See, you draw closer to God by suffering, just like Jesus suffered.
So just lay there in your own filth, and no, we don't have any doctors here, because Jesus didn't have one. Don't you feel closer to Him? Now die already. 
Get it? Me neither. |

I had the privledge to meet her and shake her hand when I was in 5th grade (and she was shorter than me). To this day it is the greatest honor of my life and I've met Pope John Paul II, two presidents, and countless congress-critters and senators. That woman simply exuded goodness and peace. A true Saint on earth. No one that thinks the poor deserve to be that way as punishment for their "sins", or who keeps children sent to her in conditions that were little better than slavery, is a "true Saint on Earth". She was an evil person who sold a bill of goods to people looking for a cause.

Some people really have nothing better to do....
It is like saying happy holidays instead of merry Christmas. Yes I'm not catholic or christian (my parents are) but I say merry Christmas to everybody on Dec 25th and I don't mind someone saying merry Christmas to me. It is just what it is.... no one who is saying merry Christmas to you on Dec 25th is meaning harm to you. If you are offended by someone saying merry Christmas to you, go freaking work. I don't believe in religion but that is my own thing, as long as you don't tell me I have to believe in something I don't care what you do. Besides, regardless of religion, a person should be recognized for all the sacrifices made - and this is a good way to commemorate that. |

I don't care who they put on stamps, and I'm a dedicated atheist.
I can't remember the last time I bought stamps that had a person on them. I always buy the American flag ones. |

"Theology through suffering" She was not as saintly as people make her out to be. Were you a member of her entourage? How many sick people have you visited? Ohh really? now stfu No, nor did I ever claim to any of that. Nor do I deny people proper medical attention in the name of my religion. She visited them though, so I guess that makes her awesome. For the record, I could care less about a stamp, however I don't have to agree with the reasoning behind putting her on one. |

This has nothing to do with atheism. It has to do with people who live to obsess over trivial bullshit and invent nonsense to worry about. The fact that this particular dumbass-without-a-life is also an atheist...and therefor picks atheism-based crap to fret over...is quite irrelevant. There are at least as many non-atheistic busy-bodies out there, and the two are just different sides of the same pathetic coin.

It only has to do with atheism in a tangential sense. The root issue is the busy-budy principle. It just happens to be an atheist who's manifesting it in this case. |

Within Catholicism (and Christianity in general), suffering does have something of a scared place - being mentioned in the beatitudes, but more importantly Christ suffered and died for our redemption. II would not go so far to say that Catholics glorify suffering, but recognize it can draw people more deeply into their faith. Catholics (more than most other Christians) alsoremember that there would have been no Easter Sunday without Good Friday.
Anyway your insults are not against Mother Theresa, but against Catholicism in specific, and Christianity in general. |

I rank P/T on par with Michael Moore when it comes to journalistic integrity, but the video is telling. Mother Theresa herself has made statements in the past indicating that she doesn't put any real special emphasis on the uniqueness of Christ. |
