Flat Easrth Society is Growing

Quote:The mission of the flat Earth Society is to promote and instigate discussion of the flat earth theory
This kind of thing show me how much I've taken my education for granted. I've not understood how anyone can believe a book that says the earth is flat. But only because I took it for granted that it's common knowledge that the earth is round.
Notice their mission is not to show and prove but to prromote and institgate discussion. They put such nonsense on a level with true science by calling it a theory, when very few people even know what a theory is in scientific terms.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

It's not growing. It's just more vocal.

Flat Earthers are largely harmless enough nutters. They aren't burning people for the heresy of a (mostly) spherical Earth, for example, or killing their kids for dating Round Earthers (

I'm not all that fatootzed about the Flat Earth Society.

Sadly because of their beliefs, reality can never dawn on them.

OP: What a crappy, crappy web site. It's got to be a joke.

The people who believe such crap may be a joke, but they really believe it, so it's no joke to them.
