Mother Theresa Was Attacked For Having Empathy

Mother Theresa was also attacked by socialists and atheists for deciding to help the needy in India. Mother Theresa was attacked by the media for deciding to help individuals in India who were sick and living in poverty. This describes how socialists and atheists do not want to believe in GOD Almighty and also disdain empathy. Socialists attacked the fact that Mother Theresa was against birth control and abortions citing the importance of life. Mother Theresa described how life should be respected and cherished. Her rebuke of birth control and abortions was a rebuke on lust and fornication outside of marriage. Socialists prefer to attack Christianity because Christianity reproves sex outside the marriage that leads to difficulties in society. Socialists justify birth control and abortions as a manner to "help society" while disdaining morals and human life. 

Mother Theresa also was attacked because some of the clinics and orphanages in India did not have adequate funding and resources. This was not her fault since she was doing the best she could with the resources available. There were faithful individuals who cared for the sick despite a lack of medical resources. Nuns cared for dying individuals and were still helpful. She described how they were still helping individuals who had nowhere else to go and had infirmities and sickness. To this, there were still individuals that attacked her empathy. This describes how faithful individuals can still be envied and hated for doing so much good with the resources they have available. Mother Theresa was still envied and hated by socialists and atheists for practicing empathy. There was unfair criticism against Mother Theresa for having empathy. (This is while the caste system was not (and is not) being reproved by socialists. It is much easier to reprove a nun that helps the poor and needy than go against a social caste system.) The "untouchables" of India are discriminated against simply for existing and not being born with trust fund money. They can not advance in work opportunities, education, nor employ their creativity to help society nor themselves. "Untouchables" are treated as less than human beings because of their heredity. Mother Theresa helped individuals despite the envy of socialists. Most "untouchables" in India (both male and female) find refuge in Christianity or pacifist Buddhism that helps them obtain basic necessities, a manner to learn, and persevere without propagating hate and envy that idol worship (socialism) and envy cause. (Pacifist Buddhism does not acknowledge Yahshua being the Messiah, yet it does not propagate envy and coveting like socialism).
