Riddle Sideways: seems it is going to happen this year, after not for two years
Adams Rubble: it will sound trivial but I feel so priviledged to have been able to do the SL version of the hajj
Riddle Sideways: wow. did not know that
Adams Rubble: it was a moving experience even in SL
Adams Rubble: no crowds though
Adams Rubble: Dubrovna and I both did it
Riddle Sideways: limits to the avs allowed per sim to avoid lag ㋡

Adams Rubble: there was a wonderful group that wanted to teach non-believers about Islam

Riddle Sideways: really!
Adams Rubble: yes, it was sad
Adams Rubble: before that i was able to attend a couple of Friday services
Riddle Sideways: more things never heard of

Riddle Sideways: hmmm, wondering about wanering through old landmarks
Riddle Sideways: would it be depressing to find nice places gone?
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: or to do more searching to find the new places
Adams Rubble: Most of the stuff went the way of the academic discount but the Islamic offerings were a religious reaction
Riddle Sideways: you use to have most of the old churches LMs
Riddle Sideways: remember going to many of those
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: Dubrovna kept on top of the sacred sites in SL
Riddle Sideways: how many still exist?
Riddle Sideways: how many new ones have been added?
Adams Rubble shrugs
Adams Rubble: there were many bad builds
Riddle Sideways: ah
Riddle Sideways: what form could religious reaction take that would make a builder take it away?
Adams Rubble: take away the openess
Adams Rubble: the ability to teach those from other faiths
   --BELL--
Adams Rubble: but there were Christian churches that misunderstood the parts of the church
Riddle Sideways: /listens
Adams Rubble: I forget the details now
Adams Rubble: but things were there that did not belong and vice versa
Riddle Sideways: was just searching through SL destinations. so many places
Adams Rubble: I have not done any exploring for a long time
Adams Rubble: just come for sessions
Riddle Sideways: had other things to do today, but look at all these that have just been added to the visit list
Riddle Sideways: all the museums
Riddle Sideways: so many books, so many LMs, so little time ㋡
