No he's not. He's not pathetically disgusting. He's doing the best he can with the tools he has.
Religion, for me, isn't important. Knowing God, is.
Life (and Death) are full of ironies. Mother Teresa is sure praying for the mercy of his soul. But one knows God except by His teachings and this He has commissioned to his Apostles and the Church He founded. To say, religion isn’t important but knowing God is, makes for an irresolvable albeit convenient contradiction as each person reserves the right to interpret according to one’s own preferences. Why not simply follow the practice of the early Apostles, disciples, and Church fathers?
