In my perspective there are many saints right now here on planet earth without even knowing they are saints. They just do their job. For example, I personally consider Christopher Hitchens as a saint (RiP). And also my own mother. </p>
<p>A saint, in my definition, is someone who incarnated here on earth to do a particular job that is beneficial for all sentient beings. That can mean being a medical doctor, an honest investigative journalist, a comedian, a parent, a writer, etc. </p>
<p>Seriously, who cares what the RCC has to offer anyway. Their only message seem to be: Obey theocrasy! Else!</p>
<p>I think the dawn of Reason/Science and the dignity of Humanity can not be supressed for ever. </p>
<p>Anybody who does their job properly in a dedicated and dispassionate but passionate manner, helping humanity becomming wise and being able to think for themselfs, solving problems humanity suffers from, with a little help of all the information we have exess to by now, is considered a saint by me, And exposing what needs to be exposed can also be a part of the saint's job. So, Brian, feel free to be considered a saint.</p>Catacomblib commented on 'Mother Teresa becomes a saint despite "spiritual darkness."

(You wrote that you too long for God but nevertheless you know it is just an imaginary being). As a side note, I love your blog. You give me much food for thought and it is very likely I will post many comments on your old posts browsing the archive.</p>Martin commented on 'Mother Teresa becomes a saint despite "spiritual darkness."
