Subject: My thoughts about "pure" Confucianism
In reply to: ts 's message, "Are you confused about confucious?" on 00:16:17 02/05/05 Sat

I think the original poster on RSQUBF was right that it is somewhat unfair to Confucius to attribute hypocritical, duplicitous subservience to Confucius. It is a somewhat "corrupted Confucianism" we are speaking about, not the pure teaching of Confucianism.

But it is somewhat similar to Marxism. While the original teachings sound good and resemble the Bible, they do not work out because they neglect the existence of God and of human sin. Thus the "real existing Communism" always looks different from the ideals of Marx and Lenin, inevitably, as history has proven. Similar with Confucianism. The "real existing Confucianism" is always corrupt, inevitably, because it neglects the existence of God and of human sin just as Marxism does.
