Gandhi>Bush said:You can read the title of the thread that's why your here. I'll make an actual poll later as to who should be on the list and we'll have an official vote.
Due to popular demand, we now have thread where you can argue against me, unsuccessfully I might add 8) (and I did), that Gandhi was some how not the Greates Person to ever live.
Bring it on.
Gandhi>Bush said:Jesus...?
Okay...
Jesus said, "Love thy enemy" and "Turn the other cheeks."
Gandhi not only said them, he acted upon them. He called others to act upon them.
Which I'm sorry to say, many of Jesus' followers did not.

Gandhi>Bush said:You're absolutley right.
Jesus effected many more lives than Gandhi.
satinloveslibs said:So why is Gandhi greater than Jesus. A man that taught love and compassion and a reason to live.
satinloveslibs said:How do you get several sections of quotes without the response being in the quote box?
Gandhi>Bush said:Have you heard of the Crusades? Do you know what they were? As a Christian you really should find out. Google it and then you'll know what the holy land is.
Gandhi taught the same things only he did more than just talk about it. He acted on it. He showed everyone in the world who call him an "idealist" that it was possible.
Gandhi>Bush said:How did Jesus show that it was possible? What did he achieve through non violence? What have his followers achieved through non violence?
Non violence is what I consider greatness :lol:
satinloveslibs said:That what was possible?love for one another? non-violence can't always solve problems. Violence is needed for the Talaban and terrorists and for people like Hitler. We got rid of Hitler with violence and a lot of it. And it was neccessary and is neccessary now.
What did Jesus achieve through non-violence? I'm not sure, but he did acheieve a lot with love for one another. Did Gandhi?
Gandhi>Bush said:With that kind of thinking you'll never get on the list...
And with the thinking of that "non-violence solves everything" you won't either because we are not living in la la land.
Gandhi>Bush said:And Gandhi was?
He accomplished nothing? You would call him an idealistic fool?

GarzaUK said:Ghandi drove out the British from India without firing a single bullet, that is one hell of an achievement for non-violence.
What has this war acheived satin? Really what has it acheived. An invasion of two countries yet, your government says your not any safer. Seriously 30,000 innocents dead and for what? Afghanistan is a mess, producing 4 times more heroin than the Talaban ever did. Iraq is a mess.
I mean what is different?
And I find it funny that some Christains support war in general, these were not the teachings of Christ.
Gandhi>Bush said:Kerry is no where to be found on the list.
Returning fire with fire, hatred with hatred, will never in a million years end terrorism.
That is foolish. Let us not digress into a terrorism thread...
Let's hear more suggestions for greatest people ever!
How about MLK? Definitely the greatest American by my standards.
satinloveslibs said:For ex. I forgot what it was called and when, but one time terrorist were trying to kill Americans and ended up killing over 300 Austrailians and they didn't care, all they were thinking was " well atleast we killed somthing" you cannot negotiate that. You have to go get them before they get you. Kerry said he would take action when needed. So he pretty much said that he'll go into war after something happens to us. Bush said "no more" and we're gonna stop these terrorist threats that have taken thousands of American lives. They have murdered Americans over 30 times.(I'll give dates tomorrow) Violence is the only way to stop this threat. Clinton was horrible president for not doing anything to stop them.
