should be used as last resorts.

@salvas7376 Very true

One of the key concepts in Taoism is that of a boundaryless universe, at the highest level of which self and ego disappear. It is in fact impossible _not_ to go with the flow, since you yourself are part of the flow!

Good kid by the sound of it

This isn’t Taoism though. This is just accepting a new idea when you’re presented with new information. Which is a natural thing humans do.

@@joshuakohlmann9731 So Hilter was a part of the universal flow? And communist leaders with legal sweat shops? There’s no moral standard here which is disturbing and I think the point the speaker is trying to make. Everything is justifiable because “they’re going with the flow”? And in this Taoist thought there’s no clear outline of what’s right and wrong. It’s about the self and what someone is feeling at the moment. It’s just wrong.

Best comment

Daoism doesn't drop morals. Going with the flow of the universe does not mean going with the flow of the nazis. lol. If you are going with the flow, and the universe presents you with nazis, the flow may present you with other people resisting nazis or all the right information for you to be able to act upon to resist, to which is the path of least resistance for you to flow with. The flow of the universe doesn't disregard you, your life, your likes and dislikes, needs, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings. I've encountered this myself, actually. Sometimes the path of least resistance has been the path of most resistance for governments (ego and collective ego), attorneys, and boots in your face. If the government is trying to take away your humanity and very presence, the only choice left is to be so dang human and daoist, there is no other option left for them. The would rather weaponize their codes and statutes against my presence, so be it. I accept they may commit violence and even try to murder me for insisting on flowing with them as myself. There can be no other way.

Sometimes the "low ground" for the water to flow into is a rival kingdom. One of the greatest students of Sun-Tzu was Cao Cao.

Thanks for explaining. Sounds very interesting. I am Catholic myself. I love hearing about other religions. So cool. I think whatever way someone find God and bring structure and good morals into their life is absolutely beautiful

🎯

Really? Cause it seemed like a young kid who has been playful with what is a new idea to him (Taoism) was seeking clarification with someone who thinks differently and he realized he had never thought of the glaring counter example. Or perhaps the "Tao" is for him to listen to his elder and become a Christian? Would that not be out of the realm of possibility here?

@@lucioloco4062 A true Taoist would not in fact go with the Nazi party, Taoist people "Go with the flow" But are not morally fucked like that. It's about not resisting what life throws at you, i.e. not fighting the hardships that come, but instead seeing what you can learn from them.

He was conned. By a Con Man. The ART of War is Taoism!!

Exactly, as I understand it a Daoist approach to the Nazis would essentially be one of resistance in the sense that the error in thier ways is recognized but also non-violent and leading by example of how we should live. Much like Ghandi or MLK. The speaker at the event (don't know who he is) is right for discussing how various philosophies would approach the Nazis, but I think his mistake is he seems the type to say "without objective morality then people are just gonna do whatever they want and kill each other". People look for certainty and order and in trying to make sense of things we create these catagories and rules that aren't really there. Best book I've read on this particular issue is Simone de Beauvoir's "The Ethics of Ambiguity"

You butchered it to say the man of war prefers the right. This is a misleading translation. I will post the original. Fine weapons are implements of ill omen: people may despise them, so those with the Way do not dwell with them. Therefore the place of honor for the cultured is on the left, while the honored place for the martialist is on the right.

Repent of your sins and believe on Adonai Jesus Christ, believe in your heart that He has died for sins and rose from the tomb on the third day and let the Holy Spirit within you, and you shall be saved. - Jesus the Christ loves you, praise YHWH our Elohim - Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the tomb (He rose from it): The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the tomb. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the tomb and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote: “Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…” In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative. Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians: “They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.” This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man. You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes: “About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.” Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for the Adon Jesus the Christ.

@gussafara thank you, I strive to come back to reading the book after months of development, & each time find a deeper understanding that I didn't prior recognize My kitten suddenly passed away last month and the tao taught me to trust the path; so I turned the tragedy into gifts & since then have become receptive to hearing/speaking to her, which in turn has opened me up to connecting with the spirit realm, which doubled me down on appreciating & trusting life's flow - easing my military/childhood PTSD mind and manifesting a more loving/understanding relationship with my dog, strangers, & even those who capitulate climate/socioeconomic/patriarchal disaster We are all doing the best we can with our limited consciousness at hand, so my most effective mental health treatment as a social revolutionary was to simultaneously speak up when I feel called, but make peace with the potential probability of earth's 6th mass extinction exacerbated by the hands of those led into greed by their unconscious minds If we might all die tomorrow, I'll do what I can to stop it. If we will all die tomorrow, I'll make peace with it & envision what fractals of consciousness we will next reincarnate as

@BS-cc4ks what a silly thing to say, what horrific event happened before the rise of mankind? Who's to judge what is or isn't horrific? Is it horrific for predator to hunt prey in the wild? What if the prey was a plant? Or the hunter a plant, prey a drop of water, sunray, or soil nutrient? What if the prey was thousands of cattle caged & fattened for slaughter by predators that don't care to learn where their steak dinner came from? If we're going to apply polarity of horrific, I'd call it horrific the actions of mankind to separate themselves from the natural hunt to instead strive for money while deeming earth as just resources How many resources were extracted from earth by impoverished hands just to create your phone?

@@ranewanders8147 Well put. I can't relate to the Military PTSD but in the past year alone I have lost a friend who was like a brother to me, one of my uni friends passed away and we were at bad terms and he needed help but I did not comply, family went broke couldn't afford law school despite being in my final year, lost my father, and had to break up with my girlfriend who I was supposed to marry all while at 22. I hadn't smiled for a few months after all that happened. It's been the toughest year and I think moving forward nothing will ever be as hard as this year for me. But I have also never been so content with myself, spiritually awakened, or even this motivated. All i need is my degree to set myself up again or any opportunity. But Daoism and many other things have kept me standing, providing for my family in any means necessary. I just say keep fighting the good fight brother, and I am sure one day we will have our solace.

The speaker is the Christian Frank Turek and he's known for lying. Both here don't understand Taoism, which had a huge impact on Chinese military history -- even Sun Tzu stated that the ideal general is an enlightened Taoism master. The young guy was naive in thinking that a Christian, which is impelled by his scripture to convert others, would have his best interests in mind. Nevermind that the Bible condones perpetual slavery, even of children, and the killing of unbelievers -- nor that the Cath Church were the biggest supporters of Nazi Germany. The Christian spotted a gullible young man and grabbed him. Interestingly enough, the ancient Greek Celsus spoke about this when observing the earliest Christians preaching: they would only go for the ignorant and disabled and throughly avoided the bright and learned because those were anathema to their BS.

🔥💯👍😎✌️

These fellows have an inherent bias to prove christianity as great. Tao is he greatest standpoint. There have even been warriors who were disciples of Lao Tzu. It is a receptive approach to life. If some want to oppress another, they are unnatural, mentally pathological, anti-life. Tao is not supporting any anti-life pathological behavior. Humans have to rise higher in their humanity More humane. Gentle, fearless, serene, spontaneous and responsive. Capable of fighting and protecting ur dignity and freedom when required. Tao is not even against science. Christianity was never a friend to science. The renaissance was a rebellion against christianity. All the tech, scientific knowledge, and social equality and rights are works of those who ventured to explore truth and creativity. Not by some religion telling them 'this is how it is' Busshism could merge with Tao to give birth to Zen. Zen is a freedom to explore, to quest, to rebel, to be creative, natural, serene, gentle and loving. Just live as alert, mindful in each moment, committed to ur act. Self aware. And vibe with those who also create a life as such. Relax. Accept ur body. Observe life. Respect the life thriving in this vst universe. Live simple. Light hearted. Contribute to the world with ur intelligence, abilities, ur humane qualities. Religions as such, especially the politically charged ones today, have no such contribution, no such standpoint.

Because he agrees with you?

Does this mean that Taoism is never arguing or even explaining your views very well? Cause it sounds like like not even bothering to show up would have been more "Tao".

He's getting there@@BecomeUncancellable

Intellectual integrity is rare... his ASD is a likely reason he cannot be intellectually dishonest

He practice what he preach😂
