Man. So interesting. Thank you!

Yes, I wondered why the Buddhist priests here were almost like mobsters in the way they "roll" (not in the sense of violence, but in the money raked in).

Truly saddened to hear this. Not surprised one bit, though. The violent, coercive, "divine right" religion ruins everything, always. It's the same divine right belief running the show in America, and all other nation states, though very few would admit to holding these beliefs.

Anyways, thanks so much for teaching me something today!
