A better analogy would be assuming that because someone is a really good person, that the laws of gravity would suddenly cease to apply.

It's not completely false. It's true for all our intents and purposes. I just don't think it represents the complete picture.

To say that water molecules are made up of a mickey-mouse shaped arrangement of two hydrogen "balls" and an oxygen "ball" is true in one sense, but certainly doesn't capture all of reality. Yet following that model will get you pretty far.

In the end, this is sort of a stupid argument we're not going to resolve. So, I'll go ahead and grant that Mother Teresa is in the curved area of the big ball of the spirit world with the prison bars over it that I drew (completely accurately and faithfully) on my mission.
