"Mother Teresa was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction.”
- Christopher Hitchens
@selzero I remember learning about her after she died and she was fucking evil.
Not to mention that she had ties to arms dealers as well I believe.
@selzero She had a slide and a story all for her in a keynote yesterday. Very much for the feelgood factor. I thought we'd gone past her but the room's reaction to her=saint makes me think otherwise.
@selzero That book was brutal. And should be required reading.
@selzero Well that makes sense, nobody builds a church in a place of utter poverty, that desperately needs a hospital more, to help sick people - they do it to enrich themselves, and the religion they represent...Catholicism
I know part of her mission was to get people to convert, so what did she say, if you don't convert you'll die...that was the favoured Catholic line of the crusades.
