[quote=Anonymous]A form of the quote is officially attributed to another man. I have found no authoritative source for Gandhi saying this. The actual quote is attributed to Bara Dada, "Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians -- you are not like him." Source - Jones, E. Stanley. The Christ of the Indian Road, New York: The Abingdon Press,1925. (Page 114) It does, to the extent that many of those using the quote are trying to use Gandhi's authority to circumvent real argument/ compel a guilt trip, or try to deliver some easy lesson on Christian behavior that avoids messy details. They could just say the same thing themselves, but it would lose what little bit of force it had as a celebrity quote -- and that was the only thing it had going behind it. Mahatma and those who would use his words to impugn others do not deserve a free pass when it comes to misinformation. Beware those who use cheesy Facebook memes for a basis of anything in life.
