Back in 2009 I visited one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Tanzania and will never forget what I saw. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. A true house of horrors. A real life museum of poverty and physical abnormalities.

The facility was packed with elderly people who were near death and in the back of the facility they had dark rooms where they kept the mentally ill and severely handicapped people. There I saw humans with chains on their bodies to prevent them from scratching their eyes out or attacking others. It was absolutely intense heat and these people were in soiled linens… the stench nearly drove me to vomit.

Then I saw a man who was unable to sit up… due to an enormous head that was about 3 feet long attached to a tiny body with tiny limbs. The guy was about 30 yrs old and was being kept alive unnecessarily. This severe disfigurement couldn’t possibly be a good life. I looked into the gigantic eyes of this man and cried as I could see the pain that he was suffering.

 That was undeniably the most terrifying home for the disabled/poor/elderly that I have ever seen. I wish that experience on no one and unfortunately it exists due in large part to Mother Teresa’s warped image of religion that condemns abortion or humane methods to end life support for severely disfigured humans. I don’t believe that she should be considered a saint.
