Those who came here via Google will have seen that it is the birthday of Confucius.
Confucius was a smart-ass slant, much given to one-liners such as
“Never buy false teeth at a yard-sale,” and
“He who pisses in his boots doesn’t stay warm for long”
He was born about 500 years before Jesus, so he could not have been Christian yet he expressed the well-known principle, "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.
He also looked nostalgically upon earlier days, and urged the Chinese, particularly those with political power, to model themselves on earlier examples. “It was better back then!” And you know, we at Landover and the Republican Party believe that too!
However, being a slant, he forgot an afterlife, and was vague about God. His thoughts are broadly unconcerned with spiritual matters often considered essential to Christianity, such as the nature of the soul; something that True Christians™ know exists.
Christianity is thus essential to get the full benefit of an afterlife from a Merciful God. Here’s something he didn’t say, “It is better with Jesus.”
This is an extract form the Wiki article and agrees with Landover
So the message is, “Confucius says, ‘I wish I’d believed in Jesus’ for he is being burned in hell on a daily basis.”

Although Confucianism is often followed in a religious manner by the Chinese, arguments continue over whether it is a religion. Confucianism lacks an afterlife, its texts express complex and ambivalent views concerning deities, and it is relatively unconcerned with some spiritual matters often considered essential to religious thought, such as the nature of the soul.
So the message is, “Confucius says, ‘I wish I’d believed in Jesus’ for he is being burned in hell on a daily basis.”
