Mohandas Gandhi

I used to think I respected Gandhi, but now I see that he was just another political hack.

It's like saying, "I don't like your Buddhists", or "I don't like your Muslims", or "I don't like your Hindus".

It's ignorant.

And I still don't know what he means by "your".

I would imagine his quote was directed at the British colonial rulers.

So he didn't like Christians? Woopty freakin' doo! Well he can stand in line with everone else then.

Who's the "your" he's talking to anyway? What a stupid thing to say.

You're quite the doorknob aren't you?

Okay genius, explain who the "your" are in Gandhi's statement, and don't give me that mindless answer Proper Knob gave.

I bet there's not a single one of you robots that can figure out what's wrong with Gandhi's quote.

This is what happens when you only listen to part of what he is saying. Taking in and understanding the whole is to understand the concept. Listening to only part of what he is saying - and only the part that rankles you - does not make Gandhi the ignorant one.

Actually it was to directed to the western world, but yes it was directed mostly to the British. But that was not the point now was it?
And further more Joe you can not prove to me that Jeshu walked on water either.
Bare in mind that you shouldn't take the hole bible as a document that speaks the hole truth. No it is a guide in how to live with the basic laws thrown in.
The best one is: Love thy fellow man as you self. (My comment to that is the rest is comments).
Do you get my drift?

The "your' refers to Christians, duh. Brainiac.

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians."

Think again.

I think theprotectors got it right. I think he was talking to the western world at large.
