From The Vault: When Ancient Cosmologies Inform Modern Sensibilities

Whose hands are pointed towards heaven in worship?

Our God is an awesome God He reigns from heaven above... Which above?

The Earth spins on its axle at 23.5 degrees. At the same time it is circling around the sun. What if during this complicated process of movement you are worshipping and the Earth turns away from heaven? Can you be worshipping and raise your hands towards… Hell? If I in the northern part of the globe am raising my hands to heaven where is my brother in Australia pointing his hands?

    The Earth spins on its axle at 23.5 degrees.

    So… is that like a “dually,” or what?

    More importantly, you’ve drawn some dude worshipping in Antarctica when everybody knows that the only people that are there are scientists! Blasphemous heathens! It was their fault that we know that the earth actually rotates… They ruined it for everybody. They and their kind secretly plot from what can probably only be described as a “fortress of solitude” in the Antarctic about the downfall of everything I hold dear, including my geocentric worldview. I’m insulted that you would assume there would be any worship happening there at all…

    heaven is limited to a spot just north of the united states…duh. besides the earth is just under 6000 years old and flat. with the great sky dome of god protecting america from the evils of satan unless of course america continues to disobey god’s law. and by american i mean the usa which god founded to be his kingly beacon of hope.

    i should have done that in all caps to make it more authentically crazy.

      That would’ve rocked if you had worked in a reference to KJV and the Democrats or “Obama the Antichrist”

      And remember there is a limited spot just north of the states: it’s called Canada and it is heavenly.
