pckts,
You said you were in the Military. Did you ever travel anywhere? Are you aware that, if you did so travel, the transportation you used — and how to make the steel, glass, and aluminum it was constructed of....... not to mention the fuel that powered it, is mentioned nowhere in the Bible?

It is bordering upon insanity to believe all we ever need to know is contained within the pages of that little book.

Why are you attending a college? From what you said, you don't need it a bit. You could just stay home, reading your Bible. Don't you sense even a little bit of the hypocrisy you espouse?

I'm not being hypocritical because I never stated all the information in the world was contained in The Bible.

The Truth of this world is contained in The Bible, and if an outside source says otherwise, the outside source is wrong. Not ALL The Truth, but everything inside is True. Do you understand now?

Fantasy is fun to believe in. I think the flat earthers just like the entertainment value contained in the fiction of it all.

Oh come on Sirk, they take it very seriously...

I have wondered if the earth is a disk, what stops it starting to spin and fling us sideways?
Might get a little awkward getting thrown across a room, and possibly fall off the edge of the
world.

And what causes the tides, because it for some strange reason appears to be linked to
where the moon is in the sky. It must be very big to have such a large effect... lol

I can't be too sure. Neither can you, unless you love thy government with all thy heart, and all thy soul, and all thy mind.

Then you can believe everything they tell you with 100% because that is true faith.

i saw it with my own eyes. Was it an image projected onto a screen to deceive us even more?

On the Flat Earth Model the stars move in a circular patter and the earth is stationary. You don't know this though and I have to slowly teach you the theory step by step.

Ok, seeing it tells you it exists. You don't know exactly what is or why it does the things is does.

So everything else is round but the earth is flat and everything rotates around us for our viewing pleasure. Got it.

I never denied these objects exist, I deny what the government tells you they are.

I was 12 years old when Sputnik was launched. We knew the exact times it would pass across our southern skys. And we stood out in front of our house, and actually watched it.

Are you claiming our government possessed the knowledge and ability to fake that? They had barely invented televisions a short while earlier.

No, I'm now claiming that you are a liar and bringing in "personal" unverifiable information into the discussion because you have exausted all your other resources and are backed into a corner.

I debate facts, not personal accounts of your childhood.

What exactly are the facts and what proof do you offer? Based on Willie's observation he did indeed saw something moving in the sky in his childhood. Too me, that's a verifiable fact. As this was the first satellite that was placed into orbit it had to be Sputnik. Or a UFO. Which is more believable? This was witnessed also by thousands of people. I have seen satellites in the sky also. Living in Florida I have also seen the space shuttle lift off into space many times as well as other rockets.

Well to you another person's childhood memory is a verifiable fact, but to me these are just words.

The only facts I gave were the Scriptures that support Flat Earth Theory and deny the credibility of the theories you subscribe to handed to you by the sources you trust more, men's words(and their false videos and images count as their word).

What is the shape of the flat earth, is it round, square, rectangle? I have asked this before to others that believe as you do so I will ask you - what exactly is on the edge of the flat earth, is it cities, oceans, mountains? Has anybody ever been on any part of the edge and documented what was there? If someone was on the edge he probably fell off and is now floating in space. Maybe that's what Willie saw.
