Yeah. I respect a lot of religious figures. Mother Teresa, the most recent incarnation of the Dalai Lama... not so many American public figures, but my parents' priest is a good guy.
I don't not respect them because they do good in the name of religion. That being said, it makes me sad to look at people like this and think how much better it would be if they did these things not because of religion but because of humanity, how much better it would be if this was a world where you could touch so many peoples' lives, inspire so many people to charity and love, become famous as a paragon of virtue without having to do it in the name of a god.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
