Episode notes
Christianity Persecution Method
- Persecutors used an image of Christ on the ground to identify Christians by forcing them to tread on it.
- Those who refused faced execution, illustrating early Christian faith under threat.
Christianity's Exclusive Truth
- Christianity claims to be the one true way based on biblical revelation, rejecting contradictions.
- This exclusivity is logical, not hateful, and respects religious freedom for genuine choice.

- Christianity uniquely asserts Jesus as the only way and God incarnate, differing from Taoism's concept.
