File talk:Praying Towards the Ka'aba.jpg

Why do you think your analysis is clever? The tradition is that they honor their god by praying in a certain direction. Do you think you've come up with a zinger that Muslims will somehow hang their heads in shame at and opponents will say "Aha! You're doing it wrong! Take that, Muslims! You can't even do your own bogus religion right and I KNOW BETTER because I'm autistically hyper-literal!!!" You've come up with a petty pedantic objection that I immediately rolled my eyes at. Congratulations. Nutty Roux (talk) 17:33, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I mean, it's actually less dumb than, say, transubstantiation, because at least you could walk(and swim) the direction you're praying, and eventually end up in Mecca.  It's not like Muslims imagine that they're actually facing the kaaba.  It's just a strawman you're making here.  Ikanreed (talk) 17:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Screw you and subtlety be damned. FCP is always right and all those interminable, needlessly pedantic, and meandering discussions prove it. Nutty Roux (talk) 17:44, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * EC. What? A know-it-all antitheist making a strawman argument on Rationalwiki? I've never seen such a thing. Also, "autistically hyper-literal" made my fucking morning. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 17:46, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't mean it as a smear, but a direct observation of behavior I observe over and over. I just read an essay on WP that really helped me understand how aspies describe their own experiences. I have no idea what FCP's deal is. Just observing behavior. Nutty Roux (talk) 17:51, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * But... I was agreeing with you, that it's stupid, and projects a false thought process onto Muslims? Why "Screw you" other than my past problems?  Ikanreed (talk) 19:09, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe Nutty was sarcastically inferring that your conclusions were incorrect because FCP is always right. - Grant (talk) 19:27, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh. That makes sense.  I guess I need to stop interpreting things in a mental framework where Nutty is out to get me.  Ikanreed (talk) 19:31, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm totally always out to get you, but Grant was correct. Nutty Roux (talk) 21:04, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I should be nicer to FCP. FCP, your picture is really nice and I like your analysis. Have a good day. I'm going now. Nutty Roux (talk) 21:05, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm all for telling religious people they're doing their religion wrong, but telling them that they should be praying into the ground because the Earth is curved seems kinda... silly? 141.134.75.236 (talk) 23:01, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow, Nutty, you really captured my thoughts.
 * I added the section not least so that its ideas could be rebutted. But hey, I guess I'm too autistically hyper-literal!!! to notice how stupid said interpretation is.
 * Thanks for the insults, Nutty. 00:41, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
