WELCOME TO CRITICAL THINKING
Debunking false dogmas.

The terror of constant brainwashing indeed spells hopelessness for billions.
A static intellect is when predetermination takes the place of honest inquiry and truth is suppressed. The culprit is misguided religion which leads to fanaticism, barbarism and superstition. This form of credulity is the catalyst of existing adverse and prejudicial conditions that have plagued mankind for nearly 5,000 years.
"When the time of destruction is at hand the intellect becomes perverted." Vridha Chan. 16:17.

Can a fool, fool God? - Feb 08, 2002
What Baseball-club owner would pay his worst ball-player the same money as his best? Since he is the owner he can do anything and even through compassion make such a reward. But let's measure the disadvantages of such a measure, his club would go bankrupt because his worst players would never strive to be better while his best players would do less since it makes no sense to be the best. Baseball will become non-competitive and the millions who would be deprived of its entertainment will no longer support it, not to mention the thousands that will be affected by employment. If there were such an owner who lacks such business sense, he would be called a fool, won't he?

 A fool has no value for time or knowledge and so he remains a fool all his life. It certainly requires no effort to be a fool and in the end he/she repents for being a fool and gains salvation. On the other hand, a wise man values his time and works diligently and strenuously daily all his life, in his efforts through austerity and abstinence to attain higher wisdom also gains salvation.

Now I ask what would we call the 'All-powerful' God of the Torah, Bible, Qur'an, Puranas, Zend Avesta, Guru Grantha, and all that other false dogmas that can do anything, who gives the same reward of heaven to both a fool and a wise man? To an intelligent soul, he is not only mortal like the Ball-club owner but even more foolish. In reality, a fool who follows a false dogma is only fooling him/herself. 
                                                                 
                         Redemption can only be a fool's passport to a fool's paradise.

Gandhi and Mother Teresa were true saints

Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi held no title or office. He did not lead armies or held vast lands. Yet with non-violence, he freed India from the British Empire.

General George C. Marshall said, "Mahatma Gandhi had become the spokesman for the conscience of all mankind. He was a man who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires." Albert Einstein added, "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever, in flesh and blood, walked upon this Earth."

Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa was like an angel. People may belittle her but when was the last time they picked up the dying and served them? She also founded, with the help of the Vatican, the Missionaries of Charity.

Mari Marcel Thekaekara points out that "No one had ever before done anything remotely like Mother Teresa's order, namely picking up destitute and dying people off the pavements and giving them a clean place to die in dignity." Navin B. Chawla points out that "Those who are quick to criticise Mother Teresa and her mission, are unable or unwilling to do anything to help with their own hands."

Yes, praise God! The God of nature is the God of all peoples.

Vj ~ You need to have your head examined even though it might be too late for you.
Gandhi was an idiot and a traitor!
Non-violence kept the inhabitants quiet while the subjugators (British) plunder the country without any serious resistance. Over the the period of occupation the British stole 46 trillion dollars. India had a GDP of 23% GDP when they first went to India and when they left it was a meager 3%.

It was not Gandhi who got India's freedom.
"Bose and his INA (Indian National Army) were the primary reasons that the British realized they could not hold on to India." British Prime Minister Clement Atlee (1945 - 1951)

Mother Teresa was like an angel. People may belittle her but when was the last time they picked up the dying and served them?
Vj ~ Mother Theresa wasn't an angel as many were led to believe. She accepted 1 million US dollars donation from Baby Doc and gave it to the Vatican. Maybe she thought such an act would guarantee her a safe passage to 'heaven'. Not one dime when to the needy of Calcutta or even to Haiti, one of the poorest nation in the world.

Many would think she was blessed, but the opposite was her situation.
In one of her many letters to the Vatican she wrote, "In my soul, I can't tell you how dark it is, how painful, how terrible it is, I feel like refusing god." Mother Theresa
