Understandable, I mean you get the same results talking to the moon as you do to any other God anyway.

Um... no. Muslims don't worship a moon god. They do keep a lunar calendar for determining certain religious events -this is why the dates of Ramadan change every year relative to the solar calendars that are common in the West)- but that's about as close as it gets.

And I think you mean "fundamentalist", not "fundamental". Then again, perhaps "messed-up" is a better term for someone that far gone. Tell me, is he a fan of Jack Chick?

Similar thing happens to find the date of easter.

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

I prefer praying to Joe Pesci. He can at least get things done.
