I am not an atheist. In fact, I grew up in a christian family, in a christian third world country, I studied in a Catholic school that was exclusive for girls, and so, I am not an atheist.
But when I first heard about this book, (It was my first year in highschool back then) my very enthusiastic mind, of course, wanted to find out what was the truth behind the lies of a picture prefect portrait of Mother Theresa.
But of course, that book was banned here in our country and during those times (late 90's), the only way to have a new book was to go to the nearest bookstore that will cost you your whole week's allowance, and did I mentioned that the book was banned in our country?
And yes, internet and WiFi before were not that handy.
During our generation, we get things the hard way, like when we wanted to play a certain song, we can't just download the chords because there was no such thing as download before, so its either we buy a song mag with that song in it or we learn the song by ourselves.
So downloading a whole book was a far cry itself before.
So to cut the long story short, I totally forgotten every thing about this book.
Until late last year while I was idly browsing blogs, when I came across this book again.
The truth is, this book is NOT blasphemous, it is NOT a punch to Christians nor any other religions, it is an eye opener.
Truth be told, religions had nothing to do with the acts of the people in it.
Priests, pastors, ministers, nuns, they are all just common people serving their gods, and they are not perfect. And they are not the face of their religion either.
So what makes this book hard to drop is that it tells about the other side of a coin.
That most of the time, believers are just pawns of a man in control using the name of kindness or a higher power for self exaltation.
Most of the time, those angelic figures are the ones who are capable of diabolic deeds.
Reputation is deceiving.
Most of the time, the darkest secrets are lurking in the blinding artificial light of what we call reputation.
I'm not going to tell here what were the secrets of that famous nun... Go read the book and find out.
...because a coin always has two sides.
And yes, I believe she's a Sith in disguise of a Jedi.
