Rise in flat earthism
I've seen a number of people who claim to believe earth is flat on religious videos across youtube. This trend seems to be increasing, and others have noted too. Anyone know why?

I think it fluctuates over time, increasing/decreasing for ? reasons, but no particular reason in itself.

Just a guess, but as YouTube becomes more available and more popular, there'll probably be more of every kind of video.thatkidakayoungguy wrote:I've seen a number of people who claim to believe earth is flat on religious videos across youtube.

NO - it's because Olive has a figure that is the equivalent of a human ironing board - which has more curves than she does.TheKid: Why's that? Bc they're so fickle?
She's the mother icon of the Flat Earthers!

I think 99.999563% of flat-earthers are just doing it to be ironic, counter-culture, and just like to argue to be argumentative. Us normal people get so bent out of shape, and they're probably filled with mirth at our befuddlement over a denial of such a fact.

Only when the blood runs and the shackles restrain, will the sheep then awake. When all is lost.

Re: Rise in flat earthism
Anyone else see similarities between Flat Earthers, and Young Earthers?

Flat earthers now claim to have members all around the globe.thatkidakayoungguy wrote:I've seen a number of people who claim to believe earth is flat on religious videos across youtube. This trend seems to be increasing, and others have noted too. Anyone know why?
Not sure where I read that (recently) but I got a good chuckle out of it and figured I'd share.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Actually yes, especially since I was one and I'm surrounded by them.RickD wrote:Anyone else see similarities between Flat Earthers, and Young Earthers?
BUT, young earthers have more reasoning and logic behind them, not to mention more support of Scripture than the flat earth idea (which probably has maybe 7 verses to support it, and most of that is just figure of speech).

We're laughing at our brothers and sisters instead of trying to teach them rightly. I don't think all are Christians though.Byblos wrote:All of them?

Have you ever tried to "teach" a person who is a serious flat Earther?thatkidakayoungguy wrote:We're laughing at our brothers and sisters instead of trying to teach them rightly.

There's no teaching some of them.
