Mother Theresa was...

[CountDeMoney]

The woman was a member of one of the hardest of the hardcore orders for poverty, working with people that would make Languishites vomit, and she catches shit because she was a pro-lifer nun that didn't believe in contraception?  Guess what: so did that whole side of the fucking planet she worked in. 1 Billion Slurpees Served. 

And really: Hitchens? King of the Self-Preening Peacocks himself? The guy who could only wish he was Chinese finger-cuffed by Buckley and Vidal?

I know have my buttons that get me torqued, but man, what a bunch of over-the-top cynical cunts   A nun.  A dead nun. 

[grumbler]

Yep, just another religious hypocrite. Suffering is only good when it happens to other people.

I've never seen anything from her that would indicate that she didn't feel that her own suffering was not good for her.  It seems to that you are reaching the  conclusions you want to reach.

We all reach the conclusions we want to reach.

Project much?

I guess the simple test is to ask if the world would have been a better place if she had not existed.

If the answer is no, then your answer on the poll falls somewhere between 1 and 2.

If the answer is yes, then your answer on the poll falls somewhere between 3 and 4.

The world would not have been better nor worst without her.  Somebody else would have taken her place somewhere else in the world.

Who?

was she the only missionary in the world?

Viper is right. If Mother Theresa wasn't a nun, half of this board would support her candidacy for the next POTUS.

Pretty sure nuns are allowed to run for office.

a Catholic President? When was the last? JFK?

[Razgovory]

The last to run was John Kerry.

There is nothing inherently wrong with a missionary position.

Is that in Deuteronomy?

My beloved extended his hand through the opening, And my feelings were aroused for him.

Is that Deuteronomy?

I now have a mental picture in my head I desperately need to get rid of.

Why do we only see pictures of super old Mother Teresa? She was young once, right?

Damn that is one Eastern European looking person.
