Meteor Causing Religious Confusion
Churches and Mosques Mysteriously Call Faithful to Prayer in the Middle of the Night Along Atlantic

A strange phenomenon is beginning to reveal itself as reports show that on September 29th, a great number of Christian church bells rang at the same time on the Eastern Coast of the Americas and the Western coasts of Europe and Africa at 12:43 AM Greenwich Mean Time. At first local authorities believed many of the churches acted independently or perhaps it was an organized calling to the faithful. However, the incredibly odd timing, the vast area affected and the fact it included various Christian denominations often hostile to each other makes many people now doubt that. In addition, many of the pastors and leaders of these churches have reported no such cooperation or actions.

Adding another strange twist to the ringing of the bells, it is now being reported that likewise a multitude of mosques on those same coasts all played their call to prayer, Adhan, at 12:49 AM GMT, not a normal hour for prayer. Many Imans have reported that it was not a purposeful act because "such holiness would not be used so randomly and meaninglessly."

An Anglican bishop who wished to remain anonymous said, "I believe this event was a direct act of the Lord, reminding His people of His words 'The Lord will come like a thief in the night.' What is more like a thief in the night than this?" He had no comment or explanation for the mosques' adhan playing just six minutes later in a similar fashion.

Dr. Alexander Lutrova, oceanographer, believes that there is a scientific explanation for it. "Just before this so called religious event, a meteor was observed in the sky and it appeared to have crashed into the Atlantic. Between the electromagnetic interference of the meteor burning through the atmosphere and the tidal wave/earthquake caused by its crash into the ocean its more likely that these bells and stereos, mostly powered by electric currents and controlled by computers in this modern age, simply switched on as a result. That is much more likely than some divine miracle."

Many people on the Internet have already criticized this theory as it does not explain why other computerized systems were not effected, the time delay between the two events and why some churches with non-computerized bell systems found them ringing. In fact some people take the fact that there was a bright light in the sky before it happened, meteor or not, as further proof of the divine. Without a doubt, both scientist and theologian will be following further reports on this phenomenon and it is unlikely that either side will agree with the other's answer.

Well the results are in and one character has fallen through the cracks and is inactive for this cycle:

Persephone

If you find yourself inactive, you get your character reactivated by emailing us with a plot you intend to do. You must start this plot by the next activity check after submitting it or face the possibility of that character being booted from the game.

It's the third Saturday of the month and we all know what that means. So, check your pups.

Remember activity is defined as:

- a scene
- a journal entry
- three responses to someone else's journal entry
- participation in a thread scene

If anyone is having problems with making activity (and is not on some form of hiatus), please contact the mods. Activity is important to keep the game running. More often than not, plots and series of scenes have come equally from grand ideas and from random things done.
