Mother Theresa's doubts.

The actor Tim Robbins was heard to defend Mother Theresa when, on his television show, Bill Maher brought up the subject of her recent diary admissions that she had doubts about the existence of god.

Tim Robbins quoted the line of all the faithful that, in effect states “To be faithful is by definition to be doubtful and that all religious people have, at one time or another, had doubts.”

This is fine if you a member of the public but if you are a member of an organization that collects money from people based on your teachings and sermons about the existence of god you had better have no doubts at all.

None.

You can’t take money from people and be unsure if god even exists. That is called “swindling” As a church leader, as soon as you hear a little voice in your head say “Is this all a croc? Is there really a god or is my whole life based on a lie?” you need to either announce that to your congregation so they can make an informed decision as to whether or not they want to keep funding your lifestyle or immediately resign.

If you keep these doubts to yourself you are taking other peoples money under false pretenses. A very serious crime indeed.

Mother Theresa was, at the very least, a hypocrite. She had her own private misgivings but kept them to herself and let the Catholic church keep collecting their weekly offerings.

Shameful!

Why gods zombie hoards hate gays.

I met a gay person recently. Nicest person you could ever meet and the first one I have ever really talked to about life, god and the universe and I came to this conclusion. The reason religious people believe that homosexuality is a personal choice is because, if it’s not, it throws all their beliefs about god being omnipotent into doubt.

If it’s not a choice that means one of two things:
Either god created them that way and that means that he obviously condones homosexuality or

He didn’t create them that way and that means that god is not infallible. He makes mistakes.

Neither one of these is acceptable to the religious and so it has to be the fault of the gay person. It was very clear to me that my homosexual friend had no control over what turned him on. His best friend is an extremely attractive blond girl who made my pulse rate rise and my heart rate soar. Two physical things over which I had no control at all. But for him she was simply a friend. He neither had nor ever wanted to have any sexual contact with her even though he loves her dearly as a friend.
