Interesting that the Mother Theresa critics quoted in this article didn't bring up her ties to the Duvalier family, and her endorsement of them.
The Duvaliers were one of the reasons that Haiti now rots in poverty.

I can’t think of a LESS polarizing figure than Mother Teresa.
To: NYer
I find it interesting that atheists always seem to snipe at those who do good, while failing to do good themselves.

Given their history, one would tend to believe that the FFRF is populated by nothing more than a bunch of whiny, immature adolescents who have nothing better to do than to make other people’s lives as miserable as their own.

A prominent atheist organization in America
is attacking Mother Teresa as unworthy
of being honored with a memorial stamp
But The PofshitOTUS is deserving of the Peace Prize
Mother Teresa gave her life
to help those who could not help themselves

If yodeling cowboys and black athletes merit stamps,
then so does Mother Theresa... unless the problem is
that she wasn’t a U.S. citizen. Can non-Americans
be portrayed on U.S. postage?
To: NYer
Notice that the article makes careful purpose not to give a name associated with the FFRF.
Lighten up. What atheist group has done more to bring attention to and relief for world?

It would be interesting to know what deep inner failure of the mental apparatus inspired the leftists to fight this stamp.

“Everything I Know About Mother Teresa I Learned From Christopher Hitchens”. Required reading in some circles apparently.

“Polarizing Roman Catholic figurehead”????? They’re right on three of the four counts, but aside from a handful of loudmouth bedwetters, who finds Mother Teresa “polarizing?”

Just a reminder to everyone: most atheists do not belong to any sort of organization, and these organizations do not represent the views of most atheists. This atheist, for one, certainly thinks that Mother Teresa is deserving of being honored on a stamp.

What I would like to know is by what view of reality and knowledge these atheists presume that there is anything like an objective criterion of value by which to find Mother Teresa as "unworthy of being honored".
In a universe where there is supposedly, "at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind pitiless indifference", as Dawkins put it, what grounds do they have for presupposing and asserting non-material values (ideals of "worth" and "honor") in a valueless, materialistic universe that is the result of nothing but time and chance, and blind to values?
Why should anybody take their arbitrary and inconsistent neurological reactions (which on their own account are nothing but the result of time plus chance) as if they amounted to anything at all, much less anything rational?
Cordially,
