This thread reminds me of a Christian friend of mine in India.

He goes to the mass in church, reads the bhagavad Gita and fasts meticulously every day in ramadan following the proper procedures.

Due to his 6 foot 1 inch stature, fair skin, long hair and beard, and good looks, he looks very much like Jesus Christ, and I have seen western tourists in India crossing themselves on seeing him, much to our amusement.

Though he is considered a bit eccentric by some due to his unorthodox ways, I am very proud to have him as my best friend, and thank the Divine for having him in my life.
