Cao Dai


Among the many interesting faiths to choose from, Vietnam's Cao Dai may be one of the most interesting:

1) It has a Pope and a Holy See (pictured above).
2) Saints to the Cao Dai include Sun Yat-Sen, Victor Hugo, Julius Caesar, and Winston Churchill.
3) It seems that Cao Dai adherents believe that God was created by the Big Bang.
4) Like Ba'hia, Cao Dai teaches the unity of all faiths in their central precepts.



Except for the part about Victor Hugo, Cao Dai's precepts diverge strikingly from my own core beliefs, so my search for a new church home will continue.

Well, now I know why the staff looks at me funny when I order Cao Dia at a Vietnamese restaurant.

It's East Asian gnosticism. Neat.

You could always try being a Druze for a while.
