Jewish Sages Think Earth Is Flat

Alright, how about the Gemara that explicitly states Earth is flat.

Ok, what about it?

Well, the Orthodox believe it to be just as holy as the Torah and they take every word of it as the word of God. It says that Earth is flat. So arent the ones who don't believe the Earth to be flat not being true followers of Orthodox Judiasm?

First of all I'm not sure you can make such sweeping statements about other people's faiths and beliefs.
Secondly, even if true, so what?  What does that prove?

No? I cant make statements like Jewish people believe in God? Would it be a sweeping statement to say they all believe in Him? Or is there a large portion of atheist jews... That seems a little contradicting.

You were a bit more specific than that, but since Judaism is an ethnicity as well as a religion, honestly you correctly say they all believe in God.  I mean, you can say it if you want, but I don't think it would be accurate.
But the main point is, so what?  What does that prove?

Whats the point? Theres a lot of anti Jewish sentiment going around on here when people say all flat earthers are dumb etc. etc. Since all orthodox Jews are techincally supposed to believe in a flat Earth, even if they dont.

I know several Orthodox Jews and I don't know any that believe that.  But even some do, so what?  What does it prove?

I just told you what it proves.

I must have missed it.  All I'm getting is that some religious people might think the earth is flat

Orthodox Jewish people are supposed to think earth is flat. Why are there so many anti semites here calling anyone who believes that earth is flat fucking idiots?

That is an insane leap of logic.  First of all I doubt more than a handful of people even considered the idea that Orthodox Jews are "supposed" to believe in a flat earth.  I certainly never did.
I think the reason people think people who believe in a flat earth are idiots is because all of their arguments are quickly destroyed.  Because to believe in a flat earth, for the most part, you have to be completely ignorant of geography, basic logic, critical thinking and any number of other things.  There are virtually no models for s flat earth that hold up.  There is no map that fits reality.
I think that's why people think they are stupid.  Not because they might possibly be Jewish but because the theory is stupid.

Sorry but you appear to be confused...yet again....thinking that people who believe in the flat earth to be total A holes, can in no way be seen as anti-Semitic. So many of the greatest scientists the world has seen were Jewish...Feynman for example, in my opinion, was one of the most inspiration figures of the 20th century.....he was Jewish...I'm sure if he was still alive he to would think you were a total jerk-off.

I bet he was an "inspiration figure". But I also bet that he wouldnt appreciate you putting bad words in his mouth. You cannoy deny that the Gemara states that earth is flat. Therefore all who follow the Talmud to the letter which is Orthodox Jews, should believe that earth is flat. Even if they do not, it is what they should be doing.

Oh come on.  He's clearly trolling.

In fact this shit reminds me of jroa.  Talking of jroa, has anyone seen him?

Please point out what makes my statment so obviously a joke.

Some Orthodox Jews have become atheists in light of realizing their torah actually speaks of a flat dome covered earth.

The Talmud clearly believed the earth to be flat, with a hard-shell, semi-hemispherical top.

So people 2500 years ago thought something .......And....what does that prove.....nothing!

Wrong, it proves you're an idiot.

I always suspected that Loneranger was an idiot but the fact that "people 2500 years ago thought something" really clinches it for me. Nice leap hoppy!

You didnt read the thread did you boots? Some Jewish people still contend that the earth is flat to this day!

Im still missing the point.  What does it prove if some people, Jewish or otherwise, believe the world is flat?

So? I've noted that certain people who post on this forum seem to think the same,
though to do so they have to ignore that massive amount of evidence that the earth cannot be flat.

These people have no coherent flat earth model that can explain numerous things we see around us almost every day.
The flat earth model they push even gets east-west distances in this country double what they are in real life.

Still there's a hope that some will learn better when they grow up.

You don't say.......fancy that.

And other Jewish people launched satellites, back as far as 1988, which which is quite incompatible with your flat earth ideas.
Take a look at Jewish Virtual Library, Science & Technology: Israel Launches First Satellite (September 1988).

The point is that they are SUPPOSED to think that earth is flat. Not just that they coincedentally think so as well as being Jewish. The proof is in their sciptures! So why are there so many people who still contend that thinking earth is flat is the most bozo idiotic retarded trolltastic idea out there? You are offending the Jewish religion.

I know lots of Jewish people.  Every year I am invited, and generally attend the lighting ceremony held by the local Hassetic community.  I have never met a single Jewish person that believes the earth is flat.  I doubt they are terribly interested in your opinion of what they are "supposed" to believe.
Pointing out simple facts, like the earth is round, is in no way offensive to their religion.  However I would venture a guess that someone outside their religion telling them what they are supposed to believe would be.  Saying that believing the earth is flat is stupid and ignores the facts is in no way anti Semitic.
Scriptures or your interpretation of them, is not scientific evidence of said flat earth.

Lolol how do you know I am outside their religion! Youre nothing more than a bigot!

If I were to say I think murder is OK and God does not exist would you consider me Jewish!?

Fair enough.  I took it from your context you were.  How does that make me a bigot?

In what way?  Why do have such a hard time answering simple direct questions about your own statements?
