In other words taking parts of each ideology that overall might be contradictory and patching different parts together to make it work.

A few years ago, when I first started reporting on religion in China, a Shanghainese religious leader said something to me along the lines of - "One of the spiritual characteristics of the Chinese people is the ability to believe in two contradictory systems at the same time." At the time I didn't give it much thought. But the more time I spend around Chinese religious, and the more I see pictures like this one, I see what he was getting at. What a great and true photo.

Of course, their appearance in a temple only adds to the confusion. I am 90% certain I know who the two people are in the front right, but they are so strangely done, that I am still a bit uncertain.
