  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And how silly would you feel If you were wrong...

I would have to be pretty silly to believe that 99.9999% of the Earth's population is engaged in a grand conspiracy against me.

Do airlines let their pilots in on the dirty little secret, so that they can correctly navigate their way across a flat Earth?

I came to this belief on my own, no one "did" anything to me. Its what the education systems have done to you all that should be a crime.

I'm sure you'd like us to believe that...but almost no one comes to hold your beliefs on their own. They have to be perpetuated by indoctrinated because there's so many good reasons not to believe them.

Lots of people know about it, its not that hidden. If you want to seek out the truth there is more than enough evidence to prove it.

No. None of my friends are Christian. None of my family is Christian. I believed this before I started going to church. God put it on my heart to learn this when I reading Genesis and suddenly everything clicked. The firmament is real.

We found the edge in 1958 in Antarctica.

Again, since the overwhelming majority of christians believe in a round earth....this conspiracy isn't to hide god from anyone.

So what's the reason for it?

They believe in God in theory.

To know that God is physically outside of the firmament is a whole different ball game.

I don't think that matters to god, does it?

You're saying god is going to stop some christians from entering heaven since they believed that the earth is round?

Absolutely not, God's creation is what it is, he doesn't need to defend it.

But I think it matters to us.

That's why I'm posting it.

We should know that we're not moving 1.5 million miles per day through space around the sun.

How? How does it matter?

I've shown you it's not stopping people from believing in god...and you just stated you don't think god cares....

So what's the point of this massive conspiracy? You still haven't given one that makes any sense.
