Jesus preached the philosophy of love and forgiveness. 'God ... is love', Jesus said. 'Ask, and you shall receive. Knock, and the door shall be opened. Seek, and you will find'. But he also said, 'If you ask me for bread, will I give you stone?', meaning probably that people often ask for one thing when what they really need is entirely something else.
When a crowd once rushed out eagerly to stone an 'immoral' woman, Jesus said, 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone'. At other times, Jesus said, 'If someone slaps you on your left cheek, turn your other cheek to him', and 'Forgive, and forget'.
Today, Christianity as a religion is still well and alive, and growing in numbers. Sadly, it appears as though, as someone once remarked, 'the last Christian died on the cross'.

- Recently did my first ever sledding - it was thrilling!!! and best part was although I was scared to death and afraid of loosing the control on snow board at such a speed ; my daughter, Akshata, who was sitting with me on sled...asked me to hold her as she was afraid (tooo)!!!! Now I could not afford to loose the control...can I? And finally I did it!!!! and she was sooooooo happy...she turned back while getting out of sled and said - "You are the Best Dad in this Whole Wide World!!!!!" Thank you god for everything....
