Bad role models
Mother Theresa- she befriended the savage dictator of Haiti, Mr. Duvalier- he stole money from the Haitian people, then gave some cash to Mother Theresa. She built only a few hospices, and none of them were in Haiti. She spent most of her donated money on nunneries and churches. The Vatican could make amends to the Haitians by cutting them a check, but so far nothing has been done.
Mother Theresa accepted money that Charles Keating stole from investors (remember the "Keating five"?)- none of which was ever returned.
Inside Mother Theresa's (few) hospices nuns were instructed to be cold and aloof. Dying patients were denied visits from relatives.
Mother Theresa devised a cult of pain and suffering- she thought other peoples suffering allowed her to achieve a special insight into the passion of Christ- so she did not want to end poor peoples misery- if she did that, she would be denied the enlightenment she sought.
She refused to provide the sick with the comforts that would make their dying easy-instead, she spent money on empty churches....her patients did not even have normal beds, they slept upon flimsy cots, and had to relieve themselves in full view of everyone else at a public toilet.
Mother Theresa's actions probably killed millions of people, and resulted in the needless misery of millions more.
The Dalai Lama-(the dollar Lama?) he escaped Tibet in 1959 with the help of the CIA, and he was on their payroll for years. They even gave him money to set up guerrilla training camps in Colorado, to try to eventually topple the Chinese in Tibet.
Tibet before the Communist takeover was a brutal,feudal, elitist society- there was a tiny minority of aristocratic monks living in luxury lording over the majority peasants. If the poor disobeyed, they often had their hands cut off, or their eyes gouged out.
The Chinese communists took over the country in 1959, and gave the Tibetans education, healthcare,electricity, and plumbing.
The Dalai Lama offers trite sayings and aphorisms to ignorant Hollywood stars and the world, and he seeks a return of the absolute monarchy/dictatorship he lost in the Himalayas.
