Delusional folks are nigh unto impossible to convince. For example: after two
years of world-wide experience with Covid 19, and reliable data, America's top
medical expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, still insists that masking, distancing, and
lock-downs work; and the un-vaccinated are a danger to us all.

* My local pharmacy used to have a sign reading vaccines are safe and
effective but recently revised it to read the vaccines will prevent you from
getting very sick. In other words: they're saying it's possible you'll still get sick
after vaccination, just not as sick as you'd get without them.

I'll be curious to see their next revision.

You mean, kinda-just-like how BE folks dismiss anything promoting the FE model?
Perhaps some do. Perhaps some of us assess the assertions, see the flaws without looking too hard, and then dismiss.

Maybe he just wants to share the infomation without getting too involved in a situation where he ends up beating his head against the wall...
Which is not discussion.

There are folks in this world who have nothing in their lives that makes them
feel special; nothing unique.

I was a young paratrooper in the 101st Airborne division during the Cuban
missile crisis. My unit was fully armed and equipped ready to be in the air
within one hour had President Kennedy given us the green light. I feel very
special for having been a part of that moment in history because not
everyone has something like that going for themselves.

I watched a young man on YouTube who joined the Hari Krishnas because it
makes him feel like he matters: like he counts for something.

I also watched a YouTube about a lady whose sole companion in life is a
chicken. She had no one else to talk to; no one else to make her feel like
she matters. They did everything together: sleeping, swimming, traveling,
even trips to the beauty parlor. That woman's chicken made life feel like
worth the living.

I watched another about porn stars. Quite a few of the girls weren't in it for
the money. No; the money was secondary. They mostly wanted their beauty
to be admired by as many people as possible before it was gone.

Well; if joining the Krishnas, keeping a chicken for companionship, starring
in porn, and/or defending flat-earth science makes people feel better about
themselves; then what the hey.

It needs to be revised to say that the "vaccines" will kill or maim you.

I agree that some discussion would be good/better; however, next to that, people reading [some of] what he posts and [actually] looking into it with serious intentions (to learn about it) is [also] a good thing...

Probably the flatters with the weakest legs to stand on are the conspiracy
theorists alleging that the USA, Russia, China, SpaceX, Google Earth, and
the European Space Agency, plus all the imaging teams, all the astronauts,
all the cartographers, and all the folks involved in designing satellite
communications and the GPS system, have colluded to fool the world into
believing the Earth is a sphere.

Here is the 'mastermind' of your 'collusion':

Revelation 12:

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

It is unfortunate that you do not believe that Satan is actually capable of doing such - or, that he has actually done it.

Is the 'covid' subterfuge not a world-wide deception? (Anyone who does not know this is still being deceived by it.)

And, this is only one-of-many forms of deception that Satan has accomplished world-wide. There are many others.

Not everyone involved has to be "in on it" - many organizations maintain their operations on a "need to know" basis. Most of the people "at the bottom" are just/simply "doing their job" and have no knowledge of their participation in the deception.

The Flat Earth theory was mostly invented and promoted by evolutionists for the purpose of slandering Christians.
  • "The flat earth remained clearly in the realm of fiction until after Darwin published his Origin of Species in 1859. Two of Darwin’s followers then elevated it to a historical claim in books defending Darwinism and attacking Christianity: John Draper’s The History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science (1874), and Andrew Dickson White’s A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom (1896).
    So defenders of Darwinism who ridicule their critics for being like believers in a flat earth are being misled by a myth that Darwinists themselves helped to create."[1]

"Christianity did not invent or promote the myth of the flat Earth." Who invented the flat Earth? (ChristianAnswers.net)

'The reason for promoting both the specific lie about the sphericity of the earth and the general lie that religion and science are in natural and eternal conflict in Western society, is to defend Darwinism. The answer is really only slightly more complicated than that bald statement. The flat-earth lie was ammunition against the creationists. The argument was simple and powerful, if not elegant: "Look how stupid these Christians are. They are always getting in the way of science and progress. These people who deny evolution today are exactly the same sort of people as those idiots who for at least a thousand years denied that the earth was round. How stupid can you get?"'

The Myth of the Flat Earth, by Jeffrey Burton Russell.
The aeronaut can see for himself that Earth is a Plane. The appearance presented to him, even at the highest elevation he has ever attained, is that of a concave surface—this being exactly what is to be expected of a surface that is truly level, since it is the nature of level surfaces to appear to rise to a level with the eye of the observer. This is ocular demonstration and proof that Earth is not a globe.

Whenever experiments have been tried on the surface of standing water, this surface has always been found to be level. If the Earth were a globe, the surface of all standing water would be convex. This is an experimental proof that Earth is not a globe,

Bodies of water on the earth, like seas and lakes are not standing still. They are constantly in motion. Water curves.
The Earth is not like a bucket containing motionless water, Earth has been designed as a fully functioning system.
Most water never stops moving;

Water curves.

Surveyors’ operations in the construction of railroads, tunnels, or canals are conducted without the slightest “allowance” being made for “curvature,” although it is taught that this so-called allowance is absolutely necessary! This is a cutting proof that Earth is not a globe.

I served in the 101st Airborne Division too in the early 80's. Traditionally, an elite warrior class for sure.

There are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet—notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth’s “convexity.” It is, therefore, a reasonable proof that Earth is not a globe.
