You did. You clearly demonstrated that you to not understand the lesson that Mother Teresa was trying to teach about having love, mercy, compassion, empathy and understand for others.
Your presenting a strawman argument. When you misrepresented someone's argument that makes it easier to attack.What compassion, mercy, love,...?

Not really, the rock solid standard of Science is the double blind test and is is very difficult for them to outperform a placebo.
So even if God is just a placebo effect that is still a very high standard to try to surpass.
IF you think that is so easy to do then you must be a multi billionare many times over.
My son came home the other day complaining about his math class and how difficult his assignment was. I said math maybe difficult but math is correct 100% of the time. You can trust in math and depend on math to always work.
"The half-life of knowledge is the amount of time that has to elapse before half of the knowledge in a particular area is superseded or shown to be untrue. The concept is attributed to Fritz Machlup (1962). For example, Donald Hebb estimated the half-lifeof psychology to be five years." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life_of_knowledge

"The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. This sort of "reasoning" has the following pattern: Person A has position X."

Actually your attack was on the Catholic Church and their Canonization of Mother Teresa for her work in Calcutta. I do not think your allowed to attack her like that on here. We could check but I think this sort of personal attack on a Christian is against the rules.What position of yours did I misrepresent?

The point I was making had to do with today's drug epidemic because of the overuse of opium based drugs allowed by the FDA today. They need to be more conservative and less liberal. As for what Mother Teresa did or did not do, I really do not know. She did not write anything, we can only go with what other people say about her. Today we are dealing with a substantial increase in the death rate from overdose of drugs that are used for pain. Going from fentanyl to carfentanil laced heroin is increasing the death rate even more.No, it's a valid question: how is letting people suffer in agony when they can be given medical treatment an act of compassion?

I have doctors that get upset with me because I do not want to take all of the drugs they want to prescribe for me. That is my choice. I have the right to pick and choose what treatment I want. For example I recently had a problem from my back because I carry a little bit of extra weight. We decided the best approach would be to go though osteoporosis therapy exercises for a pinched nerve in my back. I learned different positions that I can use when I sleep to avoid the nerve getting pinched. I rejected taking drugs for the pain because I wanted to resolve the cause of the problem not just treat the symptoms. I lowered by Blood Pressure from 195/119 down to 100/50 with diet, exercise & stress control. I do not think any medication would have been as effective as a more natural approach to good health. To be sure good health is a daily ongoing effort.Next time you contract a nasty desease, you take the placebo while someone else with the same desease gets the actual treatment.
I did not say that. You did, actually monster did, but now you want to defend him and the argument he is failing to establish. I did a little research in Mother Teresa and there are people that accuse her of different things. I questioned if the rules allow people to attack Christians like that. I thought the rules prohibited personal attacks like that.No, you didn't. You said that Mother Teresa was showing compassion by making people suffer in agony instead of giving them simple medical aid, which would not have simply been drugs.

You are flogging a dead horse.The rules prohibit personal attacks on USERS only. And again, you were the one who made the claim that Mother Teresa was showing compassion by withholding medical aid to the people under her care. Do you care support that claim?
And she was anything but a saint (also Mother of All Myths).Mother Teresa did the exact same thing only the other way, she denied her God on her deathbed and died an atheist.
