Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT!

Let's see...

You mean you committed the same errors they did?

Argumentum ad hominem, reductio ad ridiculum, red herring, ignoring my last response to you

Never admit to having weak sources. Say, "I don't personally understand the science behind all of these phenomena, but reputable people have assured me that..." and then it's up to the fishvisitor to prove your non-existent expert wrong.

I was just proving more reading material. Most of his proofs are retarded, but some of them carry weight. Also; red herring, abusive fallacy, misleading vividness

Not very, obviously

Red herring, Ignoratio elenchi, and you never actually disproved it. Just spouted out words you didn't understand from a Wiki page and hoped I got intimidated.

Look, the flat earth thing may be all funny and shit to you, but Landover deals with a much more serious business, religion. Learn yourself some KJV. Read the whole thing. Realize that it requires no fabrication or embellishment to make it the most foul and heinous influence on Western society, ever. I feel comfortable telling you this here because it's buried in the middle of a wall of text that 99% of visitors will ignore on their way to hit the reply button (after only reading the OP) with their non-existent non-proof. Lurk moar, brush up your skillz (that zetetic thing might be good practice), but if you ever want to play in the big leagues, Landover will be here. Tryouts are always open.

>implying I've never read the Bible.
You know what, I'm not even going to list the logical fallacies here. It would take too long.
Also, religion is in no way an evil force. It held together empires, created culture and tradition, and forged modern life. Sure, there were side effects, but if you really think Osama bin Laden was working out of dedication to Islam then you are a naive fool.



For someone who so considers himself logically and morally superior, you sure make a lot of fallacies.

Oh, Islam is assuredly an evil force. Do I think Osama bin Laden worked out of dedication to his moon-demon? No.

But the teenage boys who blow themselves up in shopping malls, thinking they get a one-way ticket to paradise? Yes, indeed.

The mobs who drag a rape victim from her family's home and beat her to death to punish her for being raped? That's not politics, that's Islam.

The Muslim parents who murder their own daughters for trying to date someone of a different religion? Yep, definitely all about Islam.

Islam is certainly one of the most horrific influences on the world . . . ever.

It's true that the leaders frequently aren't tied too tightly to their ridiculous false gods and idols; but the common people are, and the leaders use that to their advantage.

Why else would a young man try to blow up his underwear and end up torching his manhood? For kicks?

When you said that the belief that 3/4 of America follows is the worst thing ever to happen to Western Civilization.

They'd be doing the same things for different reasons if Islam didn't exist. The middle east isn't the way it is because of religion, it's the way it is because of the Ottoman Empire's fall. It's going through the equivalent of the Dark Ages that were caused by the Roman Empire falling. The jihad against the West is like the Crusades; it's just the minority manipulating the majority into attacking people for personal gain. It's not hard to convince some poor, uneducated farmer kid to do something horrible, and there's a reason that most terrorists are mentally retarded. Religion is just the easiest way.

I said the Bible. They don't follow the Bible, they follow some fuzzy bunny cherry-picked bits that allow them the delusion they follow the Bible and God will protect them from the boogeyman if they just plunk their asses in pews every once in a while.

When you actually show them the true contents of the Bible, tell them the truth about what they profess to believe, that's when the cognitive dissonances surface (and the fun begins ).

Seriously, how many froth-and-spittle-flecked monitors does your flat earth site generate per month? Maybe a couple of shaken heads or raised eyebrows, but nothing compared to what you can get when you grab people by the religious short and curlies and start twisting. Stick around and enjoy the ride, but never, I mean never, go full retard.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT!

Fair enough. I misunderstood you and thought you were just being an arrogant atheist dick. Sorry.

And really, the best thing about the Flat Earth Society is that in addition to the cheap pleasure one gets out of presenting a working model of a flat Earth to people and watching them trying and failing to disprove it, you get to make the model. It's like Sim City.

Yes, the Catholic cult leaders also used a pagan religion to convince the masses to conquer in the name of their goddess, Mary.

You only prove my point; leaders of false religions use those false religions to manipulate others into killing, torturing, and dying for the leaders' gain.

Do you always continue to argue with people who agree with you on a point?

Well, there's the Bedford Level Experiment. Samuel Rowbotham proved that you can see past the 'horizon' with nothing but a telescope.

For goodness sake! God both explicitly says the Earth is flat and implies it over and over again. That's the end of our curiosity. This thread only exists because idiots keep demanding further reasoning and clarification because the word of God is not enough for them.

I don't care how clever you think your daft thought experiments are, they're all wrong because they contradict God.

One would say that people going around the world, Astronauts seeing the round Earth, photos of the round Earth, fact that GPS works and of course things like ships disappearing below the horizon would be plenty of reasons to discuss it.

I don't judge people based on who they are or what they claim they are. It would be only fair to base our opinions on people based on what they say. My posts are my introduction.
