[quote] It doesn't really mention any other way that Christ was shown all the kingdoms of the world, either. Otherwise, you're just inserting your own meaning into the passage to avoid the conclusion I used that passage for in a vain attempt to disqualify the passage as evidence of a flat earth. [/quote]
[quote]Since you can’t see all the kingdoms in the world from one mountain top, I would conclude that they did not go up there to have a great view. [/quote]
The passage specifically says that Jesus was shown all the kingdoms of the world from a mountaintop. How else can you interpret this?
[quote] Just like when I say, “I am going over to Brent’s house to watch the Superbowl.” You certainly wouldn’t say, “That’s impossible! You can’t see the Superbowl from his house!” I never said I was going over there because I could see the physical game from his house now did I? [/quote]
Actually, you CAN see the Superbowl from Brent's house. You can see it on the television! How this relates to the passage in question I can't fathom. As usual, your analogies fall flat.

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
