Diwali
October 23, 2014 at 10:36 pm
The Indian Muslims celebrated diwali yesterday with lots of firecrackers.
Isn't it a bit odd that diwali occurs just near halloween? Both pagan festivals and the indian muslims with their jihad. Surely, these are too obvious to ignore and signs of something about to happen.

I'm sensing more and more trolling coming through with all these threads . . .

Why not stick with one or two threads that you can actually respond to, and not hit and running like this?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

My birthday is on September 10th. Isn't it a bit odd that it occurs so near to September 11? Surely it's too obvious to ignore and the sign of something about to happen.
Or it could be a massive coincidence.
Besides which, something is always happening.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Multiple cultures celebrate the same general time of the year. Take the winter solstice for instance. Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza, and so forth. Halloween comes at around the fall harvest time, right? That's why there would be festivals around that time of year.

Ever noticed that there a lot of festivals relating to the seasons? Fall harvest, mid winter, and early spring are common world wide. You don't think it might have anything to do with the agrarian cultures do you?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

There does seem to be a theme going with many holidays.

You have a particular fundamentalist evangelical Christian point of view. What you don't know about Christianity as a whole could fill volumes.
