Before I got deeply into spiritual growth, I always thought there was something weird about the fact that Gandhi claimed to be a Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Jew. How could you claim membership to religions that actively opposed each other? It's funny how back then his words seemed noncommittal to me--like he was trying to cheaply get support from all religions--whereas now his words seem enlightened.
Just another example of how spiritual growth changes the way you think in dramatic and unexpected ways.
