Anybody up there?
"God, please forgive me. When I try to raise my thoughts to heaven, there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives and hurt my soul. I am told God loves me, and yet the reality of darkness and coldness and emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul. Did I make a mistake in surrendering blindly to the call of the sacred heart?"
– Mother Teresa’s letter to Jesus.
“Crisis of faith,” they write…about Mother Teresa? I have gone through my own crises of faith – from being religious to being an atheist, from following spiritual leaders to being an agnostic, from experimenting to blindly accepting…you pick a point in the spectrum, I’ve parked my slider there. Sometimes I wonder if faith is necessary, or you merely follow your calling. Does it matter? I think not. Not if you’re Mother Teresa. Not if you’ve put humanity above all your beliefs, and notions of the maker/the intelligent designer/the supernatural.

Long time, pal.
IBN Live had a super shitty piece (keeping with the tradition of churning out crock after crock of BS) called Mother Teresa: Human or Saint? And mind you, it was not said in a non-derogatory way. I think I should direct Sagarika Ghose and her cronies to this post.
How've you been? A hi to TF as well :).
You pick a point in the spectrum, I've parked my slider there... Well said.
