    And you thought Christopher Hitchens was cynical?

    One thing is for sure and that is that Mother Theresa did not do the good deeds because she was so kind. The only reason she did it was because she wanted to change the belief of the people where she was. This is her own words.

    3) He pushed the Chicago MI-5 subway shooting fallacy which was patently false. Where is his retraction?

    someone dont know the difference between MI5 and MI6. MI5 are domestic and work in the uk only, MI6 are the james bonds jet setting around the world

    that made me laugh so much. such a credible source

    I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but it is blatantly obvious this is yet another attempt at attacking the Catholic Church...

    I'm not at all surprised considering the source here..

    I don't have anything against Bible, but Catolic church is a business, and very profitable one... I doubt an honorable person could make a career like Mother Theresa did. If there is hell, you'll meet all those pedophile priests there after you die. Nothing against Catolic church in particular - any organized church is in it for the money

    Mother Teresa died with a ton of money, didn't she?

    I really cannot find fault with that. You're not suggestion that the church (any church for that matter) should be in the business of losing money? Everything costs money...

    Either way, I do not remember a time where Mother Theresa spent at the lake house, or driving a BMW, or living to excess in any other manor. Seems to me like it was a humble existence. I'm not sure I could live up to that expectation, so sham or no sham, she's a better person than you are I.

    No one should be losing money, I just think commercialization of religion is immoral...

    i agree 100% with that, even if she was shipped around with Diplomatic status, thats what she was, a Diplomat for the poor. and didnt have the trimmings that Diplomats flaunt.

    Indeed. And that was a noble motive. I'm not a Catholic, but I have the highest respect for Mother Theresa. She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty in living out her faith, rather than sitting in some board room somewhere giving orders.
