china was right to try to get rid of their degenerate religion

Religion has nothing to do with it. You fell for the jewish trick of guilt by association. The opposite of religion is hedonism, which would normalize this and much worse. Without religious morality there is no reason why raping children should be considered wrong.

Idk religious positions tend to attract pedophiles. I think especially if they are isolated from normal life and normal sexuality, like celibacy. It's not natural.

Dali Lama was literally groomed for the role from a very young age.

That's absurd. Positions of power over kids attracts pedophiles. Teachers, coaches, pediatricians, social workers, fostering, psycholigists, councelors, etc.

It is just part of the war on religion to constantly exagerate crimes that are commited by religious figures.

Not absurd. You are right though it's a feature of positions of power and not religions specifically. However I think religious positions where celibacy is the expectation are particularly susceptible to it because normal people are less likely to want to go into the priesthood for example if it precludes them from taking a wife and having a family.

Whereas a pedophile will not care about that downside so much as they are not interested in sex with adults or traditional family structures.

Once you get those organizations formed they're going to groom children from a young age and they'll grow up to be pedophiles themselves most likely. They don't know anything different.

This is completely wrong, a pedophile would want nothing more than to have kids of their own.

You are thinking of homosexuals. That is a reasonable assumption to make for homosexuals, it is not for pedophiles.

Most of the cases of this sort of pedophilia in positions of power tends to be homosexual pedophilia. There's a logic to the idea that the pedophiles would want to make kids of their own to abuse. And indeed that happens all the time actually. But that tends to be heterosexual pedophilia simply because the act of making a child requires heterosexual sex in the first place.

There is absolutely nothing stopping gay people from being in hetero relationships just to get access to children. I think it is a much greater stretch to imagine they would choose the rout of becoming clergy, which would take much, much longer and would give them very little access to children rather than have relationships in highschool that would give them much more access to the younger siblings and then have their own kids with infinite access to them and their friends.

Religious positions just don't offer access to kids the way many other jobs and positions do. It just does not make sense.

Then why are there so many problems with pedophile priests?

It makes sense when you think about it. The religious angles let them maneuver around potential outrage, identify potential victims that are already struggling in an environment where they can't be open about their feelings, and unless they get caught right in the act the chances of their victims outing them is very small.

There aren't, it is an illusion created by the (((media))) to slander christianity. There are billions of christians and millions of clergy so there is no shortage of pedophiles in that large of a pool of people. But statistically child abuse is lower than in many other professions like teachers, and much much lower than child abuse at the hands of caregivers like parents and relatives.

No it does not. You have a belief about preists being pedophiles and are working backwards from that conclusion to invent reasons for it.

identify potential victims that are already struggling in an environment where they can't be open about their feelings

You have clearly been manipulated by a lot of propaganda. Religious communities do not ostracize people the way you have beem mislead to believe. And if they did the clergy would not be the ones they would open up to. Nor would that clergy have special access to those kids or special knowledge about tbeir sexuality.

Counselors, teachers, and psychologists on the other hand all would. So if there are any pedos choosing a profession based on how much access they get to vulnerable children that is where they would go.

What are you talking about?! No religion, besides satanism or some pagan religion, grooms children to be pedophiles.

That is what anti religion "progressives" do in schools.

Everything you say is ass backwards.

The Dali Lama is chosen as a young boy when they "discover" who is the next reincarnation of the Lama and then that person is groomed from a young age to fulfil the role.

The Catholics as well have the long tradition of alter boys. Nothing wrong with these in and of themselves and the religious dogma certainly doesn't condone any sort of pedophilia, it happens in private.

But once you've got the institutions in place and the pedophiles in there they're going to find their prey. The prey will be groomed. And some of them will go onto be church leadership themselves and the cycle will continue. It's not rocket science.
