[quote=GRIZ326 ,34377]Religion has a way of shaping a culture. Interestingly, John Fairbanks wrote that the Jesuits trying to convert the Chinese found them "living by Christain (Catholic) ethics" ... so they re-wrote the bible to accomodate the situation.I am not religious - however - I was shaped by my religious upbringing and I cannot do a thing about it - it is an intimate part of me. I never talk about my spiritual/ethical beliefs, but people who observe my behavior can see my beliefs because I do my best to live them. THAT (commonality) was what most impressed me with China on my first visit. IT was mostly absent on my trip this summer :([/quote]
