Oh... The irony of it!

There I was sitting in a train reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins when

- I noticed that the gentleman seated next to me was reading "Messages from Bhagvad Gita"
- Another gentleman seated opposite to me was wearing a T-Shirt which proclaimed "1Saviour + 3Nails = 4Given"
- and a couple seated behind me were talking to me about the message from a preacher during a prayer meeting and requesting whoever was at the other end to pray for them
- and the best bit was every time I looked out of the window of the train... I saw either a temple or a Church (I suppose I missed out on the occassional mosques)

I have travelled by train frequently ... but I have never ever come across so many religious messages at one go - Delusion... really?
