But then if it is the only thing that inspires faith, then there is a lot to question :)Diviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285391581727274275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35092335.post-56320401068553180142006-11-09T17:18:00.000+05:302006-11-09T17:18:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Diviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285391581727274275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35092335.post-1162853792454912652006-11-07T04:26:00.000+05:302006-11-07T04:26:00.000+05:30And I give my comment!

God cannot reside in a stone, he resides in hearts, in the beauty around us, among us. Even I have heard my friends say similar things about ' i saw God'..i used to marvel at their apparently immature choice of words. <BR/>Even we christians give way too importance to statues, of course, we dont worship those statues, but rather what they portray, but I have seen people put garlands etc to the statue. God hates it, he says so, in the Bible. Yet, we dont seem to change our ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
