Quote: At the time of her death, Mother Teresa had opened 517 missions welcoming the poor and sick in more than 100 countries.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...cious.html
From a critical site. That is 517 missions in more than 100 countries. How many missions have you opened? How many has Christopher Hitchens, a Marxist, who popularized atheist demonization of Mother Theresa.
This is what I think happened. Mother Theresa was a flawed individual. Figures like Christopher Hitchens, who are themselves very spiritually immature and like to play on peoples sense of breaking away from tradition, of hearing a sort of rebellious, iconoclastic message which sells books and who do not want to have anyone put a moral authority over them set out to discredit Mother Theresa in any way possible.
What happens after this is that atheists on the internet, who sometimes are immature, emotionally and also spiritually, picked up on the anti-Mother Theresa wave. They did not feel any special responsibility to get a clear perception of what Mother Theresa did, they just gratified their youthful, rebellious lusts by indulging in anti-Theresa propaganda:
"Are you that fucking stupid? Mother T built a profitable reputation; too bad her 'patients' weren't recipients of the generosity. "
"Mother theresa - servant of the devil "
I would encourage anyone reading this thread who wants to grow in understanding the world and truth that they should learn to control their appetites for controversy and hunger for the sort of truth that is not easily palatable to rebellious tastes.
Whatever you think of Mother Theresa, maybe she was a mediocre humanitarian, the spirit in which you judge her should reflect a hunger for understanding, not a love of controversy.
