pickrjm martin said...A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion. Ghandi said that. I posted it this morning on my Face Book page, then I saws your post here. Awhile back, when I first saw Ghandi's observation about Christianity Vs. Christians it stopped me in my tracks. Never mind that I was sitting when I saw it; you get the picture. You see, as a Christian myself, I sometimes took umbrage at what I saw and heard other Christians say and do. I wrestled with this for a while, but could not isolate and identify that which was bothering me. It was Ghandi's unbiased comment that made it so clear. I knew a little about Ghandi. That he was educated and extremely articulate. He could make an 'argument' and sway many. But, to me, Ghandi was the most Christ like mortal I knew of. He spoke, I heard.
