"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ"
Mohandas Gandhi


I think this is one of my favorite quotes that Gandhi said, so simple yet truthful. While, as an atheist I do not believe in "Christ" or for me personally do not even believe in his existence. I do think as the quote says if more Christians were "Christ like" they would not be such dicks.

I think the quote in general sums up my feelings on christianity as a whole.... yes, I am sure I will get some who agree, and some who disagree... yet if you disagree, then post your own stamp, I can do without the "oh you're wrong blah blah blah"

I am sure I will get the, oh you're an atheist blah blah blah... you have no say on religious blah blah blah.

As an atheist, speaking only for me and some I have known. We don’t care who you worship, be it Christ, Allah, whatever. As long as you’re not a dick about it, or think yourself to be superior because of your religious beliefs then many atheists do not care either way.. oh and not trying to intertwine the law with religion and things of that nature, then by all means have fun with it.

Since I know I may get asked about my views on religion, I will just link you here…

What it means to be an atheist

A friend asked me to make this stamp when I showed her the quote, so that she can put it on her deviant art page. So if you want to fave it, that would be cool, if not.. that is also cool.

Note to self; Give Gandhi a medal once I get to heaven.

If there is an afterlife.... God I hope so...

I live by this..

"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
— Marcus Aurelius

As a Christian, I say that this stamp is beyond true. If more Christians weren't so "I'm better than all of you" ish, then maybe people wouldn't resent Christianity. Sadly, there are very few Christians who actually live like how God would want us to live

:thumbsup: thanks for the comment, I agree, I meet very few people who I would consider "Christ like" but then again my "Christ like" is treating all people with kindness, dignity and respect.

Well sir, I try to be like that, I want to be what God wants us Christians to be, and by gum it I will do it! And even if you might not be Christian, I will treat you no different than anyone else!

Well I do not think Christians are the only who believe god wants them to do this or that. In my many travels, I have seen many and I must admit in my humble opinion I very much enjoyed going to poor Muslim countries.. Where men who had very little still opened their home to strangers for a drink and a meal and I found them to be quite entertaining in their stories of their family history. Not saying Christians do not do the same since Christians have in my travels but admittedly not to the same degree.

I await my African trip where I will go cross continent for 12-18 months and see how that goes.
