unless you consider ancestor worship or something
they're compatible
and the values taught are very similar
there might be conflict between a "political church" and the confucian state though
Confucius makes you think. I'm very glad I've read him. His writings are smarter than Hitlers. At that time it was like dropping a nuclear bomb into philosophy.
because the loyalty is external
there are popes and patriarchs, that's why i mentioned the churches.
that's not entirely true
you're thinking about daoism
daoism is an ok belief
well
philosophy
its cringeworthy to see westerners practicing it
from what i know it boomed in the americas with the hippie movement
why is it cringey for themt o practice ... just curious
@Sorghagtani Beki some people in Soviet Union believed in communism instead of learning about it, went to see Lenin in 5 hours line, charged water with good wibes from TV.
because it's an ethnic religion - chinese think americans are fedoras
when they do it
In atheist country
its ethnic ? how so i dont know religion
it's not a religion, it's a philosophy
ok but why is it ethnic
because it's seen as a unique chinese thing
like pandas
but what makes its practice ethnic, are you basically whining about cultural appropriation at this point
but justifying it cause cringey etc, i used word ethnic
yes it's hilarious watching whiteboy pretend to be a genuine daoist scholar
like for example, Rastafarianism is like litterally ethnic
like but what about its teachings are ethnic
daoism? no, confucianism - yes
i don't like daoism
@Deleted User most American teach me about communism and the history of USSR if they have a chance. They know so much.
it's a very valid belief but
(sarcasm)
it doesn't fit me
@ghosty, it's exactly like what firefly just said
so you cant explain its teachings that are ethnic <.<
like you are talking about loud mouths, but you said originally "ethnic religion" then you said "no its a philosophy"
like you said the teaching itself was ethnic
there are posers for any human activity
