Although I have English Parents, I was born in India and came to England when I was 5 years old. I was a Catholic ( Now an atheist) and went to a Catholic School in Sheffield run by Nuns. Because my skin was a little browner than most as I had been in India with a hot sun, and a slightly tainted accent, I was a johnny Foreigner to the Nuns and was treated as such.
I remember how, with some glee on the nuns faces, how I was singled out for anything that happened that didnt agree with them, even if I was in another room at the time. How happy they were when they admonished me for someone elses crime and made me stand up on the desk with my short pants on and then whipped me with their thick belts , just behind the knee. They were one or two nuns who were nice, especially sister Cecilia, but most of them were cruel, wanton and enjoyed any form of physical punishment.

My experience with nuns has left me with complete distrust for these species who, like priests, are spongers of God in my eye. When have you seen a poor priest in England? My local chap across the road has a house and a new car every year, this years model is a brand new Audi, parked in his detached 4 bedroomed house. He doesnt pay for anything. Because the Church is a very rich employer. In fact the richest Employer in the land. The Catholic Church is the richest in the World.....after all they have trillions of taken in fools, donating money on a daily basis to 'cleanse' their souls. Money buys anything!

Talking to first hand individuals who came into contact with Mother Teresa, they have no good things to say about her. She was very cruel, turned on the charm if cameras were in sight, and was a formidable money grabber. Out of hours she turned anyone in trouble away from her doors and wouldnt help them, she re-used needles countless number of times on different patients and I am sure a lot died of diseases she gave them by being this mean, despite having millions in the bank.
And when she was ill she went to the best clinics in Switzerland to heal herself, all on the donations given by well meaning kind hearted benefactors.

Although I never met her, one cant ignore all the proof circulating about her, there is no flames without a formidable fire. I am sure she also did good as some carefully selected patients in her clinic benefitted, but it was very selective and if you didnt fit in with her ideals, you were out.

In this day and age, shouldnt we give up this ridiculous idea of sainthood ? Its something that was invented by man to increase the profitability from easily taken in fools and the extremely gullible.

Leave the woman in peace now, she is dead and thats that and if Albania want her body back, let them have it. She was not an Indian and if anything took full advantage of her foreign status to elevate herself beyond what she could have in her native country.

Perhaps all the millions that were donated can now be used to bring the clinic to a modern upto date one and actually take all that come there and not selectively.

I know what I have written wont appeal to a lot of people, however it is based on my own experiences and viewpoints and I dont want to offend the good people who need religion and the beliefs it teaches you, which in some instances are excellent. There is no other medium that teaches morals on a superior basis as religion.....but not all of them.
