Wow. You're pretty thick, Jop. :| I'm having a hard time believing you can't believe that no Christians at all can be incompetent/misinformed, same as anyone else.

Not like that though. Sure anyone can be misinformed but to THAT ridiculous degree is what is absolutely outrageous. Nobody in their right mind could right that. Unless it was written like that on purpose.

That site (I can tell) is just made for the sole purpose of persecuting Christians.

Of course it is, but that doesn't mean it was made up; people can be pretty stupid. Ever heard of the Flat Earth Society? [Wiki Article]

And to clarify some things. That thing says "the Bible tells us the Earth is flat" is completely wrong. The Bible says the earth is round. Like in Is 40:22 it says "It is He who sits above the vault of the earth...". Translation of "vault" means circle or globe.

Second one Ez 7:2 "...An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land." You'd have to be an idiot not to know that "four corners" means the directions North, South, East, and West.

As for Dn. that doesn't exist. If it's Deuteronomy then the abbr. should be De. I even checked to make sure and those verses talk about David's armies and such.

Mt 4:8 "Again, the devil took Him to a very high place, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory." Since God isn't bounded by simple human laws like we are that would mean He was outside the atmosphere looking at the planet. You could see everything up there.


Either the person, Christian or otherwise, who wrote that was a complete idiot and took the Bible literally in its whole or just couldn't understand or translate terms used then into modern language.

I think you're the one who's taking it too literally. I'll let you decide what 'it' is. :)

The flat Earth faced challenges posed by photographs of the earth from space and later the moon.
Wow, they are arguing even after seeing photographs :lol:

An ice wall? :lol: Apart from being completely ridiculous, I don't see how that would stop people from falling off the earth.

Heh. Looks like the 'Ring is going to be getting the world's fastest rollercoaster come 2009. Can't really find any articles on it (in English), but there's plenty of rollercoaster forums with more info.

people just wanna share the last time they reintroduced that pizza to the world.


(Offtopic regarding rollercoasters: Found this on the flat earth society page: The Flat Earth Society is not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut. )

True that, they're definitely not in their right mind...
A friend of mine has this in his signatur on a different forum, it's really spot on: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Yeah, the site is probably dedicated to going against the extreme Christians, but when they write that kind of stuff, they kinda have it coming. :P

I am still amazed how people can be like just as bad as the people they say are bad, it doesn't make sense.
I don't get what the point is in the whole christian/athiest bashing, your not solving anything just making stuff worse.
The sad thing is there are people believing stuff that is written how stupid it might sound....

And he if people want to believe the earth is flat, let them, as long as they don't bother me with it and start telling me I will fall of when I want to go to Australia. :lol:
