Down on the earth, people may be killing each other in the name of religion. But up there, it seems that everything is in harmony among the Gods of the different religions. In an interval of less than a week, they have conjured up a ‘miracle’ each to appease their followers. In the beginning we had the sea water turning sweet, attributed to Allah as one of his great miracles. Not to be left behind, just a couple of days later, we had the Hindu deities develop a sudden predilection for milk and started gulping them down in spoonfuls. And today, the Christian community must have felt a newfound wave of faith by the news of a statue of Mother Mary weeping.
Is this an indirect message of the Gods for the people of their community, urging them to have faith? Maybe it wouldn’t be too hard to imagine them playing a game of some kind. “Oh I’m going to try to make the sea water sweet. What about you?” “Me, I’m going to drink up some milk. And you?” “Oh I don’t know, I feel like crying.” Or is it that the competition up there too has increased and they seem to be jostling for space in Heaven? “You want to stay up here, you better show some miracles down there.”
