Mum Teresa was not a saint, her mission was to get as many people tied into her belief system as possible. Her charity work was her way of getting the 'bad news' out to as many as possible. Poverty and hopelessness creates many needs. Religious nonsense can fill some of those needs without actually doing anything. Anyway, Mum Teresa renounced her beliefs shortly before she shuffled off this mortal coil. There's no doubt about that. It's on Youtube too.Robsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-14745663318661151802010-06-11T16:33:08.000-04:002010-06-11T16:33:08.000-04:00They can light up all the Catholic churches; have ...They can light up all the Catholic churches; have at it.MelMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-28434496011380734722010-06-11T12:57:40.000-04:002010-06-11T12:57:40.000-04:00Ha Ha!Ha Ha!Cláudio Limanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-2985719916480414032010-06-11T10:40:00.000-04:002010-06-11T10:40:00.000-04:00The biggest hypocrite here is the lesbian Catholic...The biggest hypocrite here is the lesbian Catholic woman. Oh, I oppose my religion's view of my sexuality, but I still think they have the right to force you to celebrate Catholic holidays because after all "we're all Catholic" (hint hint lady, no we're not.)<br /><br />People who want more freedom only for those freedoms that they themselves would use and want to impose their beliefs on others in every other circumstance are the vilest people.

But then comes Christianity (Catholocism in this case) and goes "hey! you light up for one of our religious holidys so you need to light up for this thing, too."<br />This is when we need to stand up and say "no".BluePrintnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-3174458758672266352010-06-11T02:53:00.000-04:002010-06-11T02:53:00.000-04:00Are they sticking to their principles, or just the...Are they sticking to their principles, or just their budget?
