This Takes the Cake

I highly doubt they do. The modern incarnation of Flat Earth Society is just a bunch of religious nuts, who probably never even heard of telescopes. Or maybe they have some wacky hand-waving explanations. Who knows? I can't even imagine being bored enough to read through their nonsense...

Nope, for them
- Other planets are a hoax. Those are just dots on the sky-dome surrounding earth (similar to how we build landscapes in average 3d games)
- The sun is a hovering spot-light just a few kilometers above earth (again, video game logic)

RE: This Takes the Cake
Aw man, what a cop out. My next question would be where do they think the space shuttles went after racing towards the sky at super sonic speed, but instead of an elaborate parachute breaking system or something similarly awesome, they probably just think they were a hoax as well. That's no fun.

If I were a Flat Earthtard, I would choose to believe that atheists and the Satan lizards secretly constructed a space shuttle factory hanging on the inside of the dome. All the shuttles actually crash and explode on impact with the dome, and the factory sets to work on making a module to drop from the sky. Oh and clones are involved, obviously.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

its no less stupid than having God come down and impregnate a human and create a man/God hybrid creature to save humanity from His own Judgement on them , resulting in endless war and corruption since.

but funny listening to the reactions of people hearing her theory of Space LOL @ 10:20 God turns off the light from the moon not supporting freeloaders and then they ask why dont you go to walmart and get a telescope and she says 'how bout no i dont trust what i see through a telescope" lol thanks for sharing Smile

QFT
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

I have to say this. My daughter came home from school on Friday.

She said, "Mom, did you know that people thought the earth was flat?"

I said, "Yes."

It was one of those things you had to be there. She is a very smart kid. She was shocked beyond disbelief that people really did think that. Apparently looking through these posts that there are still people who believe this crap. My 10 year old daughter even knows better than this.

Oh, I already told you,

The aeroplanes, space shuttles, and anything that they can't perfectly capture on their mobile's vga cameras, are supposed to be demons in disguise. They have video evidences too, just look up sky-demon conspiracy theories.

I sometimes wonder if they have actually, physically ever stepped out of their basements....

This is why secular education, and even every non-home-school education is the devil's work, Blondie. They make kids too smart to be brainwashed. One of the main reasons that the Bible, right from genesis, condemns knowledge. Yet people still believe it. Sigh!! Undecided

Yeah, really stupid woman there. My father-in-law's mother didn't believe anybody had visited the moon. She said everything above the earth was "God's Kingdom". Dodgy

Anyway, props to you as a theist for being to actually watch anything from the Amazing Atheist. Apparently, you have more tolerance than I do. I find him to be extremely grating.
