Ghandi and Mother Teresa selfish? How?
1. Mother Teresa was anti women - spent her lifetime campaigning against woman's rights issues (right to seek divorce in an abusive relationship, the right of body aka abortion). She was selfish in that she only cared about her ministry - bragging about converting and manipulating people on their deathbeds. Contrary to popular belief, she spent much of her time hobnobbing with with rich and elite in India - spent little time with the poor. She was corrupt - took money and donations from several criminals and conartists - even used her influence to defend them in court. She opposed condoms in the age of AIDS. Despite raising millions of dollars, he orphanages and homes for the elderly and poor were in horrific conditions. I could go on for a month but do your homework. She was anything but a saint.

2. Ghandi - preached a life of celibacy but was a sex addict. Slept naked with his great grandaughter and great grandson's wife. He is known for psychologically abusing his wife. He was generally speaking a misogynist. He's a lawyer...doesn't that say enough about his character, lol. Again, I could go on...

That's very interesting. I would like to read more of their dark side. Any suggestions where I can find these facts?

What you say about Ghandi is consistent with things I read before.

The Mother Theresa parts seem in part her religious beliefs which are hard to categorize as "selfish". Other parts seem in a very different context than I have heard from others who knew her to significant degrees.

Most of the things you state about mother Teresa is her religious beliefs.
I don’t know anything about the orphanages she kept. From what I know mother Teresa never lived the life of luxury. Doesn’t make sense that she didn’t give all
The donations to her orphans.

She was a zealot, no different in her delusional beliefs than any radical jihad muslim group. She obviously never tried killing people for her religion. Make no mistake, she put her religious beliefs before human rights.

Your post says a lot about you.

"Delusional" only means you don't share the same religious beliefs. If you don't share them, that does not make them radical. Most would indeed see a jihadist as radical. Even the majority of Muslims I know think the Taliban radical. But that word seems out of place with many other religious believers I disagree with. I do not believe in the thousands of gods my Hindu coworker believes in, but I do not think him "radical".

Just what makes a religious belief radical, or a believer a zealot in your mind?

I also probably have a disagreement with you about "human rights". I think the vast majority of people would agree "life" is a human right--with some quibbling about capital punishment. But is monogamy a universally accepted human right? No. Abortion? No. On and on. So what is it that you hold against her because her religious beliefs do not ling up with your beliefs? I am trying to see "selfish" in that?

Another question I have is what you guys are telling younger kids, under 10? My area is still very low for infections, and neighborhood kids are still playing together constantly, but the parents are all talking about pulling back, and how to tell their kids without scaring the piss out of them.
My kid is hilarioius. She's not scared at all and just enforces handwashing at home 'so you don't get coronavirus'. I overheard him playing with his action figures saying that they were uniting to take Iron Man to the hospital to get a coronavirus test. Most kids are tougher and less scared than we give them credit for.

You know the self quarantining is getting to people when a thread topic on a whoreboard gets sidetracked with Mother Teresa bashing.
Back to the original question, hopefully the worst will be over in several weeks (but wtf do I know), until then stay safe people
I think that the problem is that C19 has caused an epidemic of the old Hawaiian disease, Lakanooki.

ok my mind is open, please cite your sources about his obvious agenda, which you still haven't revealed
I've read a couple of his own books, and that big biography that came out. Dont recall reading much negative stuff. Not that he would say bad things about himself, but there wasnt anything to criticize in terms of his own beliefs. If anything, he wasnt pushy enough. He's on my all time "nice guy" list.

Sounds like you are describing the religious zealots in this country who used to be called the moral majority spouting their religious right wing BS and espousing intolerance, bigotry, homophobia, etc.
Another ignorant post on here but I truly hope no one is on here to be enlightened
