other crazy thoughts 17

Now religious festivals have gone to the businessmen. Every opportunity to make money it will be commercialised. So religious festivals are no exception. Look at the christmas festival is one of them. Although I have said many times, Jesus wasnt born on 25 December yet many Christians still celebrate this pagan festival believing that Jesus was born on that day. So how good these people become? Sin and forgiveness? For every year these people do, every year they commit the same sin again and again. The Holy Lord must be getting annoyed with them. Yet it is money to be made so people jump on the wagon. I don't see any different with Deepavali and Hari Raya nowadays. It is business to make money. It is not about religion. It is about people going out to make money on these religious festivals. We have sunk very low in our thoughts and actions in which many pitfalls have fallen on us. I am not saying I a saint. I have my sins and forgetfulness. Religious calling should be shared in service to the Lord. Nothing of showing off what one can do or how much one makes. It is the thought of sharing, praying and helping..
