Text: excerpted and adapted from the article "The Grinch who stole Valentine's Day" by Luis Granados, published in _Free Inquiry_, Feb/Mar 2010, pp.37-40 (adaptation from pp.38-39, with minor edits for the sake of flow).
Although Gandhi is revered by the world as a fighter for Indian independence and non-violent resistance, his philosophy contained some bizarre and extreme elements worthy of criticism, especially by skeptics and rationalists, elaborated in this dramatization.
His attitudes towards sexual morality and modern, science based medicine are frankly shocking to many secular humanists of a rationalist/skeptical frame of mind.

Thank you for this.
It's good to be aware that he was as crazy as he was heroic. If these neuroses of his are commonly known of in India/Pakistan, I can't help but wonder about the mixed feelings the educated must have about the legendary figure. I don't envy them, their probable cognitive dissonance.
