wow this is an eye opener.. The letter sounded more like she was struggling to believe in God but deep within her she reason they actually might not be. she was caught in dire conflict of Faith vs reason and doubt all her life, that is really a huge burden to bear. I have always and always will be a fan of mother Theresa, have watched films about her and i enjoy her humble and peaceful philosophies. - Her humanitarian works and compassion. I only object her philosophy of adopting poverty, i think acquiring wealth will open a broader and better window for one who wants to help the poor. She's a rare gem though, much respect! 8 Likes 4 Shares |

Many so-called faith leaders may reveal similar inner struggles if given the chance to express themselves without public backlash. It is almost impossible for any sincere individual who have the opportunity to interact with different segment of the society to remain "faithful" because it doesn't just make sense. 3 Likes 1 Share |

hahn: Same here. Christopher hitchens savaged her I went to do more research after listening to him. Apparently, she loved human suffering. A sadist. There were many people in her charity homes that could have gotten better treatment but she let them suffer in the or conditions. 1 Like 1 Share |

She doubted the existence of a god at the later part of her life. Reasons being,she saw so many unjust sufferings and pains then wondered if truly a loving god would let that happens. Think of it,of what importance would suffering be to a loving god? Why create so much pain when life could be made easy. Theses were her thoughts and of course the Catholic church will cover it up in the interest of keeping the church afloat. Was she agnostic? No! She probably was an atheist who only played by the book. 1 Like 1 Share |

UyiIredia: Long time, Uyi! Mother Theresa was evil. Read up --------------------'----------------- Teresa’s free clinics provided care that was at best rudimentary and haphazard and at worst unsanitary and dangerous, despite the enormous amounts of donations she received. Multiple volunteers at Teresa’s clinics, such as Mary Loudon and Susan Shields, have testified to the inadequate care provided to the dying. Despite routinely receiving millions of dollars in donations, Teresa deliberately kept her clinics barren and austere, lacking all but the most rudimentary and haphazard care. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/2008/05/mother-teresa/ |

Anyone who really thinks must have at one time or more doubt the existence of an all powerful supreme being. I think God should understand. Like Al Pacino said in 'devil's advocate'; Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER! I still believe in him tho, but the rules are really set in the opposite. |
