"She did good without faith" (my words, not hers)

Isa 64:6 For we are all become as one that is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Rom 3:10 as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;
Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;
Rom 3:12 They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:
(God's words, not mine)

No... Not even close!
She said she did not feel God's presence but that doesn't mean she lost her faith! I saw an interview with the recipient of many of her letters and she said she had asked God about the suffering Jesus had on the cross. God turned his back on Jesus at the time he took on the sins of all of us. She apparently from then on didn't feel God's presence... just like Jesus when he said "My God why have you forsaken me" (right out of Psalms 22).
No... she lived a life of faith and dedication that you will only see from a Christian of true faith.

No, she once reprimanded a Communist Chinese official for his atheism ! And by 'without faith' she meant 'felt faith'

No. Although she said she felt like she lost her connection with God, she never stopped looking for it either. Why, by the way, does what one believes have anything to do with acting in a kind, decent way?

She asked for prayer..that isn't Atheism..Atheist don't like it when someone like Flew gets turned into a Christian for making a statement like...Physics doesn't discount God..Let's not twist facts..no matter what side we are on.

Wasn't it Mutha Teresa? And there is a substantial amount of evidence that points to her being M in the recent James Bond documentaries.
