Can I Get Directions?

Indonesian Muslims Told to Change Direction

Indonesia's Muslims learned that they have been praying in the wrong direction, after the country's highest Islamic authority said its directive on the direction of Mecca actually had people facing Africa.

Muslims are supposed to face the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia during prayer and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) issued an edict in March stipulating westward was the correct direction from the world's most populous Muslim country.

Off On a Tangent

Wasted Prayers


The earth isn't flat.
Ergo praying in the direction of Mecca,
you are actually aiming towards
the emptiness of space.

And That Was Good

Creation Museum Melds Bible Stories, Dinosaurs

"IN THE BEGINNING, the earth around Petersburg in Kentucky was without form, and void, only a scrap yard, a few filling stations and the Cincinnati airport; and Australian Ken Ham said, “Let there be a 70,000-square-foot Creation Museum” that refutes proven science, conventional history, philosophy and most religions."

"And Ken Ham saw that curious folks, millions of them, were willing to pay up to $22 apiece for a contortionist head trip that explains how the earth is only 6,000 years old, and that was good."
