Ever hear about the Jesus Sutras.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Sutras
The Jesus Sutras, or the Lost Sutras of Jesus are early Chinese language manuscripts of Christian teachings brought to China during the 7th century by Alopen, a Persian bishop of the Assyrian Church of the East (often incorrectly referred to as Nestorian).
The sutras date from between 635 CE, the year of Christianity's introduction to China; and 1005, when the Mogao Cave, near Dunhuang, in which they were found was sealed. Four of the sutras are said to be located in private collections in Japan, while one is in Paris. Their language and content reflect varying levels of adaptation to Chinese culture, including Buddhist and Taoist influences.
OTHER: There is similarities in the Book of Revelations from the Christian New Testament and the Taoism Revelations of Taishang dongyuan shenzhou jing, or The Divine Incantations Scripture.[14]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoism
The oldest known book that details the coming apocolypse was also produced in this period under the name Taishang dongyuan shenzhou jing, or The Divine Incantations Scripture.[14] The earliest portions of the book have been traced back to the beginning of the fifth century. They offered a new route to transcendence that was was different from the Celestial Masters movement it branched off of. This scripture sought to clarify the gods are, "in a word, merely the officials of the celestial bureaucracy."[15] The text was unique for the time in that it promised the aid of celestial "ghost troops" to those who upheld its teachings and acknowledged the dynamic obedience and simultaneous danger of various "daemon kings" that also existed in a fantastical version of the metaphysical world. These characteristics draw interesting parallels with the cosmic and celestial warfare depicted in the Book of Revelations from the Christian New Testament. The book also urges Daoists to "assiduously convert the unenlightened," and demands scriptural exclusivity when receiving the scripture. [16]

He Is not. Jesus Lived in Palestine. Taoism comes from China.
Jesus Was Jewish. Not Taoist.

He isn't.
Taoism existed before Jesus and it has existed since Jesus. Jesus, or any other diety, has no place in Taoism.

Taosim does not discriminate like Jesus didn't. Toaism teaches to go with the flow. Jesus went with the flow. He healed sponateously. He had to be crucified and went with it.

He's not. Try Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Mithrasism, he's linked to those.
