I hypothesise that the anger you experienced is cognitive dissonance. You have seen evidence that a closely treasured theory (ball-Earth) is untrue, and this causes you some psychological discomfort. Most people either walk away and forget it, or become angry with the one who draws attention to it. Have you checked the scriptures for what shape God says the Earth is? Because, out of everyone, surely God would know?
Isn't it funny how the world likes to redefine terms for its own purposes? Murder they call "abortion" when they want to allow it, but sharing of software they call "piracy", when they want to prohibit it. I don't think they would have got very far if they called "piracy" what is really is - sharing - as everyone knows that sharing is a good thing, and isn't swashbuckling anyone.
I confess that each time you state it, it seems a little more true, only this is impossible as you can't get truer than true.

Look, I don’t care, you can believe what you want to, and I will believe what I want to. But I said what got under my skin was that user’s post, nothing about him talking about the earth being flat. “We are your real friends”, give me a break, if you can’t hear how he twisted the situation like a cult leader, then fine. Just let people believe what they want to, and stop judging.
I brought up the piracy as a interesting point, would you pay $180 dollars for a out of print show, or even $300? Not everyone is made of money.
Anyway, this thread has been demeaning everyone and unfriendly. All anyone had to say, wether it be people who say the earth is round or flat, is this: “You know what, it seems my opinion is not being accepted and that’s fine. I hope you have a Good life, God bless”. All I see is Fighting, fighting, fighting, VERY POINTLESS fighting.
I’m done and I already know everyone hates me and I won’t get along with anyone in this thread, but I wish next time to see y’all in a different thread and to have peaceful conversations, cause those clearly don’t exist in this thread.
I don't hate you, I think it's entertaining to watch you talk about peace and fighting, when your the center of its attention
You said that to put me down, and that’s hateful.
Look, people can believe whatever they want to, I don’t care. But I will be honest when I feel like I have to. And honestly, I don’t see us ever getting along, as Christians or as people, hope you understand where I am coming from.
But have a God blessed day and go back to the topic of this thread.
Stating the truth isn't hateful. To believe so is a lie of the devil.
Don't think people here hate you, either. As I said before, you just feel vulnerable because someone has highlighted a treasured belief you have grown up with is unbiblical and a lie. I was a bit bewildered when I first was told that the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks were a false flag operation. I thought I had misjudged the one who told me, and that he was crazy. But the more I researched, the more I realised he was right. Until that point, I had believed the lie that it had been carried out by Muslim extremists who hated freedom (lol!) even though when I saw the collapses on television, the first thing I said was "that's a controlled demolition".
So just because we highlight truth doesn't mean you're hated - we are well used to people too indoctrinated to be able to consider the shape of the Earth.

The 9/11 attacks were real, everyone who doubts it are conspiracy theorists. You don’t care for those who died, that was cold.
And if you want “to change my mind” or “prove me wrong”, FORGET IT. Like I said, just let me live in peace.
If you believe the Earth is a globe, you do not believe this because of the bible, and you do not believe this because of the evidence. I am not talking you down.
You decided to post on this thread, and continue to post on it. If you want to be left in peace on this subject, don't keep posting in the thread.
This is known as a straw man logical fallacy. Setting up an argument that I have not made, and then debating that instead of what I actually said.
If you want to be left in peace, leave me in peace and stop posting falsehoods in the thread.

It’s just like, what shape you believe the earth to be or what political party you vote for, HAS NOTHING to do with a person’s salvation/journey in growing in God.
This much I have finally realized. Yes you can argue but remember this, NOT ALL CHRISTIANS HAVE THE SAME OPINION, and I don’t feel like that they need to, cause it comes from the fact that all Humans are different. For example, I actually care about the Christian outlook in Eastern countries versus Africa, probably because I’m into anime, but I just find Japan and most eastern countries more fascinating than Africa, and that’s my honest opinion.
People are entitled to have opinions, opinions are mostly harmless. Like if it a Christian saying they can live a homosexual lifestyle then I have to step in say they are wrong. But if they want to vote for a political group or believe what shape the earth is, then so be it, that is between them and god, I cannot change their stance, ONLY GOD CAN, and that’s if the lord believes that they need the change.
But we shouldn’t be letting “What shape is the earth” to divide Christians even further. You believe what you want to, and I will believe what I want to. Believing what shape the earth is does not factor into any element of a Christian being saved, that is now how I personally feel after seeing all the wasted energy put into arguing on it.
Also, it’s okay for Christians to not agree on worldly stuff, like the earth shape, cause despite our differences, WE ARE UNTIED AS CHRISTIANS, and that’s all that truly matters.
I truly believe fighting over “What shape is the earth” is a truly pointless and hateful discussion, NOTHING TO BE GAINED but hate and sadness.
Besides I just realized, this thread is about “Global Warming” and not “Shape of the earth” so LOL to all who brought up the earth shape stuff XD

belongs in conspiracy thread. scientists say a lot of things but it depends what evidence and scientific community they align with. You get crank scientists who just want to prove their own hypotheses and ignore all evidence to the contrary.
for a overview of warming or cooling you would need at least 50 years of data and reliable, replicable observation, over time. Not just oh ONE snow storm wow I dont believe it the earth cant be heating up look at that snow storm! Heres a picture, see, its a hoax.
so dumb!

1930s Was By Far The Hottest Decade In The US
Posted on January 15, 2013 by stevengoddard
Untampered NOAA thermometer data shows that the past decade tied for the second hottest with the 1950s, and was much cooler than the 1930s. The pattern of warming is nearly identical to the first half of the last century.

I don't want you to take our disagreement with your view personally. It isn't meant as a personal attack.
It sort of does, because as you grow to know God more, you learn that He would know the shape of the Earth He created.
But some political groups support homosexuality, and some cosmological theories (heliocentrism) likewise give scientific foundation to this lifestyle.
It's similar to the evolution debate. It's not strictly a salvation issue, but it is logically consistent to believe in a Flat Earth. For example, if evolution is true, and this is how God meant it to be, why did Jesus have to die? If heliocentrism is true and God is all-knowing (and He is), why didn't God mention it in the bible?
The shape of the Earth is an issue about biblical truth, in my opinion.
Certainly there is no need to hate. And why would debating the shape of the Earth make one sad, unless one knows that the shape one supports is lacking proof?
If the Earth is flat, there is no global warming, as there is no globe. The issue is foundational to the global-warming hoax.

You refute everything I said and don’t understand, I actually used google, and found this:
https://www.gotquestions.org/flat-earth-Bible.html
Please read my link, hopefully it should open your eyes.
But anyway, you missed the part where I said Christians have different opinions, cause we do, IT IS TRUE. Also, I told my mom, who is a Christian and has taught me many Christian values, your views on Flat Earth and 9/11, she thinks you are insane and if you were in front of her, she probably would have punched you for the 9/11 stuff. We lived in New Jersey when 9/11 happened, she thinks you are cold hearted, as do I.
But I realized you will not stop responding to anything I post so HAVE AT IT, I like being annoying, I can keep this up till we both die, yay :3

The linked article is wrong. It states "The truth is, the Bible does not comment on the shape of Planet Earth." However, Isaiah 40:22 (briefly referenced) clearly states:
"It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"
The last I checked, a circle is a shape, and a circle is flat. Also, nowhere does the bible claim that Earth is just a planet.
I'm not saying Christians don't have different opinions. But some opinions are wrong.
Remember, anger is a symptom of cognitive dissonance which occurs when treasured beliefs are challenged with truth.
I'm not sure what you living in New Jersey when 9/11 happened has to do with what you or your mom think of the temperature of my heart.
Proverbs 26:4-5
"Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit."

Your bible verses are wordy, using King James? It’s not the best bible. My mom’s friend who studies bibles said this.
Anyway looks like you still don’t get what I am saying so let’s keep doing this, I have all day, and forever, it’s going to be fun, you and I doing this till we die, wonder which of us will die first? Lol
But anyway, how is your day going? I’m doing good, have work later, but I have Sunday off, so I will go to Church, get my car washed, and then head home. Hoping to watch Princess Mononoke with my Mom. I don’t have any plans for Halloween, but that’s because we don’t get any trick-or-treaters.
Hope to hear from you soon! ^_^

I think the KJV is one of the more reliable versions of the bible, not corrupted like the NIV (especially the latest NIV). This topic probably needs another thread, but I doubt even many of the corrupt versions will state this verse any differently to the KJV. Here is the same verse from a (much!) less reliable version - the newest NIV, and it doesn't change much.
"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in."
Lol. I'm glad you're enjoying it now. And remember, just because people disagree, doesn't mean they hate you.
I'm glad you're doing well - I had a good day also, thanks! I'm debating some guy in another thread about the (non) existence of viruses, but that one is a bit harder because he posts articles from science journals which were deliberately written in a way so as to make their meaning obscure. I much prefer debates like this one about interesting topics, rather than trying to have to read where the deceit is in some poorly written article.
I appreciate that we have deviated from the topic of this thread somewhat, so just to get it back on track, let me reiterate Truth77's words "Global Warming is a man made hoax, a political leftist agenda in the Eco-socialism movement."
