I asked another question about Teresa, but the answers were basically from people saying I out to slander Teresa. On the contrary, I have a lot more respect for her, now that I know she had severe doubts. I respect that even more because her atheism probably came about as she observed the suffering of the poor, and could not feel God meanwhile. It's strange, another prominent theist, and former atheist, Dr. Francis Collins, reports the opposite effect after working in the ER, and became a Christian as a result.
So, do you Christians think that someone who had serious doubts, and probably would have been an atheist if not for her obligation to the Church, will still go to heaven? Does "Pascal's Wager" work... if you just pretend, will that be enough to please God?
