@cypnk flat eathers (at least the ones I've interacted with) think the Earth is under a dome, so this doesn't happen in their model

but the orbits and such are of course still there because.... reasons??

@cypnk

You want to tell me you have really found a real person sustaining that the earth is flat?

@grainloom, come on! He was trolling you!

@Shamar @cypnk Nope, definitely not. I was in a "christians and atheists debate group" on facebook for a few months

there were some.... interesting people, to say the least

@cypnk @Shamar Many thought he was a troll at first, but if he was, he should be shooting for an Oscar instead.

@grainloom @cypnk

please, PLEASE!

Tell me that he was in the atheists group!

@cypnk @Shamar I think he was also generally against everything lgbt+

@grainloom @cypnk

He was pretty confused.

I mean, I was atheist and I am Christian now.

But magic is superstition, and is classified as a sin from Christians and as ignorance from atheists.
I agree with both definitions.

They agree on flat earth though: just plain #ignorance.

@Shamar @grainloom I've always been curious about the circumstances that would let someone to believe the Earth is flat. There are so many now, they all can't be trolls. I mean it's practically a lifestyle at this point

I also wonder if it's genuinely a belief or just contrarianism (is that a word?) against science and scientific thought

@cypnk @grainloom

Probably some people find trolling funny.

Actually, I have a little envy for the Russian guy that were paid to help Trump win US elections.

I guess they will always remember it as the most funny job of their life!
