The earth is flat. (Impossible to debunk)

Since you are already a believer. It wouldn't. It's just a global conspiracy of satanic Freemasons to make sure as few as possible people believe in Christ.
Is there any benefit in believing the Earth is actually flat?

Does this belief change anything in people's day to day lives?

Why don't they just fly straight?

They do fly straight (with some slight deviation sometimes to avoid unfavourable winds). If you mark the route on a globe, you can see that.



In addition to this. I didn't know they flew directly. But that doesn't make any difference

It completely demolishes your argument, of course.

But you're trolling, aren't you? I guess the same is true for your other threads.

No. It does not since you all are believers. It is just a satanic worldwide conspiracy to "hide" God.
Because a flat earth model is definite proof of an intelligent creator.

This Satanic worldwide conspiracy must be doing a pretty good job since I've never seen him and believe the earth is round.

Have you seen the photos of all the other planets in our solar system? What do you think of them?

The first two maps you show are both flat. I know you probably don't want to support the global globe industry, but buy yourself a globe and a piece of string, and see how all these routes look on a globe.

The "planets" are 7 angels that disobeyed God, the 7 wandering stars. As described in Enoch. Calling God a liar?

Here's a quick summary


Satan tells Jesus that he's willing to give Jesus the entire riches of the earth if Jesus just bows before him. Thus the devil controls the earth.

And satan despises man. So he wants to see as many humans go to hell.

The greatest trick the devil has ever pulled, is convincing the world he doesn't exist.

Even Ted Gunderson, former FBI boss told television that there is a satanic shadow government.


You have been lied to your entire life. A lie told once is a lie. But a lie told a thousand times becomes truth.

One problem that seems to confuse people is the "projection" of spherical surface onto a flat surface in the form of a map. This cannot be done without introducing a distortion. This can be likened to very carefully peeling an orange all in one piece and then trying to flatten the whole thing out. This cannot be done without a good deal of stretching (which doesn't work well with orange peels) or by cutting the peel strategically to reduce the stretching. The article below details a number of projections that have been attempted over the centuries:

List of map projections - Wikipedia

The Mercator projection is one of the earliest and most common but it is also one of the most distorted. It is reasonably accurate close to the equator but moving north and south the distortion eventually becomes extreme. Greenland and Africa appear to be the same size but in reality Greenland is only 1/6 the size of Africa.

We all know that the shortest distance between two points on a flat surface is the straight line connecting them. However on a spherical surface a straight line can only connect them by boring through the body of the sphere. If we are restricted just to the surface of the sphere then the shortest distance is actually an arc (try this with a string on a globe) which is sometimes termed a "great circle route". When we try to map a great circle route onto a flat map it comes as no surprise that it projects as a curve giving the mistaken illusion that it is not actually the shortest distance.

Were you aware that Satan is a liar.

the Bible does not say the earth is flat.
Why do you want to insist on that?
