Re: Just a little "fundamentalist" Anglophilia lamentation
possibly India could have evolved into something similar to Canada or Australia in their relations with their conquerors.
I have trouble deciding if you are truly this ignorant or just a troll.
Do you have any idea what relationship the native people have with their conquerors in Canada and Australia? That you could even make such a a statement is astounding in its idiocy.
Also, to equate the culture of the Indian Subcontinent with the cultures of the stone age people in Australia and the Americas is just stupid and ignorant.

Re: Just a little "fundamentalist" Anglophilia lamentation
Also, the people in the Indian subcontinent were arguably more advanced in many ways than the British conquerors.
The native peoples of Canada and Australia were stone age cultures. To imply that the Indians should have acted like the peoples of Canada and Australia to the British incursion is just the height of ignorance. Evidently non-biblical, non-European and non-US history is not taught in the fundieworld.
Faith -
You might want to take a look at the history of India before the arrival of the British East India Company. It was a very highly culture.
Also, India was not conquered by the British company but by a private British company.

Re: Class distinctions, poverty, materialism, quality of life
Right, the British were exactly the same as, oh, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Hitler, and all the other conquerors of other peoples. Nothing but looting and pillaging, raping and murdering. Right.
You will always be ignorant if you don't follow peoples suggestions to learn about the subjects you woefully attempt to post on. I told you earlier that the British takeover of India was not a military takeover by the Brit government. It was done by the British East India Company.
Read some damn history before you spout of about things you know nothing about.

Re: Class disctinctions, poverty, materialism, quality of life
Mother Theresa is more than a hero in my view.
Mother Teresa was no hero. She loved the poverty not the poor. He actions caused more problems than they solved.
Oh she was a liar too.
Here is just one account of the "true" Mother Teresa.
Mother Teresa
A quick search will show up many more criticism of her.
To glorify oneself on the misery of others is a vile thing. If there is a hell there is a special place reserved for people like her.
I realize this is off topic and I am very sorry. I just could not let this pass without comment.

Re: Class disctinctions, poverty, materialism, quality of life
Really? Really?
That is what you got out of that whole thing?
We will all believe what we want to I guess.
This is absolutley precious.
The difference between people like you and I is that I am willing to do research to see what is the reality. You on the other hand seem to be willing to accept thing unquestioningly.
As I said before, do some research. I think you may be a little disappointed in your "hero". That was just the first link I found on a quick search. There are many more.
Oh by the way are you accusing the good Father of lying or the person reporting it? If you want I am sure I could find the text of the actual sermon.

Re: Class disctinctions, poverty, materialism, quality of life
I looked on many sites to substantiate this and all of the sites refuted it.
Many sites? Really?
How about a transcription from the recordings from the church?

Transcribed by Ron McCloskey from the "St. Agnes Cassettes" recording.

Another priest lying?
OH and looks like quite well documented.
note: Fr. Emerson of the Fraternity of St. Peter was also a witness to this statement by Mother Teresa).

I think the point was, to the degree that she was able, to stop people from dying alone and unloved.
Fuck that. She made them suffer needlessly for her own greater glory. To make this response to what Crash posted is mind boggling and disgusting.

Re: Class disctinctions, poverty, materialism, quality of life
The quotes give nothing of the context.
Context?
