Q of the day 8/29/05

Ghandi once said something along the lines of " I like your Christ but I don't like your Christians". This seems to be a sentiment that is held by many people today especially those who would consider themselves postmodern. Why do you think this is so?

Probably because most Christians are not Christ-like. I'm not saying they aren't saved, or "just as in need of grace as the next person". I don't think anyone would prefer a holier-than-thou over a hypocrite... but I do think most people (Ghandi included) expect Christians to act like the guy they claim to follow... forgiving, welcoming, expecting something better from people. And I don't mean to secularize Christ, he was certainly much more than those few things... but those are the things Christian can imitate.
