You don't actually have to force people into marriages to be considered a crazy cult.
It's sufficient that you believe blatantly crazy stuff, have blatantly crazy practices, and are an offshoot from an actually major religion, with your own fanfictions interspersed with it.

Catholicism would be a crazy cult were there not this many people following it.

Mother Theresa believed suffering to be a divine connection to God, and as such did not believe in providing pain medication to patients. She did not really provide medical care to her patients, just 'care', affection, and prayer - people were cleaned and sores dressed, but little medication was given, contagious patients were not separated, and honest attempts at revitalization were not made. It was purely spiritual healing in focus, and suffering was a part of that.

Theresa did not launder her money, she used it - just not for humanitarian aid. She used it for missionary work, which she saw as the ultimate in humanitarian aid. As a hardline Catholic she opposed abortion, female emancipation, and divorce. She would stealth baptise dying patients without their knowledge, understanding, or consent.

She's the textbook definition of an evil person who believes themselves to be good. In her eyes, everything was justified because she was saving souls and bringing people closer to God.

Good question is whether you'd consider her a hero or a villain in your campaign. She loved to "help" the dying by making them feel loved as she watched them die and didn't actually treat them with medical aid.

When she needed help, she went to USA and had proper doctors treat her.

>>49163730
Lawful Evil, if we're going by strict D&D defintions.

By theological definition... still evil. Jesus came and healed the sick and relieved the suffering. The true test of any CHRISTian is to emulate CHRIST. Suffering for one's faith and being steadfast in the plan of God is part of that, yes, but so is forgiving your enemy, helping the sick and poor be NOT SICK and NOT POOR (Jesus explicitly fed the poor and gave them food) and made no ethical or spiritual demands except that people follow him or his example.

>>49163740
>>hurr durr we have our own pope but he's not actually infallible, whoops
that actually sounds perfectly reasonable, a whole hell of a lot more than believing in an infallible mortal.

>>49163723
Because the Catholics give tradition as strong a weight as the Holy Bible itself, and tradition is made up by men many of whom were evil, it's a shitty state of affairs. I was exaggerating about Satan but Catholicism really fucked up.

Theresa was essentially a zealot. She believed strongly in her cause and thought it to be good, heedless of the reality of the situation. She was also hugely shameless in pulling publicity stunts and accepting money even from infamous criminals. So long as she could keep the holy suffering going, she would think herself good.

Perhaps her most lasting legacy are the people who still consider her a saint. People who casually mention Mother Theresa as if she's some paragon of good intention unlike Mr. Rodgers, the REAL incarnate paragon of good without reading into her actual history; the kinds of people that bought the very hype she was selling about herself without looking too closely at it.

No. If this thread triggers you then you can always hide it like a little bitch. The rest of us are mature enough to ignore those who don't contribute to a mature discussion, to accept valid arguments from the other side and switch sides if we can no longer defend our position.

The religion we're discussing is Catholocism, not Islam, so there's no need to self-censor.

>>49163763
They are pretty cool.
I recently went to an event where they had a sacred limb of a saint with my family.
One of the people guarding the mummified hand in all fancy clothes suddenly turned around and greeted my father.
Turns out he's a fellow astrophysicist and world class in the field of stellar dynamics.

In his free time he's one of the people who guard these holy relics.

Anyway my point was that only a catholic would say something as self obsessed that some other faith is heresy and the work of the personified devil.

>>49163955

Was sometimes the case, but was never really as bloody as westerns make it out to be. I mean, if things were THAT bad, who would ever want to set out for it? It was hard enough trying to live on the frontier, and they didn't need a bunch of people shooting other people and making it more difficult. And, well, the kinds of people who did go around murdering people ended up pretty swiftly being murdered themselves.

And systematically murdering everyone coming through your territory is pretty out there even for the frontier.

Good joke, anons, good joke.
You either believe in God (or Gods), or you don't.

Subjecting your personal beliefs to an arbitrary dogmatism inflicted by an institution that claims that it has some sort of "connection" to your personal God (which is yours and yours only, mind you) is extremely narrow-minded.

Jesus was all along in your heart. You must only realize it, and with it, find the divine within your soul.

Jesus isn't found in books, but in the world around you, for it's God's world.

Explore it. When you do, you'll find compassion, selflessness and wonder. Wonder towards creation, wonder towards the light each soul can nurture from a spark into a blinding radiance.

Then you'll have found your place in God's work and be at peace. Only then Jesus will truly be with you.

>>49165166
So many things are labelled gnosticism these days. AFAIK the only thing the gnostic sects had in common was the search for gnosis, the emphasis on the third-level part of a human being (the bit made of divine wisdom, sometimes the holy spark) which exists in all of us but must be cultivated to reach its full potential and set you on the path to become one with God.

>Whoa there son. God inspired the Bible. It's his Word passed down to us

Key word inspired, it's not infallible. It was an oral tradition passed down by a bunch of asshole raiders and sheep fuckers living in the desert, then co-opted by the Romans who imposed their own arbitrary definitions of what was or wasn't gospel on it. The Bible has been in flux since it was a concept, and has changed with every iteration and translation. It is not infallible.

People who treat religion as an instruction manual to follow by rote rather than a mirror we hold up to examine ourselves and our behavior are the problem.

>>49165128
How much do you know of the roots of Christendom?

Because I'll tell you this much, it was nothing like today's incarnation of it. Not the Catholics, Lutherans nor the Orthodoxy come even close.

Today's Christendom is nothing but a shadow, the mutated product of the men who interpreted Christ's vision for humanity; normally with the best of intentions I might add.

Unfortunately not all of them. There were a lot of wicked men with only their self-interest at heart. That is why in the modern world, there is no true Christendom.

That is why faith must be seeked, taken and defined on your own terms. Faith needs to be given form, individualized so that it may be at its truest, and with it, Cheistendom is reborn as it was meant to be.

>>49165260

>>49165221
>God inspired the Bible
There lies the key. Unlike Muslims', our Holy Book isn't the literal word of God. It has gone through unfathomable ammount of edits and translations. Things were taken out, things were taken in, some were attempted to be clarified to the point its now the product of man. The loose recollection of what we think we know of God, clouded by time.

It still holds truth if you are sharp enough to seize it, but the thing is, to this day, God still speaks to us. You must not let the Bible absorb you to the point you cannot hear His word, to the point you can't see the subtlety with which He manifests at the most crucial moments.

>>49165336
Are we still calling people who are angry against Christianity fedoras? A lot of them feel betrayed because they were never given any choice about what to believe, so they're revolting against what they've been told. Christians should be willing to listen to their concerns and help them work out how religion can work for them personally.

The Qu'ran was given to Mohammed by Gabriel but it was only compiled in written form a few years after his death by the first caliph.

There is always an Antichrist somewhere in the world; we just haven't reached the last one.

The Devil knows not the day nor the hour that judgement shall come, and so the parts and pieces of the apocalypse are always present, waiting for God's hand to set them in motion. The Devil is eager for the time of his promised dominion to come, because he still believes he can take the upper hand afterwards, so he is always trying to nudge the beginning of the end into motion.

>>49165645
That varies depending on the canon in question.

From an absolute unbiased "ignorant atheist who decided to take a careful read of the Bible" perspective, it's not strictly defined whether the Serpent in Eden, the Prosecutor who appears to Jesus in the desert, and the Beast of the End of Days are the same figure.
What is certain that the Serpent tempted Eve as an act against God, and the Beast acts in (proscribed) rebellion against God; both act in defiance of God's will first and foremost, though God permits their actions because they are part of the larger plan. While the Beast is indeed given dominion over the Earth by God's Word, the manner in which it does so is of its own volition. Since it seizes the opportunity to demand worship for itself, it clearly is not simply an obedient actor of God's will carrying out His plan.
The Prosecutor in the desert could go either way, depending on interpretation. At no point does he actually DO anything himself to violate God's will; he only advocates are argues.

The key traits of the general perception of The Devil are a combination of features from all three; the malevolent lord of evil (the Beast) who tempts into rebellion against God (the Serpent) but cannot force humans to do so (the Prosecutor).

While there is obvious similarity between the three that can support the interpretation that they are all Satan/Lucifer, the single entity, the Bible does not outright state anything to the effect of "Then came the Beast, who was Satan who rebelled, and the Serpent of Eden, and the tempter of Jesus."

Exactly. No-one cared enough to save their lives, or even if they were saved at all. Theresa certainly didn't care if they lived, since she had the means to save many of them and elected not to.

You know, I honestly think her agenda was good, but my justification comes from different point of view - let's call it greater good of society.
The ill and the miserable she cared for - even if they were to recover from their immediate ills, would never actually contribute to society, so it's better to let them die (preferably with at least a sliver of dignity) that to spend resources on prolonging their life.

So apparently medical treatment of perfectly treatable diseases is somehow "prolonging the suffering".

>the people of the lowest of the low should be able to live and live a life of destitute and to be ignored by there peers and to treated like shit by everyone else because they aren't the same caste and will never be able to get the help they need
Would you rather be given medicine and thrown out into the world afterwards and die because the organization has none left to give because it's overstuffed with people or would you rather die in comfort.
>>49169451
They aren't being treated you shit. It's a hospice, a place where you die in comfort.

>>49169445
>actually listening to the atheist shits who don't understand what a hospice is

>Would you rather be given medicine and thrown out into the world afterwards and die because the organization has none left to give because it's overstuffed with people or would you rather die in comfort.
Everyone in this world suffers, that doesn't mean they have no right to live. And even if they WOULD choose to die, that should be THEIR choice, not anyone else's.

Unlike some other "good" people...

>>49169625
So you would rather have them rot in the streets? The streets for which corpses rot and where people shit in? The fuck is wrong with you?

So pic related?

>>49169611
There is a difference between a hospice, and a hellhole dick wad.

>>49169653
Perhaps not, but it's THEIR choice to make. Not mine or anyone else's.

>>49169670
No, a hellhole is where the people are allowed to shit in the fucking streets and act like animals while you suffer.

This troll thread is insufficiently trolley to be any fun, needs more "Reminder that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist and no different from Anders Breivik so far".

>>49169684
And some choose to come to Theresa in there final hours to die in comfort. India is a shithole and the fact you want more the casteless to suffer is just immoral.

>>49163686
>>49163551


>believe blatantly crazy stuff, have blatantly crazy practices, and are an offshoot from an actually major religion, with your own fanfictions interspersed with it

believing that God and the afterlife exist is crazy, any religious practice is a crazy practice, and all holy texts are fanfiction

in my book Morms are exactly as weird as any other world religion, with the main difference being that the religion is effectively 180 years old as opposed to most world religions which are 1000+

weird? yeah, if you don't believe in them, then the claims of any religion are weird m. evil? nah, no way.

>>49169698
Have you ever seen a Mother Teresa hospice anon? They are hell holes of suffering.

What does it matter in the end? Everyone believes in something to help them get through the day, whether it be religion, moral objectivism, conformity, the tiny ember of hope that one day you'll get to live your dream of smashing someone's skull open against the corner of a building, post-scarcity, or even a technological singularity.

>>49169771
DELET THIS!
Megumin a pure!

>>49169784
So it's better for them to die in a the streets?
The streets for which people literally shit in because they're bull cow "god" told them too?

>>49169810
It's literally better for most of them to not have to die right then, which would have been simple to achieve with the resources she was given.

>>49169810
>>49169853
She spent that money on the church... not like for the church to do good works, but on top notch nunneries and shit for the priests.

>>49169853
If she gave them medicine, they would've been forced out afterwards. If they are forced out afterwards they would probably come back. If they came back, there wouldn't be enough to go around. So honestly, let them die. The casteless have a cruel life of mistreatment, so to them die in retaliative comfort is better than dying while another pajeet shits right next to you.

>>49169892
>the church should look ugly as sin
The Church is a temple, a temple shouldn't look disgusting.

>>49169771
>believing that God and the afterlife exist is crazy,
>99% of all humans who ever lived are crazy.
>reading from a book which you consider to be a good moral compass, and coming together with other people and trying to interpret it is a crazy practice.

Also, some claims from some religions are more believable than that special underwear is necessary for you because a man said so.

Don't tip that fedora too hard.

I'm surprised to see so much hate for modern Catholicism. Catholic clergy is at least consistently educated and has the capacity to debate and change with the times. Protestants, by contrast, appear to be uneducated shyster preachers who basically present their own opinions as god's word, and demand money and conformity under threat of hellfire. In terms of evil its analogous to comparing Wall Street to Somalia. Yeah, Catholics got some corrupt fuckers, but Protestantism is sort of just roving bands of batshit crazy bigots dictating incredibly short-sighted public policy.

And I say all this as a second generation atheist. Catholics by far seem like the lesser of evils. At least, I've always been able to have a sensible conversation about ethics and public policy with them that didn't evolve into flinging their poo and screaming a bunch like it does with the bible belt I grew up in.

>>49169919
How about the church look modest, and we spend the money on teaching people to fish for a lifetime, and other things that uplift rather then spend it on bling.

>>49169943
It's because most of the board is filled with atheists who like to make fun of the biggest Church because they can get away with it because of some of the shit that happens.

>>49169965
>How about the church look modest

>a place where the casteless are considered the lowest of the low where they can't get any help and won't be treated with any help because of there birth
You don't understand what the fuck you are talking about. This isn't like America, this isn't where you can pull the brass ring and run with it.

>>49169943
>catholic clergy is at least consistently molesting young boys
also protestants don't believe in hell anymore, it got phased out.

>>49169940
You don't anything about Catholocism.

>>49170011
Well, murrica is decent comparison actually because the poor don't get treated either.
There's difference in upward mobility though (or absence thereof).

>>49169892
And to put herself up in a top notch American hospital when she got ill.

>>49170031
That guy was talking about religion in general.
Lutherans and the reformed churches in general don't seem to have too many practices like are bullshit.
I once had a female pastor as my religion teacher.

Also in the post he replied to i specifically said that the catholics with their weird crazy beliefs and their weird crazy practices would be a cult were they not one of the major religious groups on the planet.
Mormons however are a tiny minority, and only popular in one tiny part of the world (western US) and have practices and beliefs at least as crazy as catholics.

So putting them on the same level as catholics is not correct.

>>49170079
In India, you don't get that. In India you are stuck with that caste and you ain't moving. So those of the lowest of the low, they are again, treated like shit.
So again, would you rather die in the streets or die in relative comfort.
>>49170099
There is literally nothing wrong with going to a hospital.

>>49170024

It's being found out (At least in Aus from what I've seen) that the Anglicans have been just as bad as the Catholics on that front. It's more a 'People in general have been really shit about dealing with that until recently' than specifically a catholic thing.

>>49170011
They sure as shit weren't getting fucking treatment with her.

>>49170150
We aren't talking about treatment. We are talking about letting them die in comfort.

>>49170124
It makes you a hypocrite when you go around saying shit like:

>"Suffering, pains sorrow, humiliation, feelings of loneliness, are nothing but the kiss of Jesus, a sign that you have come so close that He can kiss you."

>>49170177
Letting them die from the treatable illnesses her foundation had the resources to treat.

>>49170178
Okay, let me put this in laymans turns for you.
Does a person who owns a hospice as a charity use it or should they go to a hospital because they can afford it.
These people, who went there to die, wanted to die in comfort.
>>49170194
But they would run out of the resources and they would have to turn them away.

>>49169943

Lumping together all Catholics and all Protestants into two groups is not correct.

There are various orders of Catholics who are pretty left-wing and not assholes and Protestants gets you shit like Unitarians and Quakers, who are also pretty left-wing and not assholes about it.

>>49169943
>Catholics can consistently speak about ethics
>Invested hundreds of thousands of not millions into protecting child molesters
They have been kinda OK in the past decade though, so it's all cool.

>>49170217
Why? Because you say so?

Eat fucking dogshit. Holy fuck, I hope to the divine you're just being a trolling shithead, because I'm actually mad and horrified at what a fucking monster you are.

>>49170217
I see. We can't save all the starfish, so we shouldn't save any of them.

>>49170217
YOU FUCKING NIGGER

THEY WENT TO HER BECAUSE SHE FUCKING PROMISED TREATMENT AND THEN LET

THEM
FUCKING

DIE

YES I FUCKING MAD

>>49170217

The problem with MT is that she was hospicing people when they were savable, and didn't give people the option to use the good stuff pain managementwise.

Her being a hippo crate only makes the ideal treatment of the dying explicitly part of her life story.

If she was committed to applying the same principles to herself, it wouldn't justify her actions.

>>49170236
You do realize that the protestants do that more, correct?
>>49170246
Why do you support people dying in the streets you mad little shit? Why are you a fedora tipping atheist that lives in the west and acts like he knows what goes on in different countries.
>>49170267
She did treat them. What she did was treat them with kindness.

>>49170246
It's actually a severe misunderstanding of how shit the rest of the world is, and lording over decisions using hindsight and a greater education.

>>49170267

For all the MANY controversies about her, her claiming to be able to cure them isn't really one of them.

Her houses were always known as houses of the dying/hospice care.

>>49170289
>when they were savable
Their caste makes it so they weren't fucking savable. This isn't a fucking hospital, it's a place where you die.
>If she was committed to applying the same principles to herself
Which she doesn't, given how she doesn't follow Hindu shit where it's legal for a grown man to shit in the streets because of the fact they are of low standing. She can afford it.

>>49170289
>hippo crate
my sides have reached escape velocity

>>49170315
>You do realize that the protestants do that more, correct?
Why would this matter?

>>49170315
I hope you take a bullet to the gut, and die slowly, screaming as the shit leaks into your bloodstream.

You fucking subhuman filth.

>>49170135
This. Don't kid yourself- there are plenty of protestant kiddie fuckers. Its just that when Pastor Dan from Arkansas of the 132nd Baptist River Church camp fucks children, it doesn't make national news because the 132nd Baptist church only has 12 members and only exists in Klanville AR.

Everybody knows what Catholics are- stories about them are interesting. Protestants are basically individuals claiming tax exemptions to be a professional bigot. If one of them is shitty, its hardly news.

>>49170024
>protestants don't believe in hell anymore
Like fuck they don't. That's the thing about protestants- nobody organizes them. They believe whatever the fuck they want. Fire and brimstone is still plenty popular.

>>49170315
>You do realize that the protestants do that more, correct?
They get caught more often. That might indicated they do it more often, yes. It might also indicate they are not so good at hiding it.

>>49170405
>That's the thing about protestants- nobody organizes them.
Sounds a lot like Islam right now to be honest.
>>49170402
I'm literally begging you to stop being an edgy faggot and realize that the world is a fucked up place and that being an ideological shitter only hurts more.
>>49170418
>It might also indicate they are not so good at hiding it.
Are you saying they should be hiding more of them? What the fuck is wrong with you? Why do you support child molesters? Fucking sicko.

>>49170418
well, protestants don't have a giant world-spanning monolithic church that covers up crimes their priest commit, that relocates pedophiles while telling the kids that god will hate them if they tell their parents. Might be that.

>>49170455
>Fucking sicko.
>where do you think you are.jpg

>>49170455

You are literally saying that people shouldn't expect their donations to charity to actually do something that they donated for, when you ask people to not be idealistic.

Why didn't Mother Theresa use her position to speak out against the cultural institution of the caste system?

>>49170489
You're right. They have local converts where they can say whatever the fuck and tell them if you don't give pastor Johnny B. Pedophile a blowjob you're going straight to hell.
>>49170493
A place where it doesn't support actual child molesters.
Because that's a sin. A deep sin. And it turns a child away from God.

>>49170515
>You are literally saying that people shouldn't expect their donations to charity to actually do something that they donated for
But it was doing something. It was helping those who were dying to feel comfort.
>>49170517
Because why the fuck would anyone listen to a Catholic nun in a country where they believe in many gods? Also she would've most likely been martyred.

She didn't even try. In fact, I think that the fact that untouchables existed at all was very heartwarming for Mother Teresa.

"Devil's advocate".

>>49170585
Not the guy you replied to but if it's actual rape, and a person who is supposed to speak gods word on earth does something as awful as that you bet your ass that that will have consequences for how much you wish to associate with anything that person associated with.

>>49170455
>Sounds a lot like Islam right now to be honest.
Yes/no. I agree and also disagree.

ISIS is organizing Islam. The Islamic state is based on the idea of reestablishing the caliphate- someone who is a blood descendant of the prophet Muhammed and sort of like a pope of Islam.

However its also a tenant of Islam that there is no professional clergy. Anybody can call the faithful to prayer. Anybody can read scripture aloud in a mosque. The idea that every man should become literate and read the Quran from himself (Martin Luther's contribution to Christianity) was there from the start.

Nonetheless there arose defacto priests of Islam called Imams, or "scholars". Basically they just had enough money and free time they could become experts on the subject and have lengthy philosophical discussions about scripture all day. People look to them for wisdom, and they effectively became clerical figures and shaped the dogmatic schisms that followed, such as that between Sunni and Shia.

According to the Quran, given a fundamentalist reading, its actually blasphemy to recognize "states" at all. The "islamic state" is really a declaration that no borders exist in the world- only those who follow the prophet and those that need to die. The only law is Sharia law- all other laws are heresy, including laws specifying territory. And the Caliph is the somewhat meaningless enforcer of this law, which is self-evident.

To be clear- this is all insane bullshit to me. Just regurgitating what intel I've managed to gather on the situation.

>>49170635
I'm not making threats, you fucking retard. I'm stating my legitimate hope.

That you die. That you fucking goddamn die. Right now I'm wishing this with every fiber of my being, you goddamn monster.

>>49170651
Not true. While it might have been sour, it was something that people drank just fine on the regular, and all agree that it was meant a comfort.

>>49170635
>>49170567
>2d isn't real so it's fine.
I personally think rape of any kind is extremely tasteless.
Which is not to say that all sexual contact with people under an arbitrary age is awful, but what those priests did that was awful.

>>49170654

>>49170489
There's a 39 billion dollar sex slave industry in the United States. By comparison, the drug trade is only 21 billion. Most of this is not kidnapping. Much of it is foreigners being brought here. But that which is domestic is mostly parents pimping their children in small rural communities that are tight knit enough that no action is done.

Who keeps the community tight knit? I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count.

How is there dignity when you get murdered by a bullet by someone you didn't see nor hear?

>>49170916
So now you're arguing that they were no better off than when they were dying in the streets.

>>49170940
>rather than looking absolutely fab when you reach the Pearly Gates

https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2013/04/mother-teresa-and-her-critics

I think many of you guys need to read this. Most of the critics on this thread are blatant lies forged by a guy that never interviewed anyone that was directly concerned.

>>49170969
How the fuck did you get that?
No, it's better to die and to be fed than to die in the shitting streets.

>>49170757
I think its a very Kantian sentiment he is espousing here. That it is wrong to use people. And she did use them to advance her career. Shameless publicity stunts and all that.

It might be more justifiable if it were an informed choice on behalf of those she "helped". That is, if you explained that this is what you get (a place to die, no medical treatment, no pain meds, a hard bed even though I can afford better because I believe suffering is good for you in an abstract sense) and this is what I get (money from people around the world to pay for my room, board, personal expenses, my medical expenses) and the people giving me the money have had a clear explanation of how I will use their money (that is, they do not believe it will be used for your medical expenses, they understand it will be used for my personal expenses so that I can help you find Jesus on your cold hard deathbed), then the transaction would be acceptable. Every party would be fully informed, making deliberate choices based on that information, and nobody would be being used as a means to an end by a nefarious actor.

In order for Mother Theresa to in fact be a saint, and not a fraud, you must demonstrate either
1) That the majority of patients and donors understood her operation.
OR
2) That it is ethically permissible to deceive or permit deception and use people to attain an end that many of them would find deplorable.

Your move, Catholic.

>>49170969
I'm arguing that while it might have been possible to save them, them dying in pain in a clean place with nice people around was better than them dying in pain in dirt with everyone ignoring them.

And while MT didn't cure them, she also didn't cause their wounds.

>>49170968

>moves the goal posts

Martyrdom is always beautiful.

And what greater cause could there be than to help make so many souls to be treated with dignity in this mortal life.

>>49171007
>2) That it is ethically permissible to deceive or permit deception and use people to attain an end that many of them would find deplorable.
Yup. If it's a step up from literally nothing than it's better.

>>49170968
Because you lived a forthright life and died for a cause that was good and that you believed in?

>>49170994
Damn, good point.

>>49171007
>OR
>2)
OR
3)
That Mother Theresa herself was not doing a deliberate operation and did herself not know of this transaction you speak of and only acted in her best intentions.

You assuming that everyone is just fuelled by personal gain is a very weird approach to things.

Well we keep listing the bad shit she was doing and you keep saying "well that would have happened anyway" like it somehow absolves her of any responsibility. As if she didn't have the means or the will to do better than what the streets gave them.

She literally doesn't. You're asking for a Hospital when it's a hospice.

>>49171107
Electronic old men

>>49171113
She could have built a hospital rather than a hospice.

>>49171140
And been killed for helping the poor.

>>49171153
That would have been particularly Christly of her, yes.

>>49171140

She didn't really have the doctors for a Hospital. That's one of the major issues she had, that she had almost no one available that was actually a medical doctor.

>>49171140
Out of all the criticisms directed against mother Teresa, this is by far the most retarded. The Catholic Church has been running both hospices and hospitals for centuries. She simply opted to run a hospice. If you were consistent in your criticism, then it'd mean there'd be no (Catholic run) hospices at all.

>>49171171
And she would of died by the government of India because she could've been seen as a threat.

>>49171153
By literally who? Who is this strange sociopath who exists in this weird in-between where they would kill someone for helping the poor, but says "well, I guess it's alright if they just wash them up a bit but do nothing else"? Fuck, is it you?

>>49171183
As I understand it, she took in people into her hospice that could have been treated at a hospital. The counterargument is that they would have then gone back into the same conditions that made them sick, which is very true, but then when it is asked why she did not then address those very conditions of poverty and suffering, the counterargument is that she "would have been killed" by some strange force, possibly the Indian government, because they don't like political reformists or something and murder all of them.

The real issue is not that she ran a hospice when she should have run a hospital, it's that the "hospice" she ran did nothing to alleviate the suffering of the dying, but instead glorified it.

The "Well they're dying anyway" argument is bordering on advocating mass murder.

>>49171234
>>Islamic militants
they kill anyone given the opportunity, so that does not really count

>>49171049
Well, therein lies the dispute. Deontology is the enemy of Utilitarianism. Ends justify the means people are notoriously bad at actually doing the utilitarian calculus properly, but I suppose in this case you have the advantage of not attempting secular utilitarianism which requires the desires of the parties involved to be the only metric by which the sum is counted. The introduction of a metaphysical god whose weight is literally infinite does tip the scales a great deal.

The problem you now face is a sort of nihilistic rules of nature. You see, you must either convince us that MT's actions justified the deception, and that the utility of all involved was improved even by a secular standpoint, or you fall back on the metaphysical "I win the argument because of god" button. However, the goal here is ostensibly to convince us to respect MT, and the god button will not suffice unless we already agreed with you. Her actions can be internally justified but do not merit our respect.

So, the burden now falls on you to justify in secular utilitarian terms how MT's actions provided the greatest good for the greatest number, where good is defined as satisfying the desires of each party involved.

I assert that MT did not satisfy the desires of the donors. Therefore there is a negative utility that must be overcome.

Furthermore, she openly espoused a practice of encouraging suffering. Would the caste-less, given the informed choice, have chosen suffering over less suffering? I find that claim implausible, and you will need strong evidence to back it up.

Assuming MT provided extremely minimal comfort (because she endorses suffering) as opposed to no comfort at all, you can claim a technical positive utility, but this is still in conflict of the negative utility of the donors not getting what they wanted. Therefore the net utility is negative, and MT is judged as just another selfish charity that took from the rich, and gave 99cents of every dollar to herself.

She literally couldn't because there wouldn't be any doctors to help.
God I hope you actually believe in Mary too, or I think you might be a retard.

>>49171302
You don't need to be a doctor to run proper hospice care. You just need morphine. God knows she got enough money to afford morphine.

>>49171302
That seems like a pretty infantile dismissal. She had international fame, but instead of directing the attention to the plight of the sick in Calcutta, she instead opted to talk about how abortion and contraceptives were bad.

>>49171068
You're alleging MT was ignorant of why donors were giving her funds, and that her actions were the result of stupidity and negligence rather than malice?

That merits forgiveness, but not respect. A neutral character, but certainly not a good one.

>>49171295
Look, buddy. Why do you want them to die in the streets you jackass?

You mean the Church? Because MT gave the money to the Church. Why do you hate the Church?

Yes. They are bad. You are literally murdering a child you godless heathen.

>Why do you want them to die in the streets you jackass?
False dichotomy.

>I didn't know Christ asked for anything to take away the pain while he was on the cross.
He may not have asked but Longinus did it for him anyway. Stabbed him in the side to make sure Jesus was dead before the other Romans started breaking bones.

The point is that ISN'T what she was doing. She was glorifying their suffering without doing a damn thing to ease the pain.

Giving them food and shelter isn't easing anyone's pain?
So would you rather have them be in the streets rotting with the shit?
>>49171464
This isn't an argument.

>>49171439
No, we're arguing that someone in the position to save people should instead of watching them suffer because she gets off on it.

In a utilitarian sense, MT pulled money away from far more effective organizations in terms of feeding the poor or end-of-life care, even in terms of strict numbers. One might say that the money that was donated to MT might not have been donated otherwise, but then many of those more effective organizations were themselves Christian (if not Catholic; see Assemblies of God in India) and may have captured even a part of those donations to greater effect.

Neither is saying someone is a nu-male atheist cuckold.

There was literally no difference between them suffering and dying in the shit-filled streets and them suffering and dying in the plague-ridden hellholes she put them in. Not for the dying, anyway. The only difference was that in the latter scenario, a sadist gets called a saint and both she and the Catholic Church make bank on donations.

You should, if your argument is that MT was "better than nothing" if it is plausible that her doing nothing could have actually been better.

>>49171353
>MT gave the money to the Church

Donors give money thinking they are helping the poor. That money is used to buy a fancy jeweled hat for the Pope. The donors have therefore been deceived, and MT is therefore a con woman.

I don't actually hate Catholics. I'm the guy arguing they're better than Protestants tenfold. Who are better than Islam a hundred fold. But taking money from people under false pretenses and spending it somewhere else is shady, and in most countries illegal.

>>49171295
>requires the desires of the parties involved to be the only metric by which the sum is counted.
The parties had two choices.
a) die on the streets in pain
b) die in a hospice well fed in pain
There were no other options and other desires are meaningless, because no one was ready to fulfill other desires.

Option b) is not the objectively best someone could have done, but it is probably the best MT thought could be done, because she is not a perfectly rational thinker.

Also please tell me how the donors thought that she did anything apart from what she actually did. There was nothing to prove that she did anything but what she did and she did not lie about it either.

>>49171532
>She literally didn't have anything to give other than food, water (not filled with shit) and a place of comfort for them.

That was by choice because she sure as hell had enough money to get what she needed to save people, or at the very least give them effective end of life care.

>>49169194
Okay, but if there's no ultimate being, can there be any ultimate law? And if so, I'm pretty hyped to go axe murder some people- no laws can constrain me

And with that we are back at utilitarian zero from which point on the "slightly less suffering of dying well fed in pain instead of starving, in shit and in pain" part is a positive merit making her good, and better than anyone else at that time.

>>49171565

Bullshit, Popes are using the same fancy hat for decades.

She is not. She gave them food and a shelter. If you would rather have them rot next to shit, be my guess and believe it.

And it was given to the Church.
Maybe if these pagans actually believed in God maybe she wouldn't of let them die. Huh.

>>49171502
>MT pulled money away from far more effective organizations in terms of feeding the poor or end-of-life care,
What other organizations were doing what she did?
Because to my knowledge there were none. She got all this attention precisely because she cared about those other's didn't care about.
Even if her care was "less than ideal".

Hopefully not what she did. In any case, they could have given to any number of Dalit political organizations that were and are against the caste system, and moving forward in time there were a number of charities and development aid groups like the Jesuit societies in India, or even to the earlier-founded Indian Red Cross.

That's Fornication.

>>49172214
...
Abortion is ending an already developing life, which cannot be justified except if an already established life is in danger.
Any contraceptives and arguably even the morning after pill end something that is not yet developing into a new organism, because that only really starts when the egg is fertilized and getting nutrients to develop from the mother.

>>49172449
You're also wasting sperm if you DON'T jack off, because then you're going to end up with nocturnal emissions.

>>49172453
No.
It's sinful for a woman to be pregnant without a husband.
Chasity is the only thing that is good.

>>49172485
...so if the woman isn't pregnant because the not-husband pulled out, why is that bad again?

>>49172485
lol yeah but if you're married and using the pull out method you're killing children the same way that contraceptives do. it's like like you put on a condom then impale the child. it prevents the birth then the egg is removed from the body using the period. if you're having sex with your partner but not having children that's sinful. and if we used this method of thinking then we'd not be in touch with our bodies at all and be mindless christdrones with shit art. or be so over populated that we have to kill each other off every few seconds.
just because you're a pathetic virgin doesn't make that the moral state to be.

>>49172552

Maybe things would be different if people gave money towards ending a condition instead if glorifying and perpetuating it.

> no
>don't move forward in time after SHE started a trend.
Why not? You first have to make and defend the claim that she was responsible for those future organizations, then make a case for why you shouldn't give money to more effective options as they become available.

> who were not helping out more than she was otherwise they could've used literally the same strategy to get attention.
I don't think the Red Cross really digs the whole "let people wallow in suffering until they die beautifully" deal.
