So you don't think there are any trolls in the FE movement?
Well, there was one example of Shaq joking that Earth was flat and he proved that you can't joke about it because FE took it seriously and he had to apologize of spreading misinformation.
But you know how it is: people believe in all sorts of stupid things like Arthur Conan Doyle believed in faeries, or people believe in Sai Baba, creationism, fake Moon landings, Santa etc so I don't see how this in particular would be a joke or more insane compared to that.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
