Matter of Faith?

Are we actually moving backwards? What can explain all those well dressed and educated (even fluent English speaking) people who were seen at the Mahim beach, actually sampling the sea water that had turned sweet. They were literally considering it a miracle of a god man. One look at the water, and you would safely assume that the so called god man would have at least made an effort to filter the water of the floating solid waste when he made it sweet. It is incredible that people actually deigned to take a sip of that water after seeing it's colour and contents. On any other occasion, I am sure they would not even use it to wash their clothes!
And then there was the case of the idols drinking milk in temples... this time, not just ganesha idols. And the only thing you are left thinking is, "Not again!"
And if that was not enough, I just saw the news report of a particular building whose residents are feeling blessed. The reason? The moss growing on one side of the building has taken the shape of the face of Sai Baba. Unbelievable. That's all I can say.
