Happy Diwali/Deepavali to you! Cheers to the celebration of good over evil, and to the coming together of families, friends and communities. It's more of a cultural thing in my country that unites everyone, whether they are Christian, Muslim or Hindu.

That's true. It's common for churches here to have Diwali themed decoration of the sanctuary for Mass on Diwali day. This decoration usually consists of lots of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diya_(light)"]diyas[/url] on the floor in front of the altar.

What's wrong with Jainism?

It's a false religion.

To be honest, I'd never met a Jew until coming to Australia. They aren't very welcome in Islamic Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. :(

I hope you caught that he's a sarcastic fellow. And yes, that discrimination is a tragedy, indeed.
