Hardliner tries to reform Thailand’s Buddhist monks behaving badly

[Muggi1968]

Religion is opium for the people..

Karl Marx

50 years ago nobody even dreamed that the kathilic church in europe was full of child, power and money abuse. Give it some time in Thailand and in 50 years everything will be clear.

He really isn't the man for the reform job, power grab is what this looks like. Not that anyone expects much of organized religion, but one can always imagine something better.

What a festering hypocrit is this 'person' who presided over murder, torture, beatings, massive civil disruption, occupation of government buildings, blocking elections etc etc etc. His treacherous, inhuman activities should at least have earned him a long time in jail. Instead here he is spouting off about badly behaved monks who's actions are nothing compared to what this faux monk did. How he sleeps at night I'll never know, he's a disgrace to his order.

How he sleeps at night?

Probably in opulent splendor, between silk sheets with a companion who's beauty would make you weep.

If Christianity can survive across the board scandals of every kind. . .best to keep this in perspective. Our information is not first hand.

One of my favorites:

1492: Rodrigo Borgia becomes Pope Alexander VI

1492 wasn't a good year for the world.

No it wasn't I guess, that was the year when Columbus discovered America

The Catholics are even worse

It had been discovered before then by various people but they all kept quiet about it.

Well it is technically speaking not a religion, but for the sake of argument, it works just like any other religion……obviously

you are right it is not a religion , it is one giant pyramid scheme .
