While Taoism is illogical in most respects, there are also some similarities to Christianity. After studying Taoism, the most unanticipated facets are the correlations to Christianity, and how the correlations with Christianity prove God's Truth. While Taoism is Eastern Mysticism and not Monotheistic, like Christianity, there are still some connections.
             Taoism is the belief in nothing. If you do nothing, everything will happen. However, everything that happens is good. But is doing nothing good?

             Throughout Taoism, there are many contradictions and axioms that if put together prove the unreality of Taoism. In the Tao Tê Ching, it says, "The people of the world all have a purpose." But it also says "I alone differ from the other people." The point is that there is no purpose to Taoism (Yutang, 1948).
             Even the Taoist path to salvation is unreasonable. Taoism claims to be The Path, The Truth, and The Absolute (Yamamoto, 1998). However, how can it be true if reality is nothing but perception? Right and wrong, good and evil, and true and false are relative perceptions (Yamamoto, 1998). If people try to think of things in these dualistic terms, it hinders their comprehension of the Tao. Truth and falsehood makes up reality, so a Taoist should never say that Tao is the Truth.

             The most popular representation of Taoism is the Yin Yang. The Yin and the Yang are the dual qualities of life (Yamamoto, 1998). The only problem with that philosophy is that a dual nature lays the foundation for dual reality. How can the Tao be dual, but reality cannot? That would mean that the Tao is not r
