Gandhi as a test case for "good people" — his nightly nude sleeping with other women, including nieces

Stop Saying All Roads Lead to God! 00:53:44 – 00:55:15

Response to the common invocation of Gandhi as the exemplar of a good non-Christian

Most people know almost nothing about Gandhi — only vague references to the Salt March and British oppression. In fact, Gandhi was primarily a political leader. He routinely slept nude with women who were not his wife, cycling through different women, sometimes requesting a man's wife for the night. He slept with his 18-year-old niece when he was in his 70s, reportedly to test his self-control. He was unashamed of this and even wanted her to write a book about it. Winger's point: God knows what Gandhi was really like. The exclusivity of Christ is also its openness — there is one way that is available to anyone who trusts in him.

Are you better than those who say no?
