"I just love it when people so boldly and proudly make statements like this that can just as easily be looked at from a viewpoint contrary to their viewpoint..."
"Okay -- so then - why are you doing it?"
"Okay -- so then - good for those who reject the lies of NASA in order to establish what is true!"
I am not advocating the thread title -- I personally believe there is something to what the Bible calls 'dragons' / 'leviathan' / 'behemoth'. However, I am not too proud to consider the possibility that I do not "have it all figured out"...
It is not becoming for a Christian to 'slam' his brother - who is in search of the truth.
It is becoming for a Christian to be patient with his brother - who he believes to be in error.
posthuman -- if you feel that you are so full of all of the right knowledge and wisdom - then, fine; however, you just may one day discover that it was you who was in error. And, it will probably make you feel "really funny" on Judgment Day - especially after having judged others so harshly...
If you believe another to be in error -- then, don't think of that person as 'stupid'; rather - show them the truth in love with patience. However, at the same time --- you must be willing to reconsider what you believe so that you do not err in "correcting" that person who you believe to be in error.
And -- do not assume that others never reconsider what they believe.
"I do it all the time ---------- because, I am in search of the truth..."

show me where i ever called anyone "stupid" Gary?
what i've done is show that some ideas are ridiculous -- using established facts, not just by making unsubstantiated statements or posting insane ramblings from youtube.
and i've defended the honor of the name of Christ.
do you disagree that as a person who puts themselves forward as representing the Lord, we should not associate ourselves with things that are highly questionable and much less with blatant deceptions and lies?
why don't you come to my defense when these people reject my point of view, which i can justify, but you come to their defense even when you admit their point of view is not justifiable and in fact is contradicted in your view by scripture?
if you actually "reconsider" what you believe, and if you can actually justify your strange beliefs, then why in 30+ pages of the flat earth thread did you never once address a single objection and refutation of the idea, and never once provide a single legitimate reason to believe it?
a Christian rejects lies and rebukes foolish behavior.
it's antichrist to pretend that what a believer should do is entertain every spurious wind of conspiracy as though it is legitimate, or that we should act as though there is no such thing as "truth" and readily accept all "opinions" as though they may be equally valid. that kind of thinking makes everyone's perception their own god.
we are our brother's keepers, and if we let them go on playing the fool - and moreso, teaching foolishness without objecting, what kind of 'brother' are we?
it's not as though i have not been patient with this.
