    Flat Earthers are only a hairline removed from Creationists.

    Lets say for the sake of argument that the earth is flat.

    What does that change? Which of the worlds problems are solved by this revelation?

    None.

    They'd be worse. Even less trust would be placed on scientific studies/findings/research.

    Actually I think that would be a good thing.

    Trust... but verify.

    Sure, & for most things that directly touch my life, I agree. But what about medicine?

    If one science is held to low regard, when does it stop?

    Flat earth logic. The ship sank. For the earth is flat.

    I dont trust our medical system at all. Prolly half the research I do is medical related. Doctors still prescribe statons to people even though it literally dissolves the cholesterol that the brain is made of (it eats holes in ur brain!) and is the leading suspected cause of alzheimers/dimentia.

    Just for one of thousands of examples.

    It stops when you accept the bible as the literal truth and nothing but the truth.

    Well, for one thing, I'd have to be a hell of a lot more careful about where I go sailing.

    I understand that, & again, I personally try to get as much information, from as many sources as possible regarding anything I or my family might face.

    My point being, we'd see even fewer researchers, doctors etc., if the Earth was flat, & it was shown that this fact had been hidden from the entire globe, since forever.

    Anyway, LOL, thankfully, this is all spitballing!

    Which version/translation?

    I should say, I do consider Jesus a close personal friend.

    Oh it proves a satanic conspiracy, that science is satanic and the truth is only found in the bible.

    Does not matter. A parable is not to be taken literally. The bible uses literary instruments, allegory, analogy, metaphors, and if you read it as literal, it in some parts becomes the utterances of village idiots. So it requires intelligence and context and even a knowledge of the eras in which it speaks about. So, if the bible is trying to tell us as truth that life is 6000 years old, or that the earth is flat, because it literally says that, it is a lie not truth. In order not be be a lie, requires a non literal interpretation which non fundamentalist theologians will attest to. And they have known this and said this for a very long time.

    You must be a minister.

    You should stop judging or lest you be judged. How unchristian like of you! Try reading what christ taught. You might learn something. I can spot a genuine christian, quite easily. Their thoughts/words are like signs. And you do not sound like one. Not judging, just discerning what kind of tree I am looking at here.

    Don't be so dense. The bible is a mixture of literary instruments used to communicate. Anyone who is educated knows this. Theologians know this. But for some reason you don't?

    I'm not judging. God gives us discerning minds.

    I was simply holding YOU to YOUR words.

    Sorry if you were in error.

    Not my problem.

    Error? lol. If you are clueless that the bible does not use literary instruments to communicate ideas, you are the one in error. And this is what you seemed to say. Bible scholars would agree with me, for that is where I learned about it. Although it was already obvious, but they just verfied what I had noticed.

    Flat Earth.
    Why Not?

    What has the round or spherical Earth done for you lately?
    Devalue your employment via globalism?

    Moi supports discism, not globalism. Could it be a worse deal?

    You are my favorite poster just because all of your posts read like you wrote them while peaking on acid.

    Bravo.

    Did you watch the video? It's a joke. Makes me wonder if the OP is just a really committed POE.

    If so the joke would be on me because I engaged seriously.

    That would be like engaging in an argument with someone that believed there was a giant purple gorilla in low earth orbit.

    I think this is a parody.
