If you come to the East coast let me know I charge club prices for the scotch but the beer is free..well the first slab is free after we get thru that you will have to throw in for another slab...or we could just get a keg and save having to go out half cut to get supplies.

But seriuosly if you are over this way let me know it would be an honor to be on your company.

Make it a Sunday so we can do church.

https://in-vid.net/video/bible-proof...pXPTrOf7A.html

Now although tiresome this vid is representative of the flat earth mentality and I suggest watching it to the end.

It is easy to dismiss these folk as ratbags and fail to watch it till the end and grasp the extent of their delusion.

The link to the above mentioned suggest the 20% becomes clearer...I will try and find the percentage of flat Earth believers ( or if anyone knows please present the numbers)
The concept is more complex than the one we dismiss...it has to do with the creation of the waters above andxthe waters below and the literal interpretation of the resulting view of the flat Earth...scarey stuff to think the number of flat earthers probably parrallels the number of those who take the Bible literally for they seem to be the same folk...

Think about that and see how you sleep tonight.
And though I cant link utube readily ( the above was a fluke) take the time to find Bill Maher particularly his commentary on various folk in high office who are absolute rat bags.

Thank you most enjoyable.

I like the way the flat earth models are bowl like...that will head off the heathens claiming there couldnt be a big flood cause the water would run off the edge.

All jokes aside I consider the growth in the flat earth believers worrying as they offer bible based evidence and in the US bible Trumps science for many folk...It is the dawn of the next dark age. ..

Well at least the flat earthers will be happy to know that the solar system is flat, the milkyway galaxy is flat and possibly even our universe is flat as well.

From all I have researched so far I think they see ot this way.

There is a disk bounded by ice walls with in effect a dome over all this..the space inside is the "firmanent" which seperates the waters below from the waters above as set out in their science reference book.

I think the stars are in the substance of the dome.

But it is a little bit beyond me but its all there in their science book.
