God the mechanic

Colourful Indian temple in Singapore_by_my puffin  
Broken souls, broken cars; same thing really. In both case we need a great mechanic every once in a while.  One who comes highly recommended, and in places greatly respected, to restore our engines and mend our brokenness. Well, maybe not exactly.

The Hindus in Pakistan are currently outraged about the decision to turn a - once famous for its beautiful architecture - one century old temple into an auto repair shop. 

History and religion might dictate that a Hindu temple is not just the house of God but ‘is’ God and should therefore be regarded in the highest esteem. But then again, like car models, times have changed, and this is our new history… Cars replacing worshipers.
