PIETY AND POKER

It should come as no shock to socialists to learn that the outwardly religious devotees are often dreadful hypocrites. We have after all had plenty of evidence of the Vatican covering up child abuse cases. The following news item nevertheless is an extreme example of religious hypocrisy. "Six leaders of South Korea's largest Buddhist order have been forced to resign after being caught on video drinking, smoking and playing high-stakes poker at a memorial event for a dead Zen master."
