These lines should be shown to everybody!

what shall i explain? if u are talking about my intro to those lines... i will.... ya, from what i understood from these lines, put the religion part aside, culturally, we do have to agree the spine of the indian culture is based on this book, no matter what religion u belong to or which god u pray to. it is an undeniable fact. ya, if muslims hate christians and christians hate the jews and jews hate the pagans else where in the world. and this hatered is based manily on religious grounds, but it is quite different in india, where hindus pray in a mosque, they visit church and the muslims celebrate indian festivals, eat prasad and the same with christians too.
but about the lines.... i dont know.... i did nt write them, u got to ask Vyas what he actually meant.

it just feels like there is something missing, like the beginning & the end have been omitted. was expecting something more from the thread. the follow on doesn not quite add up.
...can't explain i'll leave it there

something is missing all the time San, if everythig had an answer, we would nt really believe in the concept of god or religion. only if we knew the answers for everything. I really wish we did.

Well, cannot keep a lady waiting, can I? Especially San who always pushes all the right buttons on me.
Yes, the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of Life, The Universe, And Everything is 42. But that does not mean that it is the answer to everything. There is a huge difference between the two. Is there not?
