Let’s be honest, we need the Mortensons of the world to make us feel better- that is why we want to believe, even if it requires suspended disbelief to do so.
I get your overall point, but the Mortensons of the world make my skin crawl.
Every single one of these stories should make red flags go up for you. I would never ever say we “need” these people.
If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
Heck, I even had a problem with some of Mother Teresa’s motivations, but nothing on the level that Christopher Hitchens had with her.
