Can you be more specific? I’ve heard some people say that any amount of religion/spirituality at all is inherently harmful and that’s a little bit unreasonable.
Admittedly, I don’t have any knowledge here because this isn’t an issue I’ve read about before, but the article says people under 18 aren’t allowed to join anymore, so the extent to which monastic life is regulated seems excessive and the mandatory state approval of religious leaders seems strange.
That would depend on how I was treated; I asked for specifics on how children in monasteries are abused, but you didn’t provide any, so I can’t really pass judgement on that other than to say that I am against child abuse.
Are kids still being sent to monasteries? The article says it’s illegal now. Of course, this doesn’t negate any damage caused in the past, but it’s now a crime.

How would you like to be taken as a 4 year old child to grow up in a monastery?

Really? Are you sure you really want to go there?
Taken from their parents or abandoned, and forced to a life in religious insanity and celibacy?
There is no way any sensible child care worker wouldn’t take those children away.
So you have less of an idea about the subject than gonzo, who at least admits not knowing anything. Marvellous tankie specimen.
PS: The CCP sucks donkey dick.
I absolutely agree, the only thing worse is religions and their harmful practices and child abuse.
