Mother Teresa on a stamp?

This is VERY true. They do not depict his image, ever. Remember the Danish guy who printed the cartoon depicting him? The death threats were out of this world.

I am massively surprised that he is still alive today.

Any depiction of the prophet is "harram," forbidden.

Hey there Born.

What's good for the goose is usually called slander but M.T. was a public figure and as

such she is fair game for comic folly. I was heart broken when I found out that J.Edgar

Hoover was a cross dresser. You'd think the patron saint of the FBI would have gotten a stamp

of his own by now? /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' /> Welcome back Dawkins.

Lmao! Charlieee! Charlieee! Some non-believers have a big fantasy world. When I was little I made a horn hat for my pony, I wanted a Unicorn. I feel so much better now, knowing he's in candy mountain. /tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

I just hope he has all his internal organs. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Laugh' />

What happened to stamps just being stamps, you know the same standard stamp.

I agree about the charities, particularly children. One in four go to bed hungry at night.

At a time when people in our country are in such need, why is our government even focusing on this (spending of money).

Honestly I don't care if the person is great or not, just why is it being done during these hard times.

I go to the P. O. what comes out of the machine I take. I had to look at my stamps to see what was actually on them, if asked even after using one I wouldn't know.

I use stamps less know than ever with onlne bill paying, etc.

On the same token, I don't even know how much an individual stamp costs. Mine have the Liberty Bell, and no price.

I take ten bucks with me to the P. O. throw the money in and get change in coin dollars, that I end up giving away as quaters. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Sometimes when I'm there, I still have thoughts of the disgruntled postal workers of years gone by, and get out as quickly as I can.

At the risk of being pedantic, the whole "separation of church and state" thing is vastly over-stretched. The First Amendment of our Constitution simply states that "CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ….", while Article VI specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." Everything else has been a result of the courts "expanding" the Constitution. We could argue all day about whether they were correct to do so or not, but personally, I do not think that our founding fathers had keeping Mother Theresa off of a stamp in mind when they drafted our founding documents.

Religion aside, Mother Theresa was a great humanitarian who devoted her long life to taking care of the wretchedly poor. In addition to advocating the expansion of his religion "at the point of a sword", Mohammed married a 6 year old old when he was an old man and consummated the marriage when the girl was nine. You bet your sweet arse I'd protest if they put his image on a stamp or anything else.

If I offend, I'm sorry, but there is a HUGE difference here.

Actually I agree with you 100% … I also find it funny that people do not understand that the United States of America is NOT a Democracy … but a REPUBLIC. Most do not even know the difference.
