Ignorance? Thanks!

Sorry, I was just saying that for the sake of argument.

No they are not, its just they prove your so beloved science is lying. so you reject the evidence.

You can see the inconsistency in the two Red Bull photos I posted. Do you deny the evidence before your very eyes ?

I notice how no one has yet responded to my experience of hands-on, experimental refutation of a popular flat earth claim.

I'm just waiting for a credible explanation of sunrise and sunset on a Flat Earth ...

There's a few scriptural instances that indicate a flat earth. Some people consider the Bible itself as evidence, sort of like testimony from an esteemed witness on the stand.

You can not even see a sun, moon and stars that is local to to earth. so why would i expect you to be able to see the distance from the earth in these two photos show the same distance or just a mile or two in difference.

Quit wasting my time with your poor perception of distances.

Not one verse in the Bible says that the earth is flat ...

Typical Flat Earther response ... when backed into a corner ...

Maybe not outright. But by reasonable inference if taken literally.

Most, if not all, of the references are plainly metaphorical ...

"To the ends of the earth ... "
"From the four corners of the earth ... "

What is really interesting is that every source, every information that goes against the Flat Earthers' narrative is "them" lying. And "them" is everybody other then the Flat Earthers themselves... and even some that they disagree with are part of "them".

"They" are the leaders, the elites, the wealthy, the educated... even the church is part of "them". "They" are ALL lying to you. Don't trust anything "they" tell you, don't trust anything you learned in school or read in books.

Hm... ok.

But I really wonder why they chose to believe the Bible? Isn't this book promoted for millennia by "them"?

Well, no one has ever accused conspiracy theorists of being consistent in their positions.

Time is on the side of people who believe in a flat stationary earth with the sun, moon and stars moving over the earth and waters above the earth, with God on His throne looking down.
The truth will eventually be reveled, if not before the second coming then the second coming will expose the lies.
It is really only something God can really expose.

Richard Branson will be taking people into space soon. I guess you will say they 'all' lied and used cgi.

You'd be surprised - Hamsters can be pretty ignorant.

But don't you think to yourself, "why now?" Kind of convenient it's all happening when belief in a ball-Earth is collapsing, huh? Maybe hire some more crisis actors and pay some millionaire-passenger actors to pretend they've been in space, and it'll all blow over - crisis averted?

I mean, you can't believe half of these millionaire puppets they throw in our faces got there by legitimate means. Look at Suckerberg. If that dude were the real deal, rather than someone paid to stooge for the CIA, we'd all be rich - even the odd Hamster.

And so goes a major flat earth strategy ... if you don't have the FACTS to convince them, ... imply that they are a part of the deception ...

That's not how real science works, you know.

Flat Earthers make all this noise about being open-minded, yet resort to ad hominem and innuendo when their conclusions are questioned.

She is part of the deception, and so are you. Sorry, just the way it is. That's why I'm speaking out to make you all aware there is a viable alternative, and no amount subsequent posturing, belittling, or insulting will ever change that.

Do you think that this is truly a valid approach to truth ?

Pointing out lies and those who unknowingly promote them? Yes.

Just wanted to make a point that if globalists were half as respectful and considerate as you in answering questions flat-Earthers have for them, I might even consider reconverting back to globalism. I wouldn't do it, of course, because it's just plain wrong, but I'd consider it.

Thanks for your consistent, good-natured temperament, in contrast to many of the globalists on these threads.

And I could, simply, say the same to you.

And where would that get us. Men have differing opinions on matters of the world.

If you have evidence which solidly supports your belief, then share it ... else you have no viability. Demonizing those who disagree with you is a loser's game ...

I have shared it, and truth isn't a matter of opinion.

She asked why people lie about it, assuming everyone else has to be in on the deception willingly. My response wasn't an accusation, but rather directly in line with the question asked. They lie because they don't know the truth. The lie is all that's known by most. It's the same for you, as it once was for me. Every time you say the earth is a ball hurling through space, you are lying because it isn't truth.

So, when people ask me why do others lie about it, I am justified in turning that question around a bit and ask them why are they lying. Of course the answer is that they don't know they are lying, and neither do most everybody else. Question answered.

I do find it interesting that people are getting so butt-hurt to my response, as if I just launched it out there randomly. A direct question on the topic was asked, and a direct answer was given. They lie about it for the same reason the questioner lies about it. Ignorance. The good news is there is a way out of this ignorance, so one can ultimately cease the lying in this area.
