Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Stoning prophets and erecting churches to their memory afterwards has been the way of the world through the ages. Today we worship Christ, but the Christ in the flesh we crucified.

Stoning prophets and erecting churches to their memory after

Summary

This quote suggests a recurring pattern in human history where prophets are initially condemned and persecuted, only for societies to later honor and deify them. The quote alludes to the crucifixion of Christ as an example - despite worshipping him today, he was rejected and put to death during his time. It highlights the irony that individuals who bring new ideas and challenge the status quo are often met with hostility and resistance. It serves as a reflection on society's tendency to appreciate and venerate figures only after they are gone.
