On leaving and speaking out against the church

Disgusted by the recent scandals in the Church over pederasty, or its misogyny, or just bored with organised religion?

Well, many people in Europe are, and they are now online. Here's a few websites with instruction manuals on how to leave, especially important in countries where there's tax and other obligations attached to formal membership of religious organisations, but also perhaps important for closure and moral dissociation. In Kenya, we have seen some criticism of the church from Kenyan Christians on matters of the constitution. But first, a look into Europe.

Mother Theresa an Atheist?

A few days ago, a book revealing that Mother Theresa was shaky on her belief has just been released. From her letters:

"I call, I cling, I want ... and there is no One to answer ... no One on Whom I can cling ... no, No One. Alone ... Where is my Faith ... even deep down right in there is nothing, but emptiness & darkness ... My God ... how painful is this unknown pain ... I have no Faith ... I dare not utter the words & thoughts that crowd in my heart ... & make me suffer untold agony.

So many unanswered questions live within me afraid to uncover them ... because of the blasphemy ... If there be God ... please forgive me ... When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives & hurt my very soul. I am told God loves me ... and yet the reality of darkness & coldness & emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul."
