I may have become Christian, were it not for Christians.
I consider myself a Hindu, Christian, Moslem, Jew, Buddhist and Confucian.
You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilisation to pieces, turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature.
If all Christians acted like Christ, the whole world would be Christian.
Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians - you are not like him.
If it had not been for the Christians that I have known I might have been a Christian.
It will be necessary for us Indians - Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Parsis and all others to whom India is their home - to recognize a common flag to live and die for.
If it weren't for Christians, I'd be a Christian.
I consider Western Christianity in its practical working a negation of Christ's Christianity.
I considered becoming a Christian... until I met one.
Yes I am, I am also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew.
Though I cannot claim to be a Christian in the sectarian sense, the example of Jesus suffering is a factor in the composition of my undying faith in non-violence which rules all my actions, worldly and temporal.
I don't reject Christ. I love Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike Christ.
I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while I hold by my own religion, I should hold other religions as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we were Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a Hindu should become a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, and a Christian a better Christian.
