While in the taxi the other day i couldn’t help but notice a certain image stuck behind the wheel of the taxi:

I couldn’t believe my eyes. Was that really Jesus and the hindi god Rama, together, in one picture?

Upon closer inspection:

This is the first time ever I have come across a religious image such as this. And is that Sai Baba at the bottom? Woah! A Holy Trinity like no other!

I mean, what are the chances of having all 3 major (i’m not too sure Sai Baba is a major player in the religious world league, but hey, if he’s in, he’s in) religious icons in one single picture?

Apparently the taxi driver had obtained this fascinating picture from a friend in high school. Probably an aspiring photoshopper and not a staunchly religious one at that. No self respecting god fearing person would ever create an image like this and not be tempted to scribble/cut out the competitors. Can’t say the same for the driver though.

I have a sneaking suspicion that perhaps it wasn’t that kid from high school, but rather a scheming entrepreneur who decided to cash in on the lucrative religious market by including all 3 Gods in one picture and selling it.

“Think of the trees” he’s probably saying.

At least it promotes love for your fellow men…..’s gods

PS: I wonder if every night when no one is around, they come alive Toy Soldiers style, and wage an epic battle with each other for the rightful title of Attention Holder. Kind of like that South Park episode of Jesus Vs Father Christmas. Only a bit more epic. And with more blasphemy.
