We've probably all heard the radio commercial dozens of times. Under their category of "soul" values.com selected Mahatma Gandhi. Is that really the best choice they could have come up with? So I thought I would check into it a little more closely.
Any surprise this would result when "a nonpartisan, nonsectarian organization" would "carefully design our public service messages to have general universal appeal"? Any surprise they would avoid invoking the name Jesus Christ or selecting an exemplary Christian who has lived his life by our commandments to love God with all our hearts and love our neighbors as ourselves, like Don Stephens of Mercy Ships for example, who brought healing and hope to tens of thousands of the poorest people.

Before piling on in the deification of Gandhi, all they would have had to do is a bing search like - Gandhi racist - or - gandhi sex exploit.
