Flat Earth And Christianity

[JohnEmmett]

This is a claim written down … There is not evidence for this event outside that text.

hence faith… rather than evidence

 

[rturner76]

I've found that the idea is immediately attacked and dismissed

As it should be. Flat Earth science is just fantasy and does the church no good.

One of these things is not like the others.


These are things that can be repeatedly tested with a variety of evidence.



This is a claim written down on in a text with a dogmatic purpose. There is not evidence for this event outside that text. (And "hundreds" only appears in a single verse from a single author within that large text.)

And yet a man can claim to be a women, claim to have periods, and have babies ~ and secularism is ok with that. Even make laws enforcing this flat earth religion upon the nation.
That's what I call a flat earth religion and a bunch of believers who blindly follow it in a fundamentalist fervor.

I have whiplash now from the sudden lurch in the thread. Expect to hear from my lawyer.

I am simply curious how secularists who question how some Christians follow flat earth while supporting a real flat earth religion of their own.
Quite a quandary I think.

I sure could not figure
that segue either. Kinda weird.

That just made it worse.

What is wrong with a surge? Things have changed in the last few years. Brings a new light to the question.

I have no use for religion, flat earth or otherwise.

Now are you arguing for a flat earth, because I don't feel like scrolling back multiple pages to find out.

No... not at all. I do not support any flat earth religions.
Flat earth religions differ from faith religions like Christianity.
Christianity is primarily based on belief in things that cannot be seen.
Flat earth religions are based on the denial of things that are seen, like the spherical nature of the earth, and scientifically verifiable gender of an individual. So to address the OP directly, Christianity denies a flat earth religion, while secularists promote one.

I think many flat earthers really aren't. I suspect they just like to stir the pot for fun to break up the boredom of life.

I do not know any personally. I think they mistake being faithful to Christianity with denial of reality. This is why I believe in a form of evolution and the old earth concept. I think the worst of religion, Christianity or whatever, is the denial of reality and calling that faith.

They get views on Youtube which generates income. I suspect that is the motivation for many.

I'd have to rely on science, religion, and my own rational thinking and senses in order to answer this. However, unaided by God, human nature is insufficient and even delusional in regards to Truth. I don't even know if the earth being round or flat has any relevance to The Divine Wisdom.

What form of evolution is that?

I think the worst of religion … is the denial of reality and calling that faith.

The religious accept the afterlife

Truth, capital noun, is an ideal and
abstract, and, imo, imaginary, nonexistent.

A Platonic ideal. The Quest for it is
idle, a waste of time.
Many become, yes, quite
delusional in the Quest,
worse than a mere waste.

This can’t be true

1. You are equivocating. Secularism and science are distinct entities.
2. If an individual has periods and is able to become pregnant and give birth, then describing her as a woman seems rather logical. No?
3. Politics is also distinct from secularism and science.

Your thinking seems a little confused. If you insist upon equivocation and careless application of terminology, confusion will follow.

Exactly.
