Nope, I never posted about that before. But thats my personal opinion and to be honest, I haven't read lots of Greek philosophers myself, but from what I've read, I consider it to be closest thing to Christianity. Its postulates are quite close to Christian virtues, though there are also several large differences too, such as the theories about passivity or non resistance. While Dao De Jing says that one should obey the nature and its laws, Christianity says to oppose worldly temptations. But that verse from Dao De Jing also depends on interpretation as well. Any who, thats my opinion for now. And its not too long to read either, though you should have some basic understanding of Chinese world view to understand certain parts of it.
P.S. unrelated, but "Word" in John 1 is translated in Chinese as "Dao" in the Bibles.
