Offtopic, I deeply respect your faith
One day at dinner with my friends and gf I decided to tell them I was no longer following the round earth belief system.
I have heard people tell stories about when they decided to leave the family faith. But when I announced my denial of round earth belief literally everyone scoffed liked they thought I was joking, and then erupted when they realized I was not. My best friend got in my face: "How can you be so stupid? Seriously! This is how we see the world! Science is central to everything! What are you living for if you cant believe in science?!?" The dinner party quickly dissipated. My gf was the last to leave. She handed me back the ring I had given her just a week before and said something about not being able to share her life with someone who didn't acknowledged the truth... Its been a long time scince I talked to any of them. Some of them write science papers now, others have science degrees, all of them still meet weekly at the old favorite spots and discuss the latest "discoveries". I have moved on, as I knew I had to let them go.
So all that is to say: [u][i][b]I understand and respect your faith offtopic. [/b][/i][/u][u]I know letting go of the promises associated with what you believe is hard. [/u]When you first reject science you feel sort of lost: like how will all the predictions of a perfect tomorrow come true? How will lifespans increase, or space travel ever make it to the heavens? How will the earth be restored to perfection? To the pristine environmental, pre industrial conditions? And most of all, how can u tell the family? I still remember my dad reading me bed time stories out of an old leather bound book with one of those silk ribbons used to mark your place. It was an over-sized Britannica. He would hold my hand as I fell asleep and tell me to "[b]imagine the stars, millions of years old and that never sleep, all up in heaven watching over you[/b]." I always fell asleep happy.

1 ReplyI hate to be the one to tell you this, but your gf didn't leave you because of the flat earth thing.

Didn't you make a topic where if you had 100 likes you would leave offtopic for good? Didn't you get like 150 likes within a day or so? [spoiler]Gtfo.[/spoiler]

Breaking news: The CRD (club of retarded dumbasses) discover that the earth is actually a triangle!

5 RepliesAlright, I'll believe that the world is flat, but under one condition. Give me at least [i]one[/i] piece of viable evidence supporting that claim.

2 RepliesYou really do just come here to preach, dont you. Such a spiritual soul, trolling the internet like the rest of us not spiritual souls. By your actions you are saying you are merely the same as every other opinionated 14 year old on here. But keep on preaching your stuff. Who knows someday someone may join you. Im guessing not from this forum but one day......

6 RepliesThe world isnt flat at all you christian -blam!- science has already proven you -blam!-ing retards wrong

I'm pretty sure that's just made up as a result of people not giving you enough attention. I mean, shitposters are in a sense, attention whores. Apology accepted.

The earth is round

Bullshit

4 Replies[quote][quote]Hi everybody. As I'm sure everybody has been aware, recently Krishna (Spelling?) Prophet has been making some rather in depth posts about why the Earth must be flat. Among Prophet's claims was the idea of the Universal Accelerator, a counterproposal to gravity that conveniently explains why the sun and the moon and the second sun and the imaginary "shadow object" don't fall to the Earth. The Universal Accelerator basically claims that the Earth and all its celestial bodies are all moving upwards at the same rate, which explains why things fall. However, this simply can't be true. Gravity, on Earth, makes objects fall at an easily quantifiable rate, 9.8 m/sec/sec. This means that, every second, the object falls 9.8 m/sec faster than the second before. This INHERENTLY disproves the Universal Accelerator (we'll abbreviate it to UA from now on), and here's why. In a flat-Earth world, we would drop two balls off of a very large cliff. One ball, we'd drop 4 seconds after the second ball. Since the Earth is moving upwards while the balls are not, then it would appear that the balls are both falling to the ground. At the same rate. Since all of the Earth is moving upwards at the same rate it is only logical that the two balls would "fall" at the same rate. However, that isn't how it actually happens. Again, given the proper materials, you can go out and observe this yourself. In the real world (where the Earth is round), you go out to a very large cliff, and drop two balls, the second ball falling 4 seconds after the other. 5 seconds after the first ball started falling they will have very different speeds. The fist ball to drop will have been moving at a speed of 39.4 m/sec. The second ball will have been moving at a speed of 9.8 m/sec. This directly proves the UA wrong, because if you're not pushing any of the balls downwards, in the flat-Earth world, they should be falling at the same rate. However, they aren't. They're falling at very different rates, which means that the Universal Accelerator, and by extension the flat-Earth theory, are impossible.[/quote][/quote]

Seems legit.

If you've ever been in a classroom you should have noticed there is just one highly accepted hypothesis as to how our solar system functions with a round Earth. Now, when I've actually researched the flat-Earth theory on my own I've found there are an excessive number of hypotheses on how it would function. These range from the insane (the world is contained within a biodome) to the decently thought out but still inherently flawed (disc flying "upward" through space at a constant acceleration of 9.8m/sec^2). Your entire group can't even decide how a flat Earth would work.

You call using science "faith", interesting. Faith is what you use when you have no evidence, evidence is what you use when have no faith.

How does a star with so much more mass that Earth possibly rotate around your version of "Earth"?

The earth is rectangular

1 ReplyYour story falls flat just like your "Earth".

I felt sorry for you. Then I got to the part where you denied the round earth.

If this story is true you deserve every bit of it

Edited by Iron Giant: 4/2/2016 8:29:49 PM1st off a plane can travel around the earth without falling off as well as for your ice sheet on the outside again a plane could fly over that easily 2nd off tell me why there is images of earth being round from space but no images of a flat earth from space.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to mute you. The bait isn't even good anymore. No, I'm not going to try and tell you why you are wrong. Fifty other people told you why you are wrong, and you ignored their comments. At this point I don't even have enough respect for you to argue. You don't deserve my respect, nor do you probably want it. So, the only way to do this is...
