"You quote a long tract from Hitchens attacking Mother Teresa. Why do you believe it?"

I have no opinion on it one way or the other. This is not about me and what I believe.

You are the one that used the word "hypocrite" to describe Hitchens.

In the excerpts I provided, Hitchens portrayed contradictory behaviors by various people.

The names of the people involved aren't important.

My question to you was, and is, what word would you use to define such behaviors -- if they indeed did occur as he stated? That's all.

Yes. Exactly.

My question to you was, and is, what word would you use to define such behaviors -- if they indeed did occur as he stated?

The more important question to me is what if they didn't. What if they are exaggerations, taken out of context, or made up entirely?

And what if the teller of these things -- who also is attempting to destroy a reputation -- claimed to be a man of truth and a lover of people?
