Yup.

I think technological advancement among born again scientists peaked with Isaac Newton.

This generation it did. And, Newton was degenerate compared to algebra and geometry knowledge of his contemporaries and academic predecessors.

It is almost painful how awesome technology is today. At best, the math and physics of today is crude - especially compared to Sumerian, Egyptian and Babylonian magic physics, chemistry, biology and math.

Flat is a misnomer; the earth is a plane of existence, with peaks and valleys in the topology.

Walking in a "circle" without a origin point is just a contour. It doesn't really say anything about the geometry other than it can be imagined as a circuit - assuming you walk the entire circuit, and not just an element of the manifold.

So how does a flat planer explain why ALL other planets are spheres but the earth isn't?

Except one has to learn to deny the past, as he moves forward; and they learn to do this on principle.

Geocentrism gave way to heliocentrism; alchemy gave way to chemistry; Phlogiston theory gave way to combustion theory; etc.

This constant updating and updating and updating, anesthetizes one to the realization that he has never been completely right.

So he learns to just take it with a grain of salt, and denials become commonplace.

How easy do you think it was to deny that the Challenger wasn't fit for launch?

I submit it was a piece of cake for a shrewdness of scientists to tell someone, who was telling them the truth, to take a hike.

Yea, that is the lot you have to pay, but it is worth it. If you can catch yourself quick enough in life, the turnabout won't be so bad sometimes. When people mock things (especially something I present), I can't get mad because I know exactly where they are coming from. It is more of a *sigh*, because I know if they have the chance to change their thinking from ridicule to entertainment, at the least they will have to go through their own existentialism (which is rough,) and then how they treated the people whose words they now regurgitate.

Ignorance is absolute darkness, not bliss.
I'm 34 and the experience was horrific, though only because so much of my identity was clearly tied to my prior views. It's no underestimation to say i was a disagree junkie since childhood. FE hit me hard and since I was someone who believed the deep state was overall good (my view of good was upsidedown), FE just hurt. Also, it hurt because I was a firm Luciferian, entirely enveloped in the occult, convinced of my dogma. It hurt more because while I knew (not believed) certain conspiraces were fact (and denied them as such in public), and accepted the reasons for the conspiraces were "good", FE was simply too big to just ignore or lie about.

God tore down my world, and I thank him for it. Through FE, he woke me up, put my head straight, and brought me right to himself. I'm not being dramatic when I say NOTHING else could have brought me to God but this. However, if it turns out false, I won't go running back to mindlessly accepting what I'm told. I'll stops question it all and I'll remain with God. After all, God didn't tell me Earth is flat. He simply used FE to bring me home. If it's false, God used my own deception to bring me home and I can live with that fine.

one version has a black hole at the center to make up for the mass, but it doesn't explain how you stay on the inside.
Uh... wouldn't you fall into the black hole if inside and... how big is it? Wouldn't it be too much gravity?

You have been completely misinformed but, worse yet, you have drunk the kool-aid.

So when people do the Around the World in 80 days challenge, and then end up back where they started, how does that work on a flat earth? Wouldn't they just fall off?

Around the World in Eighty Days - Wikipedia

I don't get why this is even a thing, even for trolling purposes....this is like an adult form of Santa Claus.
It's called "the great circle" and since it's E/W or W/E, it's not an issue for FE.

Correct.

That alone takes care of the left hand (laypersons) being ignorant of the activities of the right hand (those aforementioned.) The ridicule makes for great talking points even for the learned because it rolls downhill: compartmentalized truthisms and platitudes are for distractions of persons.
The compartmentalization is fact. Different compartments are told different things. For example, I knew soneone in one who was told there were bases on the moon. They were also told the first moon landing was done on a stage, yet the others were real. They were given the reasons, and they accepted it all. When I showed this person evidence of harnesses and such on the ISS set, they couldn't explain it.

This is an example of someone told a lie, which is big enough they fall for it, asking the wrong questions and telling the wrong stories. It may also be like levels in an occult society. Perhaps they are tests to see what they will reveal or even to see how they handle the information in general.

But why is it always ships at sea?

You can walk from north to south on land and disappear over the horizon.

Let me ask you this:

If we had the resources, could we build a bridge around the earth from north-to-south and east-to-west?
Yes, E/W. N/S? Not on FE.

This isn't a "winner" post...

The lights above tell you no more about the shape of the Earth than the lights on a ceiling tell you about the floor. Why do people keep asking this ridiculous question? Even when I believed in the spherical Earth, I didn't ask this question to FEs because I knew how utterly STUPID it was and is.

ItsI a religion I'm familiar with and it's false to me. Obviously this is just my opinion.
You make it sound like you becoming a christian didn't exclusively happen because of your FE beliefs.

Do your own research? There are models which explain seasons. Mainly, the sun's circuit (which can work due to the analema), around the assumed disk of the Earth.

I know there are models. In my experience, they all fail for different reasons. I’m asking you.

Then try walking from Boston to Los Angeles.

I'll bet you could do it if you try.

Despite the fact that, theoretically, you should fall off the earth every thirty miles or so.

... or how MANY things like phones, televisions, internet, ect have advanced, yet we still can't leave LEO, still use those ugly pronged electricity sockets, still use copper wire to transfer electricity, and still use combustion engines? Yeah, advanced....

We should have a Trump casino and resort on the moon by now, wireless energy, flying cars, and long since have rid ourselves of combustion engines.

We have left LEO.

still use those ugly pronged electricity sockets, still use copper wire to transfer electricity, and still use combustion engines? Yeah, advanced....

If it works...

We should have a Trump casino and resort on the moon by now,

Why?

wireless energy, flying cars, and long since have rid ourselves of combustion engines.

This strikes me as an odd argument. How do you gauge how much technology we should and shouldn’t have at any given point?
