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

So you hate God and your mother as well? Is nothing sacred to you?

Did I say that? No. But she's dead, in the ground, and she can't hear you. SO frankly, I don't care what you do. And frankly I find it incredibly offensive that you would suggest I hate my mother, or that real character.

Also, you constant referral to those who disagree with you as girls or women is rather disgustingly chauvinistic. I guess if I was black or mixed-race you'd call me a dirty n***er and lynch me while wearing your white sheets and hoods too...

Dewitt - posting one of the clearer (though, as Plepple shows, still open to interpretation) commandments from the Old Testament doesn't disprove his point at all.

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

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

I have tons of other interpretations and metaphors to choose from, but I'll try to pick those which sound the least ludicrous (even though that means I'm judging what God might actually mean).
What does "lie" mean? Sexual intercourse? What counts as sexual intercourse according to the bible concerning this particular quote? How can we know for certain that what God means by "abomination" is in fact something not that horrible (of a crime) at all? Can you prove that God doesn't intend for us to find out about these things in order to see who's really devout and who's just blindly following the first thing they can think of (which requires and relies on personal experience)?
How many homosexuals have you killed? I bet you have had the opportunity once or twice, is God's word not that important?

Back on track now.

"they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Nowhere here does it say how or by whom they should get killed.

* It can mean that God will eventually punish them himself.
* It could mean that you as devote followers must dish out punishment as quickly as possible.
* It can also mean that they'll die by natural causes, without God or any other human directly intervening.

I would have a good laugh if you'd come up to my mother and told her that.

"Oh, poop! Motherpoofter!", hehe. ;3



I assure you; I have not said a word at all since an hour ago or so - I'm sure you didn't hear anything though. Did you? >:3

Explain what you mean otherwise. :3

How about this one God Mocker.
Deuteronomy 13:6-10
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Why do you feel the need to interject race? Why do you hate nigras? Its not right to call them black. Why do you want to hang them? Do you feel the same way about Caucasians too, you must you are a racist. No wonder you mom died, she was ashamed of you!

Uhm, well, given that on these very forums your posters state that you believe black (or coloured, I don't care) people are of an inferior race.
I'm not racist at all. I live in London, one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and have many black, mixed race, Muslim and Jewish friends. You guys are the racists here, insulting me for being British.

And sir, if you continue to insult my mother's memory like that, with all due respect, I'll take a centurion's pilum and ram it down your throat.

I'm sorry but the more quotes you have the more I have to look and pick it trough, I cannot be bothered with that now. You can however look through the other interpretations I made.

I hope you're not telling me man-made laws are more important than God's laws? I certainly don't want you to kill people and wind up in jail, but is that fear more important than God's will? :3

God created all of us, some are well, not as good as others. I f you have a problem with that I suggest you contact God.

You are a racist calling some one black. Oh and one more thing dumb ass Mooslim and Joos are not a race. How did I insult you, is it my fault that you are a drunken Britt slut?

And sir, if you continue to insult my mother's memory like that, with all due respect, I'll take a centurion's pilum and ram it down your throat.

I do not take kindly to threats of that sort. You will be reported to the DoF and Interpoll.

...Really now? So, if I say I'm not racists and have lots of non-Caucasian friends, I'm just hiding my racism, but God forbid I do what you lot do and just come right out say they're all inferior races...

If he's my father, frankly, patricide sounds like a damn good option.

Fine. My name is Leon Ebert Gion.

How did I insult you, is it my fault that you are a drunken Britt slut?

...Well, you just insulted me RIGHT THERE, champ. XD

Oh, and none of my black friends have every objected to me referring to them as such. If they don't find it offensive, is it offensive? Uh... no.

Look woman I do not have all day, pick up a Bible and read it! We are commanded to follow secular law. We might not like it but we do it. When Sister Palin tosses out the Constitution and replaces it with the KJV1611, things will change.

Let us try to disregard the contradiction for now.

Oh, you mean those people who tell you not to kill homosexuals are watching over your soul? Don't you suppose God means different people? People who don't oppose God's words? ;3

No, calling someone black does not mean it's automatically a declaration of inferiority to another race.

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

...What even.


There are innumerable photographs of the earth taken from space which reveal it to be spherical. Assuming you are not about to join the Flat Earth Society in proclaiming these a genuine, I gather your complaint will be that looking at a photo doesn't qualify as "personal experience." Big deal. I've never personally experienced Disney World, either. Most of what we know about anything depends on taking somebody else's word for it. That said, there are a few home-demonstration-type indications--not proofs--that the earth is a ball. We'll start with ones you've already thought of:
(1) Departing boats gradually sink below the horizon, as do buildings on the shore from the viewpoint of the sailors. Admittedly this only proves the earth is round right where you are--the frisbee hypothesis.
(2) "The sphericity of the earth is proved by the evidence of ... lunar eclipses," Aristotle says. "For whereas in the monthly phases of the moon the segments are of all sorts--straight, gibbous [convex], crescent--in eclipses the dividing line is always rounded. Consequently, if the eclipse is due to the interposition of the earth, the rounded line results from its spherical shape" Of course a frisbee, properly angled, would make a round shadow too. But if the frisbee rotated while the eclipse was in progress, the curvature of its shadow would change. The earth's does not.



(3) The constellations shift relative to the horizon as you move north and south around the globe, something that could only happen if you were standing on a sphere. (You may have to draw a few diagrams to convince yourself of this.) Given sufficient world travel combined with careful observation on your part, the frisbee or a flat earth hypothesis becomes well-nigh insupportable. I suppose this doesn't qualify as a home experiment, but I never said science would be easy.
