The Cao Dai religion is a blend of Eastern and Western faiths and appears to be flourishing in Vietnam. What intrigues you the most about this religion?

I think one of the things that intrigues me about this religion IS the attempt at blending Western and Eastern faiths together. Countless times has this been done throughout our species' history and I think the pinnacle aspect of this is the faith in a deity named, God, but a practice of seance.. which usually is practiced (to my understanding) in beliefs systems like satanism and wiccanism... and probably others I have not named. My goodness.. what a splendid delight we have among us to have so many ways of understanding the world, our own existence, and the universe :) Now... if only there were some of us who did not cling to the idea that one's own understanding is the entire truth of the universe...

A True Christian will know that this is but a religion which has nothing to do with Faith and a True Relationship with the One and Only God Who Is The Creator of all we see, know or not know as yet. Amen.
Good morning, everyone. I am from Vietnam. I left my neighbouring hometown for this divine land, Tay Ninh Province several years ago and I am now living here inside the religion to learn carefully about this religion, Caodaism. Please kindly let me share one thing with you all: "Faith and Wisdom are the most invaluable treasures, whereas those left are worthless." His Holiness Dharma Protector Pham Cong Tac taught in His book of "How to perfect oneself". Therefore, I, a Caodaist, humbly think that when anyhow one is lucky enough to hear or know about this religion, he or she had better spend real time on learning meticulously about It in order to understand and have faith. I would be grateful if you could consider doing so. Do have a meaningful life!

Actually, Cao Dai was originated in Tay Ninh province of Southern Vietnam, near the Cambodian border. In the beginning of the establishment, the religion recruited worshippers by crude force. My parents was born in this province and they said the Cao Dai people would kill anyone that didn’t want to join their religion. This was also a reason why it was banned at that time.

@Curious Entertainment, why should the all seeing eye be weird, when talking about the creator? Doesn't the all seeing creator see everything, and know everything so it should not be weird. Now what i find weird when it comes to religions and their symbols are the cross and the fish , the star of David and the crescent moon with the star. It is as if these three religions are quietly saying "yes we proclaim monotheism ( one divine creator) , but we are by no means going to let go of our Pagan roots.

Thank you Elder Morgan Freemen for this enlightenment knowledge of Cao Dai what little I’ve heard here. Is this the reason the United States Government went to War against the Vietnamese, because their relationship with the Living Almighty Creator? We were told something totally different as children growing up in the late 60’s and early 70’s and here I am in the early 20’s just hearing about the Cao Dai The Story of God. Who wouldn’t want to hear and learn the story of God. We grow up as Christians and listening about the story of Jesus so why not the Story of God.

Ideally, Nguyen Thànnh Tám does not understand Cao Dai in a basic way. Religion and Faith are completely different. He said Cao Dai unites the traditions of all the religions in the world...How foolish!! Pham Công Tắc was detained for 5 years on the island of Madagascar under general Decoux of Fascist. It was not until 1946 that the French allies (general d'Argenlieu) returned to Indochina to release Mr. Tac and the French supported Cao Dai religion. There was no such thing as a misunderstanding as Tam said. There were three French political blocs- de Gaulle ally with the US, French Communist and Socialist, Vichy ally with Germany- at that complicated time.. In 1997, the communist government created the Cao Dai Sect and assigned Nguyen Thanh Tam to lead this faction. The 1997 Sect and government forcibly occupied all the properties of Cao Dai Religion. They have continually persecuted the Cao Dai followers who don't get along with them. Read the Annual Report from the Department of States to know more about the Cao Dai situation. Mr. Freeman may be a victim of the millions of victims of the atheistic communist regime. Large crowd comes to worship because they consider the Holy See still of Cao Dai religion.
