Dear So-called Mother Theresa,
I know that you were never really a mother, and I also know that you're
not around to actually read this letter. Fortunately for you, there is
no hell for you to go to, in punishment for your apostacy.
But I still wanted to say that it's okay for you to have doubts. Most
people do. Indeed, how could a person not doubt a divine plan upon
seeing the squalor and misery which prevails in the poorest sections of
the world. You got to experience this to a limited extent. Imagine how
people who actually had die in your clinics, with no pain killers or
family visits, as per your directives, might have felt. They must have
really doubted god, despite your attempts to proselytize to them at their
most vulnerable moments.
Still, I am gratified to know that even you found it hard to believe.
After all, the Roman Catholic Church has some pretty incredible whoppers
that it tells. It's no wonder that you doubted throughout your life, all
the way up to your death.
What's not okay, however, is that fact that you outwardly pretended that
you did not doubt, when in the public eye. You advocated for an
organization which lived in opulence and asked others to sacrifice. You
actively promoted their agenda which said that death and epidemic were
better than condom usage. You savagely vilified those responsible enough
to practice family planning, even though such actions would have been
far and away more effective at reducing poverty and suffering than your
entire life's work in Calcutta. In short, you arrogantly claimed
certainty on matters for which you had grave doubts. The Jesus portrayed
in the New Testament might have called you a hypocrite for that (except
for the fact that he never existed). I merely lament that you were a
tool and a pawn in the great con known as christianity. Did you so badly
crave the false label of saint that nothing else mattered to you? If so
then you're not nearly as selfless as you attempted to portray yourself
either. You were in it for the fame and personal glory. Of course,
because of your own, self-selected route to get it, you could not very
easily attempt to indulge in your success, because living the high life
would make you look less saintly.
In any event, thank you for the service you have provided to secular and
skeptical movements all around the world. Your example has provided us
with a formidable arsenal with which we can assail the church that you
were too cowardly to oppose in public. I hope this same church is so out
of touch that they actually do make you a saint. It will point up the
worthlessness of that institution as well. You couldn't have done a
better job had you been an EAC sleeper cell agent. Then again, on second
thought, forget that I said that...;))))

"It is fashionable to wax apocalyptic about the
threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus, 'mad cow'
disease, and many others, but I think a case can be
made that faith is one of the world's great evils,
comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to
eradicate." -- Richard Dawkins
