i dont know if any of you know much about Mother Theresa, but she prayed and prayed for God to send someone to India who would help to cure disease, mainly AIDS. She prayed on three seperate occasions, and all three times God replied that the person he sent was aborted.

Really, that's some impressive knowledge on your part, Maria, to know what God said to Mother Theresa. And it doesn't reflect terrebly well on your omnipotent God if it can't figure out how to send people who aren't going to get aborted, now does it?
I know something of Mother Teresa. Here are a few of my favorite Mother Teresa quotes:
"It is a just retribution for improper sexual misconduct" -- Mother Teresa, on AIDS
"I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people." -- Mother Teresa, on poverty
"It is the greatest enemy of peace." -- Mother Teresa, on abortion
"There is no problem of overpopulation, only God's will." -- Mother Teresa, on overpopulation
(Providing this load of crap is true, which it obviously is not) So, then he just gave up? Maybe AIDS is just god being lazy, after all, when he was a younger deity, he had the energy to curse and smite till the cows came home (provided he didn't kill them in a flood or because their owner stole or commited adultery). Genocide has always been one of biblegod's favourite pastimes, now (with AIDS) he can just sit back and let it happen without getting his hands dirty. Omnipotent indeed!
All right, Mother Theresa was a staunch Christian, so we can expect much of what Papabear posted. But guys, come on, she was still a tireless charity worker. I don't think it's right to call her a "cunt", even if you don't agree with her views.
Remember now, mindless insults are the path to the dark side. Insults lead to anger, anger leads to ignorance, ignorance leads to conservative punditry.
Yes, this is the same omnipotent Yahweh again. Parts the damn seas, turns rivers to blood, rains fire and brimstone from the skies, is still thwarted by the EVIL ABORTION. :rolleyes:
NKF, charity workers who worked with Mother Teresa stated that the money just sat in accounts, and didn't go to help the poor.
She would blackmail people on the sickbed - granting them rice in exchange for converting to Catholicism.
I spoke to God yesterday. He said that he's quite ill at the moment, and finds himself unable to cure anyone. When I inquired as to the details of his illness, he merely said: "I wish I'd had a condom when I fucked Mary."
This post says little or nothing about Theresa. It does say that Maria, the poster, does not believe in an omnipotent, omniscient god. It also demonstrates that she does not understand gramatical tenses. It should read, "... and all three times God replied that the person he would have sent had been aborted", assuming that God is not sending people quite that young to help cure disease.
Her god is an incompetent moron. But we tend to make gods like ourselves, don't we. My god is non-existant. Oh well.

Well, to be fair, they did perform the abortion in an iron chariot. Everybody knows that iron is God's kryptonite...
If this is something that Mother Theresa actually said, then, my dear friends, she is nothing more than a liar. If it is something that Maria made up thinking everyone would believe it, then shame, shame.
I was also going to post about reading about Mother Theresa's bank accounts and how she allowed those to suffer because it was a "blessing", but others beat me to it. If Mother Theresa is the church's best example of humanitarianism, I'll have no part of it, thank you.
"It is a just retribution for improper sexual misconduct" -- Mother Teresa, on AIDS
Er? As opposed to proper sexual misconduct?
I'll admit that I didn't know that MT was witholding funds from the poor. In any case, the links have convinced me that she was a basically good person that was mostly deceived by extreme Christian doctrine. You can't, of course, take all of the blame off of her hands and merely label her as "deceived."
Nevertheless, I still think it's inappropriate to call her a "cunt" or otherwise insult her beyond identifying her crimes. But, oh well, have at and what not.

Maronan, that's a thing of beauty.
You dumbfucks. Wouldn't it be that God's whole point was that as long as there was abortion, the person would never get through? It's not that God couldn't do it, it's that God won't do it. Or did I miss something important?
Or maybe God sent someone, and she died while being forced to carry a baby to term, despite developing serious complications.
Or he sent someone, and he had fundie parents, who brainwashed him into believing that science was evil, and the Bible was all he needed to know.
Or the Conservatards decided to send him to war instead of medical school, and he was killed in action.
Wow, god must be a serious screw-up. Well, god didn't give us vaccines, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatment or antibiotics. I guess once again we'll have to tackle this issue ourselves.
Many more spontaneous abortions happen, than "procured" abortions.
Isn't it the pregnancy that is aborted, not the fetus? [/nitpicking]
Plus, a fetus, at the time when most abortions are made, is hardly a person. It has no nervous system, no brain, no personality.
It's fairly indistinguishable from a pig fetus or a chicken fetus or a fish fetus.
God made a virgin give birth and dead people walk, I'm sure he could work out the abortion bit.
And by the way, how long would the baby take to grow up and invent a cure?
Couldn't god just make the cure magically appear in plain writing on a scientific paper? Fuck that, couldn't he just wave AIDS away? He's fucking omnipotent.
I'm not sure what's more stupid: the fact that it's somehow impressive that Mother Theresa tried to battle AIDS by praying a whopping three times, or that God's solution to to the present day problem is to pick an unborn baby that is supposed to develop a cure in... what? Forty, fifty years time? Fat lot of good that does.
Sooooo.....
God knows what a person is going to do before they are even born (this clump of cells will cure/solve AIDS somehow) but wouldn't that mean that he would know that the person who was going to cause that abortion would do before it was born (this clump of cells is going to abort that clump of cells that will cure/solve AIDS somehow) and perform one of his standard natural abortions, or swap the one out of the millions of sperm that reached the egg, changed the events so that person never became an abortion provider.
Owww it is too early in the morning for this
Confused?
