Interesting. Why was the point brought up then?

Well ... it's news to me, good news in some ways.

I say that because I don't believe that the lies that seem to be put in front of us and our children about certain people such as Mother Teresa and now Gandhi (I'd had my suspicions about him though on his "pacifism" not his racism, knew nothing about the latter) ... it falls in line with my belief that those people we idolise (as a culture) are not the people they actually were in real life and helps (in a comparative sense) with my argument against the need for a literal Jesus Christ.

Pretty much what i expected, though i would have thought little more to the Right and little more to the libertarian.
