Btw, I'm a neutral fella here... I'm not a fan of JKR, not by a long shot, and neither am i a follower of any religious festivals...

God..u know n i know tht i'm not an atheist..but i dont want to believe in all these religious festivals either. I believe that God is too divine a soul to need any kind of appeasement from human beings in the form of all these poojas and festivals. If god needed any favor from human beings, then there wud have been no difference between god and humans...
