The Earth is Flat!

[Ldude893]

Landover Baptist Church is an example of Poe's law and it's almost indistinguishable from fact. If you want the real idiots, find them here:

I think this can be safely solved by sending everyone who believes in such an idea to space and make them orbit the Earth at least once. That or give the Earth a spin on Google Earth.

Wait...wait...oh man i went back for a read...and started crying at:But for those of you skeptical, close-minded types that flat out refuse to accept the overwhelming Biblical evidence. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhha ha ha....

fake or not that is funny (fake)

Landover Baptist is a joke. It's a satirical site making fun of super-devout Christians.

Regardless, there's really no debate. The earth is round, and I don't think anyone in modern times disagrees.

No the earth is flat!
Thats just what the gov'ement wants you to think so it can subdue the masses and steal your socks!

All the answers are out in the open, people just need to wake up!
No im not paranoid and yes my foil hat is tight enough.

You are right all this round earth nonsense is the goverments doing. They just want my socks. Thats why I had to eat mine to keep them safe. The goverment will never have them. Also got another foil hat I can bother the mole men stole mine.

oh i hope that is true.

If it is not true they would have to be the biggest group of idiots ever.

 

[Beliyal]

Well, that is a joke, so we can all safely assume... Oh wait, there is this [http://theflatearthsociety.org/cms/] however, which is not a joke.

EDIT: ninja'd

Of course the earth is flat, you'd slide off the side if it wasn't, honestly, how can those so called 'scientists' be so thick as to call the earth round. I mean, if the earth was round all those satellites in space would just shoot off into the distance when they couldn't make the turn, everyone knows they hovver.

Really though, there's no-one actually that retarded on this site. Close, but not that bad.

Ding!... You rang?

 

[fix-the-spade]

Wrong.

But, they're having a charity drive. They can't be wrong, they give to charity!

Did anyone else think of something different when they read "Get high"?

I'll believe that the earth is hollow before I believe the earth is flat. Yes there is such as thing as people beliving that the earth is hollow and that aliens live inside.

they arent aliens. they are just a race of humanoid reptials that evolved before man and fleed underground

Waaaait, is there actually any passage in the bible that states the earth is flat? is that even a topic covered in the bible in any way? I think Id remember something like that... Though I did skip the boring bits, which was most of it.

 

[John the Gamer]

We've known for a long time that the earth is round. The ancient greeks knew it, the vikings knew it, medieval sailors knew it and we know it. It's just retards that refuse to know it because their brain is flat.

Spoiler

The sphericity of the Earth was established by Hellenistic astronomy in the 3rd century BCE, and the earliest terrestrial globe appeared from that period. The earliest known example is the one constructed by Crates of Mallus in Cilicia (now Çukurova in modern-day Turkey), in the mid-2nd century BCE.[1]
No terrestrial globes from Antiquity or the Middle Ages have survived. An example of a surviving celestial globe is part of a Hellenistic sculpture, called the Farnese Atlas, surviving in a 2nd century AD Roman copy in the Naples Museum, Naples, Italy.[2]
Early terrestrial globes depicting the entirety of the Old World were constructed in the Islamic Golden Age. One such example was constructed in the 9th century by Muslim geographers and cartographers working under the Abbasid caliph, Al-Ma'mun.[3][4] Another example was the terrestrial globe introduced to Beijing by the Persian astronomer, Jamal ad-Din, in 1267.[5] Wikipedia

It's true, though, that the earth isn't round.

It's an oblate spheroid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblate_spheroid]--it bulges very, very slightly at the equator.

i think the only passages are ones that mention the earth being a circle or having corners or edges. the edges one sounds a bit iffy to me. you cant shake someone off the edge of the world.

yeah, I thought they were about to promote drug use. maybe something like: take drugs, you'll hallucinate. the earth will seem to go all wavery, but because you're hallucinating you will later know that it is in truth flat. then they brought up mountains.

 

[crudus]

This is completely satirical. You can tell by the way they mention "gravity". It is actually hilarious as hell.

 

[Aiden_the-Joker1]

People believed the earth was spherical before the bible was created, in fact the first recorded person to think this was in Mesopotamia one of the first civilizations. One of these arguments is to show the you fall straight back down then in the other it disregards his first point. I don't need to be here he is pointing out the flaws himself.

Urgh, people are still saying this? my brain hurts.
