"Christ...I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians, for they are so unlike your Christ."
-Ghandi
Can the above be applied to the so called Christians of America?

Would it not be true that today's Christan's would be calling Jesus a "lib" "commie" and all the other names every time he posted a comment here? and if they could meet him even worse?

Yes I agree with him,that Christ is good but Christians who do not apply well their religion teaching in their everyday life,they are bad so they are unlike Christ.Christ as a prophet had been selected by our God that he had a good moral.This can be applied to the so called Christians of America.

Trust me Christianity has nothing to do with Christ.This Roman Catholic Church is Off Shoot of Roman Empire.Like any other organized religion they are very corrupt and criminal,take a look at the history how many they slaughtered on the name of Christ while THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL HATE TO EVEN KILL A FLY.Mahatama Gandhi was not an Idiot.

Yes definitely. Cause certain Christians aren't anything like the tolerant, peace-loving, forgiving Christ.

We can never be like Christ. He alone was perfect. We all sin and fall short. We can try but we will never come close. Hence the reason he came to teach and to take the burden of our sins.
If we were all like Jesus, then there would have been no reason for him to have come in the first place.
Besides, what does your question have to do with politics?

Gandhi was groovy. I'm not sure who he is talking to, so I can't say whether or not I agree with him. But you must agree he says everything so well. Here's a Good one, "An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does the truth become error because nobody will see it." Gandhi is deep.

Yes and no. I agree because Christians fall short of behaving like Christ. I disagree because true Christians become more and more like Christ as they grow in their faith. In general, you should strive to like (love) people period.

He was speaking in and of another time and place. Just like modern politicians, he was speaking to impress HIS people, not us.
Most of the Christians I know are good folks.
But I definitely know a few butt-heads too.
Same for the Hindus I have known...

Ghandi pushed the envelope once too many times. He didn't understand the western world nor did he ever try. By the way Ghandi was a Hindu and he was murdered by a muslim not a christian!

I'm 90% sure the quote goes, I like your Christ, not your CHRISTMAS
He was referring to the highly-materialistic nature of American Christmas
