    God is everywhere. If someone is objecting means you will have double indulgence. Keep praying so that God may save this world from disasters like Japan Tsunami & earthquakes. Christianity is sacrifice and love towards our enemies. All Christians should know that God has saved this world till today because of the prayers of Christians & Catholic Nuns (Bitharley Madri) who are praying continuously to God to save this earth they never come out in public.
