I agree on the no globe theory, but need to do a dive into the articles you referenced for the God/satan parts. Interesting idea!

I have a LOT of problems with the flat earth belief. First would be this...IF it is flat and from space looks like a giant pizza. WHERE is a single photograph showing it. Where is a single picture from someone that climbed to the top of the edge of the earth SOMEWHERE in the past millennia and drew pictures or took pictures or something.

If I look through a powerful telescope at Mars am I seeing a GLOBE or another flat place in space that is basically 2 dimensional as it has to be SOME thickness. So how THICK is the "flat earth"? They drill miles to get to oil. Is it 20 miles thick? 100? 500? at some point it become an awful thick "flat earth" that would be more like a cylindrical shaped object. What is on the OTHER flat side? And if it is flat on the top and flat on bottom what shape if you look at it from a distance are the sides? They can't be flat because flat earth people do believe that the earth is "round" but flat. So that if I were to look at it form the moon I would see a flat earth just as the moon must be flat if I'm looking at it from earth.

Am I shaking up that way of thinking at all?

Then there are the distance problems. Where is the CENTER of the flat earth. Once we can pin point that we can tell how many miles it is to other locations on the flat earth. Like if the CENTER is Washington DC (as most polytick shuns think it is) then how many miles is it to Moscow? To Bejing? To Anartica? To South Africa? To Hawaii. And if it is flat then how many miles is it from Bejing to Hawaii? How come it doesn't work out that way? Is it because we really don't know where the compass point would be on the flat earth?

No issues at all with flat earth belief...just a few hundred. Reason, logic and common sense made MY view of Earth into a globe.
