Here is a quote from "Earth: Not A Globe"

Evidently, in order to understand FE theory, you have to throw out a lot of what you think you know, including something as seemingly arbitrary as perspective:

Before explaining the influence of perspective in causing-the hull of a ship to disappear first when outward bound, it is necessary to remove an error in its application, which artists and teachers have generally committed, and which if persisted in will not only prevent their giving, as it has hitherto done, absolutely correct representations of natural things, but also deprive them of the power to understand the cause of the lower part of any receding object disappearing to the eye before any higher portion--even though the surface on which it moves is admittedly and provably horizontal.

Flat-earthists: changing the rules of science, mathematics... and art.

It is an important point, many people blindly accept ideas presented in different mediums because they dont know any better. If my first experience with the sky were from a painting, it would likely skew my opinion of it. Or if people are first exposed to a round earth and common phrases such as, "thats as dumb as a flat earth" they will likely embrace the idea before they consider any alternatives.

Just like you FE'ers blindly accept the book and its teachings?

Whoa, just like Christians...

Are you insinuating that Christianity is false?!?!

lmao.

Not just christians mate.

To accept a flat earth is to throw out science, mathematics, art, engineering priciples.

And you have to bring in paranoia, fanatisism, and imagination, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Keep the dream guys, keep the dream.

Yes, because of course Christians have no individual thoughts and can be generalised en masse as a group of people who slavishly take every teaching in the Bible literally and apply it to life in all their walks of life.

Not if they actually have taken classes which teach them the actual catechism of the church which sates that most of the old testament is stories that may not even be true, but are made to teach a lesson, and that the gospels were made 40 years or more after Jesus' death and therefore may have exagerated portions in them. Most people are just idiots, you have to accept that in any globalorganization, you just can't teach everybody the correct way... which brings me back to this sight...
