Quoting Trudy:

I just posted this text because it was news. And yes, to me extra ordinary news. However, I did not meant to mock.



I think you posted an intersting article Trudy, it is not you that mock but those (some of those) that follow!

Sad thing is, we are used to them by now! Even an interesting article like this, about a man going to space, still wanting to practice his religion. They ruin it with their ignorant comments and jokes.

Agree. Any student of philosophy or sociology, even if they were a total atheist, would be fascinated by the concept.

I once heard (don't know if it is true, or if it was just an apocryphal story) that the Vatican had debated what to do if life was found on Mars. They decided there would be the following options or outcomes:
1. People on Mars had never sinned, so have no need of a Saviour. We should leave them alone as we would infect them with our sin.
2. People on Mars sinned, and Jesus went to Mars separately to save them, too. We should embrace them as brothers and sisters.
3. People on Mars sinned, and Jesus death on earth was in order to save them too. We should therefore send missionaries to Mars to tell them the good news about a Saviour.

I would expect the Islamic leaders to have at least considered the issue. If people are found on Mars, do they need to pray five times a day. If so, facing Mecca on earth, or some other direction? Do they need to fast in Ramadan, if so according to Mars days or Earth days

Good post! It helps us think about whether legalism in religion matters or whether the human heart and our intentions matter more to God.

Trudy ... your intentions are clear, at least to me!

to Badiadancer;

first of all, it is so easy to find the location of mecca from space, with a simple algorithm, everything is known:

1) the latitude and longitude of mecca
2) the speed and direction of space shuttle
3) the speed of the earth around itself and on its orbit

so with a simple mathematical algorithm they can find the direction to mecca

and while i was in austria, thank god i am back now
there was a guy who told me that they also fast for 40 days but the difference is they just drink...

another question, if thanksgiving they is not something religious whats it for? and whom why you thank for at that day?

I think that guy did not spoke from a faster's wievpoint. fast does not include drinking.
christianity includes protestanism, which was a protest against catholicism. it is true that christian society admits atheism, accepts those who do not keep religious procedures. even other religions. nowadays christianity forms tolerant societies. and became a tolerant religion.
