- Mohism was the closest of China's philosophic schools to western religious traditions with its belief in a single spirit of the heavens, a strict moral code, and universal love.
That's not obvious at all. I don't know of many Western religious tradition that uses universal love in the same way that Mohists do.
- Seconded! These one-sentence/paragraph/essay east-west comparisons really don't make sense to me ...

- What may make sense is to say that Jesuits, when discovering Chinese thought, did like much mohism and found many links to their own religious beliefs. (But they made the same links with many other masters...) gbog 17:33, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
