I love Gandhi quotes, this one below is probably my favorite, being an atheist not religious it still has about the same meaning.
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ"

Here's a couple of my favorites from Colin Powell
“Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off.”
“The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.”
“There are no secrets to success: don’t waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence.”

Sounds like Apple's got a wordier (trendier?) take on George Bernard Shaw-- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

"I'm not saying we kill all the stupid people, I'm just saying we remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out."
and ink, why would that be one of your favorite quotes? You being an atheist and putting that as one of your favorite quotes says...I hate Christians, and Gandhi says it's ok. The quote was probably meant for for Christians to look at and say, you know what, he's right. I sure wouldn't put a quote slamming a group of people as one of my favorites...and the quote above is a joke, fyi. It's durn funny.

Brad I guess you don't get it.
I look at all religions well most anyways and laugh at how almost none of them follow what their supposed religion tells them to do. It reinforces my reasons for rejecting religion.
As I said Gandhi said it to Christians because of their history but the point he is making sits perfectly with me as well. And no I am not picking on christianity at all it just happens thats the group he was directing his quote at, insert any other religion and their prophet and the meaning is still the same.
Gandhi also said "An eye for an eye, makes the whole world blind" again that is pointing out something from the bible and several other religious books and I agree with it.

my point was I wouldn't put in my favorite list of quotes one about Muslims blowing themselves up. My point was a favorite quote to me shouldn't be something that would tear another person down.
And I am not saying he is wrong for saying that. My point was that is a lousy "favorite" quote. It reeks of "I hate" or "I want to tear you down."

One of many from my boy Tanner Smith at S.P.A.----"Let's dial in that mix so that printing water based inks won't be such a "BUTT PUCKERING EXPERIENCE". :o
Tanner is king of the one liners.
Another one of Tanner's. Be careful not to have your TV in a hotel up too loud in case you hit a channel that doesn't tune in. Your neighbors will think you are in there watching, "FUZZY PORN". :P

I am sorry you see it as hate or wanting to tear something down. I see it is more of a pointing out hypocrisy and the world should be made aware of it. It is a favorite quote of mine because I will always find religion as fed to us by man is a joke that has cost more lives than any disease or war known to man, I also see it as a continuing joke to man kind because it is still causing the deaths of many, ripping people off, and brain washing people.
I have zero issue with people having faith but to have faith and then blindly follow what some dude in a frock tells you to do is a joke.
Just like Gandhi I like Jesus Christ for what he is in principal but I sure hate all those damn christians killing and brain washing in his name.

I felt a little tweaked myself, but got over it. (Forgiveness you know) My particular favorite ascribed to Gandhi is when a reporter asked him what he thought of Western Civilization, he replied "It would be a good idea." (or something similar)

I understand that thinking because your focused on MAN. thats our problem, men sin and fall and the results are what your seeing. Christianity is not religion and means being focused on god not man. GOD will never let us down.

Trust me Stefan I have no issue with religion, it is a great thing in principal. My issue comes solely from man and mans use of religion and mans hypocrisy of religion nothing more. I know most catholics and christians and buddhists etc are all good compassionate people, but being religious does not have the market cornered on who can and cant be a compassionate and righteous person. I also have issue with people today not standing up for what they believe in and trying to force a change in these religious organizations. I speak mainly of islamic extremism, it pisses me off that very few muslims speak out against the disgrace these extremists bring upon their religion. It does apply to all religions of course since the beginning religion has been the biggest tool for corruption and war no matter what religion I speak of.
I do like the way the catholic church has been warming to science these past few decades, they have a long way to go but it is a start. BTW I was born a Roman Catholic and served as an altar boy. And if anyone has a priest and gag reflex joke piss off >:(

I just thought it got too long, that's all. I'm a Christian; if someone thinks I'm crazy, that's OK, it won't change me at all. I'll still be the same, and treat them the way I'd like to be treated. But the quotes are more fun, and less argumentative.
