Turns out even Mother Theresa herself figured out that the whole invisible friends thing was silly.

5. This just makes her even more amazing to me. She was able to
put aside her own struggles and selflessly help others.

Religion or no, God or no, she was an inspiring human being.

6. There was something about that right after she died
I forget where I saw and/or read it, but I do recall seeing something about her questioning her faith from time to time.

7. Hmmm interesting...
This makes her seem more human. I often question if God exists, there is too much turmoil in the world.
