Flat Earthers, what is your view on God?
Posted on 8/21/21 at 8:57 am

Context: I like your spirit of questioning things. I truly do. Even the very basic laws that have been proven to be universal (here/everywhere and today/throughout time type of stuff).
I dig epistemology! I really do.
However, I am amazed at some Flat Earthers way of thinking, those in particular who are drenched in conspiracy paranoia and simple over-looking, ignoring, filtering (fill in your own verb) of basic knowledge.
So, I ask the question. What is your view on God?
Curious how an Flat Earther's way of thinking does or does not apply to a simply complex subject like "God".
Learn me, please.

Can't you just google this stuff?

Most flat earthers that I've watched videos on think that the earth being flat is proof of a creator in their minds.

A flat earther I know says the Bible says the earth is flat.

I'm not a flat earther. I don't think the Bible declares any shape of Earth.

If the Earth is a big ball, and us Americans are standing on top of the ball, and the Aussies or whoever are on the other side of the ball, all the blood would be rushing to their upside down arse’s head. #flatasfrick

Typically they are very religious. They take vague Bible/Koran verses mentioning the ends/corners of the earth as proof of flat earth. They also believe that the round earth "conspiracy" is to keep us away from God, free energy, and enlightenment. They're morons.

Flat Earther's are basically a Religious Cult.

I know this board has a lot of people who believe a lot of crazy shite, but I doubt there are any flat earthers.
That's the stupidest fricking thing I ever heard.

Flat-earthers have a more solid support for Biblical texts than spherical earth believers.
The flatness of the earth's surface is required by verses like Daniel 4:10-11. In Daniel, the king “saw a tree of great height at the center of the earth...reaching with its top to the sky and visible to the earth's farthest bounds.” If the earth were flat, a sufficiently tall tree would be visible to “the earth's farthest bounds,” but this is impossible on a spherical earth.
When describing the temptation of Jesus by Satan, Matthew 4:8 says, “Once again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world [cosmos] in their glory.” This would only be possible if the earth is flat.
The same is true of Revelation 1:7: “Behold, he is coming with the clouds! Every eye shall see him...” How will everyone be able to see an Omnipotent God come from clouds if the earth is spherical? It’s not possible.
So, do you believe the Bible or do you believe the earth is spherical?

Do I believe a group of books written centuries ago, not by the people who allegedly experienced this, but by theirs followers generations later, written in ancient languages that have been translated several times under the control of churches and kings with an agenda?
Or do I believe what I see when I look out the window of a plane?

If the earth is flat, how does the temperature change with latitude ? Why would ice be on the periphery of a flat land that is heated evenly with the center ? How does one explain the existence of a jet stream ? Or the coroilis force ?

I agree with you, but those are just some of their arguments.

It does not say that. It states the earth is a circle and has pillars and foundations.

We got Santa and his crew up at the North Pole.
Earth is round. Santa is god.
