Taoism and Christianity: Comparing/Contrasting their influences on pop culture

Today in class we compared the text from the Tao Te Ching (#33), and the text from Ecclesiastes.

A Time for Everything
1	To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2	a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which isplanted;
3	a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4	a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5	a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6	a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7	a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8	a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Also, listen to this song by the 1960's rock group The Byrds: Turn! Turn! Turn! song
