Whether the earth is flat or not doesn’t solve shit.

It doesn’t make people not evil.

It doesn’t keep people from sacrificing and abusing children.

It doesn’t help us win anything.

If anything, it divides and conquers and people end up arguing about pointless shit.

Let’s take 3 steps forward and zero steps back instead of 1 step forward and two steps back.

Flat earth arguments are for weak minds, given the current situation on planet earth.

Doq, I understand why you think this. It is a huge red pill to swallow. I was where you are now about 2 years ago. Didnt give a crap about the shape, what does it matter and why?

Well, it matters because:

We, people on earth are the center of creation, not a speck in a large universe,
thus PROVING an Intelligent Designer.
Athiests suddenly are hit with the fact Proving God exists.. Believers are vindicated and emboldened in their faith and Agnostics finally will jump off of the fence.

The fear of a meteor hitting us, the sun exploding, axis tilt, climate change, etc Immediately vaporates because we are in an enclosed system.

People then see that NASA, government, military and all of our learning institutions have lied to us all across the earth so that leads them to start wanting to know what else they are lying about.

The peace that finally came over me after learning the truth is indescribable.

You are so spot on @galaxy777 it's not funny. If you're not in absolute awe in realizing where you are and who you are, you simply don't get it. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say drop-to-your knees awe! At least I am and you're right about the peace that washes over you realizing you never have to be afraid, again. Not ever!

Remember, the larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.

One individual in this thread just about soiled his/her pants (apoplectic) that we'd even entertain such a notion. I remember being there. You? After all, being a classically trained pure and applied chemist from a prestigious university bought me some street credit, right? How wrong I was. How naïve I was. This was the gateway to my walk with Christ and, I for one will never look back. This taught me so much more than the silly shape of this planet we call home. At least now if somebody tells me boogers are flammable, I'm going to at least test it. God bless you, each.
