THE ANCIENT TAOIST PRINCIPLE OF RECIPROCITY
IF YOU DO ME A FAVOR, I WILL RETURN A GREATER FAVOR TO YOU BUT IF YOU HURT ME, I WILL NOT OFFER THE OTHER CHEEK. IF YOU INSULT ME, I WILL PUNCH YOU; IF YOU PUNCH ME, I WILL BREAK YOUR ARM; IF YOU BREAK MY ARM, I WILL BREAK YOUR LEG; AND IF YOU BREAK MY LEG, I WILL PUT YOU IN A COFFIN

Jesus Christ In Taoist Temple

Statue of Jesus Christ in Mindanao Taoist Temple

The photo above show statue of Jesus Christ placed next to other Taoist Gods in Mindanao Taoist Temple. Many Taoist Temples in the Philippines do include the statues of Jesus, Mother Mary and Christian Cross on the altar to be worshipped by the Devotees.

Joss sticks and Food offerings are placed in front of statues and images of Jesus, Virgin Mary and the Christian Cross, like how Chinese pray to Taoist Gods.

There is religious syncretism found in Chinese Filipino homes. Many Chinese Filipinos have Santo Nino (baby Christ) statues as well as Buddha statues and Taoist gods on their altars.

Many Chinese Filipinos practice the traditional Chinese religions side by side with Catholicism, due to the openness of the Roman Catholic Church in accommodating Chinese beliefs, such as ancestor veneration.

The mindset of most non-Christian Chinese is "Is God? Will Pray"(有神就拜) , meaning " As long as it is a saint, god, deity or any spiritual beings, We will pray".

Taoism is an inclusive religion in that it does not reject the gods of other religions. Taoists are always ready to accept the spiritual practice of other faith and include the gods,deities and saints from other religions to be worshipped together with their own Taoist Gods. Only Christians always go around condemning other religions.

Being a Taoist, You are given the freedom to pray to other gods, deities and saints from other religions. Being a Christian, You can only pray to god. So You better choose to be a Taoist.
