[Mr_Mark]

He needs to have another talk with his mentor Dale Brown.

i don't understand the going "up and down at a 360 degree angle" comment. oh wait, i'm trying to make sense of this.... never mind

 

[MantisToboggan]

Has any flat-earther ever given a reason for why "they" lie about the earth being flat? I don't see who gains from the earth being round.

 

[Willie99]

I think it's tongue in cheek, self deprecating humor

 

[DNoonan]

Haa now that ShaQ is on board I am going to have to take a closer look at this theory

yeah but it's a long, convoluted very odd explanation. essentially they are saying that there is a cabal of the super rich, governments, and power brokers that wanted to get people away from religion and, especially, christianity so that they could take your money and enslave the general population. Their logic is that if they held true to the Bible's version of Flat Earth that if would be more difficult for them to get you to work in their factories and willingly hand over tax money. By getting you to believe that you are on a magical spinning globe with only gravity keeping you from getting jettisoned into eternal darkness (won't be lit by the sun anymore) that you are subconsciously more willing to pay for, and accept, concepts like "the cosmos" and "galaxies" while at the same time being robbed to create govt programs for fake rockets under the term, NASA that support those concepts.

their explanations/theories take 2hrs to explain (you can find on youtube) and I will admit, they make a few interesting points, in a sci-fi way. But all their points can be dubunked in a 10min or less youtube video lol

Their points can be debunked in 2 seconds of thought. It's kind of like black lives matter IMO. Unhappy and wanting to rebel against the system but doing it through retarded clown bs

You seem to have spent enough thought on this for both of us. Thanks

I can now better focus on 2017 AL East futures

I'm not sure where people get the idea that the Bible teaches a flat earth. There is no such teaching in the Bible... nothing even close.

People in the past claimed that the Bible taught geocentrism, but that is quite a stretch as well.

How are my Red Sox looking? I haven't been following pre-season very closely...

appears regularly in the bible that the Earth is flat, fixed, immovable object https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/febible.htm or http://reflectionofmind.org/60-bible-verses-describing-flat-earth-inside-dome/




there are also passages about how Jesus was taken to the top of a mountain where he could see all the Kingdoms on earth which assumes a Flat Earth

 

[DNoonan]

Seems to me like someone would have reached the edge by now if it was flat?

Nothing in that article shows any Bible verses that say the earth is flat.

 

[Mr_Mark]

I think the quran states the earth is flat, which is probably why these "flat earth" peeps are becoming more common.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Shaq don't believe that. He is very intelligent

This is even more ridiculous then believing the earth is flat

Wonder what their answer is to this.

Is it like the Truman Show, where you would just bump into a wall?
