I, for one, welcome our new Matrix overlords, and will be on the holodeck if you need me.
The multiple dieties in Hinduism merely translate to various aspects of the One Absolute Infinite Consciousness.
The thinking here is that the "Absolute" is so unfathomable that everybody has a different view of it (like the fabled elephant and 8 blind men). These aspects can be viewed as different dieties and even as different religions.
Indeed, Hinduism allows and *encourages* different views of the Absolute, and thus is inherently Pluralisitc (accepts all religious paths as equally valid, promoting coexistence).
(speakers on, detach mouse for best effect).
That's all folks, this is it!
Please feel free to enjoy any humorous, and/or clever and/or childish April Fool's anecdotes around my office, my ex-office, my family, the continents, and the dubloo-dubloo-dubloo.dot.www.com's out there, this fine and snowy New England April 1st morning. Rest assured, I'm celebrating with you in spirit wherever you are.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!
