Mental Illness is a bad thing.
Do you actually believe that I am "mentally ill"...or are you just saying that to attack and disparage me? Look man, I used to be in the same boat as you on this issue. Two years ago when I first started seeing this "flat earth" movement on YouTube, I thought it was out there too. But then I actually started to look into it...and I discovered that there is substantial evidence to question and disprove the "orthodox" heliocentric, Big Bang, globe model of the earth/universe.
Let me ask you this...are you a Christian? If so, you should know that the Bible supports the "flat earth" view. I have already cited many of the verses in this thread. The Bible makes very clear that the earth is "fixed" and "immovable". The earth is NOT spinning and flying through space. Furthermore, the Bible in the book of Genesis describes the earth as having a "firmament" (solid structure) over it which contains the atmosphere. Elsewhere in the Bible this firmament is described as a "vaulted dome" made of a material like "crystal". And just think about the atmosphere for a second. Under the conventional model, how could the earth's atmosphere not just "blow away" from the earth as the earth whizzes around the sun at thousands of miles an hour? How can the earth's atmosphere exist right next to the vacuum of "space" and not be sucked away by that vacuum? It can't. The atmosphere must exist in a closed system and have a container.
These are just a few small points. There are dozens of other major points/issues that disprove the orthodox model. But one has to actually research and look into the matter in order to grasp it, and see that there is a real "issue" with the conventional model.
Only someone with Mental Illness would open the door like that to an ass hole like me.
1. When you ask me am I a Christian - yes I am, but I am not Jewish, nor do I believe in the cult of Paul.
2. Judaism rips off earlier stories and texts that go back before Gilgamesh.
3. You have to be mentally ill to accept the Old Testament as literally true. The Old Testament presents God as a supposedly Omnipotent and Omniscient being who despite being all powerful is too dumb to know Adam is too stupid to fix the problem created by Satan in the Garden when he tells Eve the truth. This is the same God who throws a temper tantrum when his stupid monkey men disobey him. This is the same God who evidently can't be bothered to show up periodically and confirm his existence thereby getting mankind to do better.
4. Anyone who places God inside a man-sized box is mentally ill. What is the man-size box? That box is the crazy human limitations imposed on God by humans who want to make God in their image.
5. The incest, murder, and lust that is condone in the Old Testament is an illogical ploy to allow early Jews not to be bound by the actual rules of Judaism.
6. 3500 years ago, humans had a poor grasp of advanced physics. Stories were made up to explain things that could not otherwise be explained.
7. Every word used as a description about or around God is essentially an attempt to represent a 4 dimensional object in 2 dimensional space - an image of a hypercube. Every word used to describe Earth and it's place in the Universe is infected by the inability of people 3500 years ago to explain things like gravity, space-time, or even numbers beyond 5 digits
8. The Omnipotent, Omniscient God does not need to alter physics to end up with a habitable planet.
9. My dog has free will. When he exercises free will he acts like a dumb ass. The relationship of God to man is even further than from Man to dog. How is it that humans can understand that their dog is stupid, but God is supposed to be surprised and disappointed?
So yes you are either mentally ill, or a really pesky troll. If you aren't mentally ill, that can only mean your are very stupid.
