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.

If I wanted to start a conspiracy to stop people from believing in Christ, I would start a movement attempting to get Christians to say ridiculous things, so no one would take them seriously. Like saying that the earth is flat.

Well, they're doing a pretty bad job, then, considering that christianity is the biggest religion of the world.

Looking at North America in relation to the rest of the hemisphere, you get a good sense of how silly the "stand atop Mt. Everest" argument really is.

Everest in relation to the size of the Earth would stick out less than a pimple does on your face.

Good post and explanation.
My sloppy approximation of peeling and slicing to get a better 2d interpretation of a sphere. It's more accurate, but far less easy to navigate.

I don't think you're crazy, and am sympathetic to, if not convinced of, the idea of a flat earth. Thank you for posting this. It's still relevant, and worth at least hearing out. God bless you, and thank you for taking an unpopular stance and presenting ideas on it.

This was posted here a while back:

1. Please explain how a flight from Sydney to Santiago (7000 miles) in 12:45 min can happen on the FE model. On the FE map, Sydney to Santiago is a 20,500 mile trip. First there is not one commercial plane that can fly nonstop 20,500. Second, to do the trip in 12 hours 45 minutes the plane would be traveling over 1,600 mph.

2. Please explain how a person in Santiago at 11 pm and a person in Cape Town at 4am (Same exact time just 2 different time zones) can both look due south and see the same pole star (Sigma Octantis), On the FE map South for Santiago is about 90 degrees different than South for Cape Town. You cannot see the same star at the same time looking due south as due south is at right angles for these countries on an FE model.

3. Why is the earth shadow on a lunar eclipse a curve? How does the earth even cast a shadow on the moon if the moon is above us on the dome?

4. Why does the sun and moon not follow the laws of parallax? Both rise and set and travel through the sky without changing size. According to parallax, as they move away from us they should be shrinking. This is not observed. They rise and set, they do not expand and shrink as parallax would predict.

5. Why when you climb a tower, the higher you go the further you can see? FE says that we can only see as far as the vanishing point. How does the vanishing point change based on how high you are?

6. Why do all the surveyors using Geodesy say the earth is curved? Are they in also in conspiracy with NASA and the Government as well?

7. Why is the moon inverted in the southern hemisphere vs. the northern hemisphere?​

Funny how all of his 'evidence' is blatantly false and can be disproven with a 5 minute google search.

It can all be disproved using and doing science. These flat earth christian's are just another branch of the young earth/creationist loonies.

Once you start pointing out the science to them out comes the old satan is deciving you card.
