Friend, this two 'pictures' are of half of a pie.

I do not know about you, but it is 1:50 PM here, no where close to bed time. What time is it where you are?

It goes dark at about 2pm where the Swiss live.

I do not know about you, but it is 1:50 PM here (just after lunch), no where close to bed time. What time is it where you are?

It is 18:54 GMT (Western Europe Time). I live in the United Kingdom.

...I'm sorry to tell you this, but the church and the state will never be together, it simply will not pass in the UN or the USA...

When was the last time the US did what the UN told them to?

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

You are right, Christianity is not a cult. However, the 'Landover Baptist Church' is a cult, your perceptions of the world are simply wrong, that's all there is to it.

Why would you consider True Christians who follow All of the Bible a cult and all the so called 'christians' who make it us as they go along not a cult? What is your definition?

2 Peter 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,

I believe parts of the bible are incorrect. Mostly the parts where it says you can kill children, gay and black people. No good Christian would follow those.

Go back to the middle ages 'friend', we live in civilized times.

So there are parts that are correct in your much vaunted opinion then?

Find the bit that says you can kill black people.

Killing disobedient children and gays is a well established Christian principle but I don't recall anything about killing black people for being black.

God defines what makes a good Christian, not you.

Ah, getting close to your bed time. Now I understand the 'joke'. Funny. I'll have to show that to me kids.

I do not recall anything about the killing either. Please post scripture that goes over this Rose. I appreciate it.

It's my life, I will do what I damn well please with it. Gosh, if you bunch of crackpots were in charge, it would be nothing different to Nazi Germany, where you order a 'final solution' on all atheists.

Well guess what, you're never going to be in power, many Christians and atheists are opposed to this silly little cult you have here.

Keep dreaming, that's all you nutjobs have.


Seperation of the church and state is very good indeed!

The 'good' Christians you talk about must think that the Bible is unreliable or they know better than God. Do you think that it's logical for them to follow a book that they don't trust and a God they think knows less than they do?

Can't you see that our stance is much more logical? It's all or nothing. Cherry picking Christians are fools.

Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

That's all well and good but now you're starting to show your true colours as to why you want us to commit heresy and agree with you that the Earth is round. You're just yet another God hater who wants it to not be true that he is going to go to Hell.

What's worse, you want to smear us as racists who want to murder all black people for being black without a shred of evidence.

Well you are going to go to Hell but don't think you're going to drag us with you into your damnation.

I have not read the Bible, nor do I intend to at this moment.

Two of the members that I have seen on this forum are black, I see in their Userboxes that they are 'godhating trash nigras' (paraphrasing of course).

Wow, you really hate anyone not just like you, don't you? It brings a tear to my eye to see all the anger, misguided and oblivious anger.

That doesn't mean we want to kill them.

Perhaps you should read the Bible and then you'll see why we love it for being the definitive truth on what it means to believe in God. You really ought to take a second look at these soft Christians you seem so fond of; they all know you are going to Hell, they're just too gutless to come right out and tell you.

Ask them if they think people who don't believe in God and Jesus as the Son of God go to Hell regardless of how many good works they do and see what they say. If they say you don't go to Hell they are deluded or lying.

What a hateful person you turned out to be.

That's all well and good but now you're starting to show your true colours as to why you want us to commit heresy and agree with you that the Earth is round.

Now that we have access to space, the easiest way to prove the Earth is spherical is to leave it and view it from a distance. Astronauts and space probes have done just that. Every picture of Earth ever taken shows only a circular shape, and the only geometric solid which looks like a circle from any direction is a sphere.

One of the oldest proofs of the Earth's shape, however, can be seen from the ground and occurs during every lunar eclipse. The geometry of a lunar eclipse has been known since ancient Greece. When a full Moon occurs in the plane of Earth's orbit, the Moon slowly moves through Earth's shadow. Every time that shadow is seen, its edge is round. Once again, the only solid that always projects a round shadow is a sphere.

- Paul Walorski, B.A., Part-time Physics/Astronomy Instructor



You can launch a rocket to a high altitude and take pictures of the earth (which various government agencies and private groups have already done thousands of times in the past), but that isn't the most practical way. Pictures and videos taken by orbiting satellites and space stations are certainly the most definitive proof that the earth is a sphere.

But if you're not convinced, read on...

You can also observe, with binoculars, ships slowly 'sinking' below the horizon as it sails farther and farther out to the ocean, then watch them come back. They certainly didn't fall off the edge of the earth! You can also sail or fly around the world.

The Greeks discovered that the earth is round by observing lunar eclipses (i.e. when the earth blocks the sun from the moon, casting its round shadow on the moon's surface).

Another method is simultaneously measuring the length of the shadows cast by identical poles perpendicular to a flat surface that is tangential to the earth's radius at various, distant locations. If indeed the earth is round, then the shadows should all vary in length from one distant location to another, which means that the angle at which the parallel rays of sunlight struck each pole varied from one location to another. (recall the alternate-angles theorem from Geometry class) If the earth is flat, then the lengths of all the shadows should be identical when measured simultaneously, since all rays of sunlight that strike the earth are parallel. However, they are not identical, but in fact, varies in such a way that the angles indicate a spherical surface. (This was one of the earliest methods to determine the radius of the earth)

Also, keep in mind the 24 hour time zones. When it is noon in Hawaii, it is approximately midnight in the Middle East and vice versa. How can it be noon and midnight simultaneously? It is certainly impossible with a flat earth and a sun millions of times more massive.

If I were a billionaire and physically fit, then proving to you the earth is round would be no problem. I can just take you with me on the space shuttle and we'll watch with our own eyes the earth from the orbiting International Space Station.

I have heard from astronauts that there is no experience comparable as watching the earth from above.

Well you are going to go to Hell but don't think you're going to drag us with you into your damnation.

That is not your call to make.
