    I find them baffling, what’s their deal?

    Is it like a religion for them or is there an actual religion?

      No, one of their core arguments is that language in the bible heavily implies that the earth is flat. Nevermind that the bible is a collection of stories from uneducated iron-age fanatics…

        There’s nothing in the Bible that implies the earth is flat… but most people who use the Bible to excuse their behavior don’t actually read it, so it’s not wild to hear they think the Bible is the basis for their beliefs.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmament

          Isaiah 11:12 - And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

          Ezekiel 7:2 - Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

          There is actually plenty of language in the bible that implies a flat earth. I found these examples with 5 minutes of searching.

      Flat earth= god is beyond a doubt real.

      Round earth= god may be real? We are not sure, probably not.

      It’s just a rehashed deep fried form of proselytizing as the people who fall for that shit, will surely fall for other shit, and you can even milk some money of out them like that guy who used them to build his own rocket.

        God’s kinda trash for:

        1. Being unclear about this
        2. Letting us infer whatever bullsh based on His nothing input
        3. Childhood cancer
