You are no doubt referring to the Bible, which does not support flat earth theory, despite the pretexts used by its enemies.

It's made up of bullshit, like the sun stopping in the sky. So, yeah, it supports the flat earth theory. How about JC seeing all the kingdoms of the Earth from the top of a mountain? No horizon there. 

You fucks are so lame.

The rational of flat earthers is based on "seeing is believing."
Where whatever is seen and interpreted by the viewer is of the highest order in "evidence."

Have you ever heard that before? It's very familiar on this forum isn't it?

To all appearances the earth is flat, as far as they choose to see.
You don't build your house on a rounded slab do you?
And of course some of the flat earthers have a whole system of reasons to believe what they want.
It sounds so familiar doesn't it?

For some, having such a system of thought is all the proof they need.
What is more, if a large sector of the population believe as they do, then it's definitely true - how could so many people be wrong?

That's a really good argument for some isn't it?

It comes from the same brain gland as anti-vaccine rhetoric.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

We need to set up a trip to visit the edge of the flat earth and have a look at what's below it
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Yes that sounds very familiar.

The earth appears to be flat, the sky appears to be blue, these are observations made by everyone on the surface of the planet... If that's enough evidence for them to believe in a flat earth and a blue sky, then they should question what actually constitutes evidence to them.

There is a saying- a wise man's eyes are in his mind. People need to think about what they can see, and what they can't see.

Even good arguments have to yield to reality.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
