...always appeared to me that deeply religious people use their faith to explain away the horrors and inequities of the human experience. Believing that everything is part of God's master plan affords them the complacency of accepting the most terrible of tragedies. It is with the deepest respect that I read about the struggle of the real Mother Teresa, who, it now appears, had no such crutch. This was a person who soldiered on because she was a good and caring human helping her fellow man endure senseless suffering. If there is a God, Teresa is sitting...
...pastor and servant of Jesus Christ, I had a strong response to the exposé. It is unbelievable that the Roman Catholic Church would not respect Teresa's wishes to keep her personal struggles confidential. In my 30 years of serving, I have had many similar crises of faith.

"New money typically wants glory. And there's plenty of new money here. With all due respect to this great city and this great culture, the reason to make movies here - it's the money." Just then, one of the Russian grips goes over the edge of drunkenness, proceeding to attack a nearby parked car. Several of his colleagues attempt to restrain...
...Bhutto, what is your response? This deal is a very awkward thing for Musharraf and the United States and for all parties. It will tarnish the reputation of America. Musharraf has just gone against the constitution and displayed contempt of court and has shown that he has no respect for the rule of law. American intervention in respect to a deal is going to tarnish the U.S. It won?t work, it won?t work...
