Hi Albert
I have many reservations about the advice to read the Bible and Koran.
There are indications that unintended consequences of such reading is
fuelling fundamentalist action in the Muslim and Christian 'camps' which
further antagonise both sides. Maybe, avoiding the two books you mention
might bring about less tension than exists at present. Just a thought!

Dear friends
There is hue and cry on account of the movie da vincy code. In this world
we are usually carried away by mob mentality and do things without real
reasoning. We are way back in 1557 (I hope my dates are correct) the same
mob mentality which led to the mutiny of 1557. Some one just said that the
bullets were coated with fats of cows. Today many people who term
themselves as leaders give a false call which prevent people to face
reality. Today religion has become a lucrative business because our so
called leaders have captured the masses in their palms and we have become
dolls in their hands. I have neither read the book nor seen the movie but
as someone rightly said that God will be happy with humanity if only we
love each and every one like Jesus did. Jesus himself will not mind the
movie, or the book for what ever human beings says or cry a loud will have
no effect on him. Instead of becoming fanactis let us sit for a while and
read the Holy Bible like the Muslims read the Quaran with respect and
devotion and get inspiration from the Holy Bible as if we read it with the
spirit the Lord inspires man how to lead a life. Only when we read the
Bible and allow God to reveal himself to us we will be real Christian and
even if there are thousand of da vincy code amidst us we will be the same.
Today we are really affected by da vincy code is because we are shaky in
our faith.
