ABSTRACT Based upon Weber's framework, the researcher would try to describe empirically the characteristics relationship between mosque and its community in reference to social and asocial behavior. Derived from the framework mentioned above, the researcher proposes two if statements: (1) Whereas people around the mosque could live peacefully and have no problems with its performance and programs, the mosque should be methodological, (2) On the other hand, in the case of the mosque has been ruled according to common sense only and not methodologically scientific way, then it must be asocial for its community. In order to apply the theory into an operational level, the researcher combines Weber's theory with some middle-range-theories from BergerLuclanann-Kellner, Garfinkel, and Clifford Geertz. The unit study of the research is individual and presented with qualitative and narrative style as shown in the title of this paper: The Daily Stories. After having examined some mosques, the researcher found almost every mosque in our community has a mythological type so he decided to focus on the second if-statements. Here the conclusions are: (1) A mythological mosque will produce some conflicts in any level with public has been proved in urban areas, (2) On the contrary, people in rural areas have no objections nor more attention to whatever the mosque will do. Consequently, such a situation has created a mythological circle: from a mythological community to a mythological mosque. Keywords: knowledge - fact � awareness -- methodology � mythology.
