There you go, they'll just ignore your arguments.
Or when you used double sunset to debunk flat Earth. The thing is that sunsets already debunk their flat Earth model. According to them, the sun never sets but just moves on different areas of flat Earth. Sunset itself did not debunk the flat Earth model thousands of years ago because people didn't know how big Earth is so they thought that the sun just sets below the flat Earth and rises on the other side in the morning, but flat Earthers today know that there is always day somewhere in the world so they made a model of Earth with the sun constantly above it, AND yet the sun sets like it is going down instead of just going away. So what is happening? Are they just ignoring sunsets or have they thought up some nonexisting law of nature that validates their claim of flat Earth?
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"
