I refuse to use a venn diagram, deal with it (<---- rebel)

These blog post titles should eventually have something to do with the actual topic shouldn't they?

Anyway, to the question at hand. I believe that Jesus's teaching are most like Zoroaster's teachings, as both put a large stress on charity. I think that Jesus's teachings are the least like the teachings of Taoism, which teaches a detachment from the world. Jesus's teachings instruct people to take a direct role in the material world, which places it at odds with the teachings of Taoism. Buddhism and Jesus's teachings are unrelated for the most part in my opinion, though I know Buddhism is unlike Christianity as Buddhism is polytheistic while Christianity is monotheistic. Christianity is like the views of Hinduism in the sense that everyone has a purpose, as in, people can help other people. Confucianism is much like Christianity, except for the fact that Confucianism does not place a stress on the afterlife, unlike Christianity. Both stress the importance of human kindness and helpfulness. The views of Socrates and Jesus are similar in ways; both stress the importance of virtue within people.
