Its all great in theory about what should be done and how it should be done. We should help the poor, alleviate poverty, allow people to die with dignity, I could go on...Mother Theresa did these things. Was it perfect? No. Was it motivated by Catholic ideology? Yes. Did she do damage because she discouraged birth control, yes. But if she didn't do all the things she did to help the poor, all the hospitals and all the charity work, who would have done it? Christianity and Islam do charitable works. Other religions, well not so much, and even the Dalai Lama has acknowledged the deficiencies of Buddhism in this regard. What about secular philosophies? How do they help the poor? When has a secular humanist travelled to India and opened up a clinic for Lepers??
