At this point I think it is clear that Bumphrey and Neil are either mentally defective, consumed with some kind of diabolical pride, or both.

Please do not accuse anyone in such a manner. It is not conducive to any sort of discussion, and it also tends to work against the user of such language.

Oh, please Manuel. You're going to sermonize to the flat earthers on what constitutes good behavior after calling us stupid or crazy on a regular basis? Give me a break.

I did not sermonize, nor have I participated in these insults.

I don't care for insults from any side of this discussion. I happened to notice this particular one, for its use of the word "diabolical", a word which here means "of, relating to, or characteristic of the devil".

No one here should be branded as having a characteristic of the devil. It is a poor choice of words, and poor judgement to argue in such a manner.

What good does it do to insult others? Does it prove your point? Will it convince those reading this thread or visiting this site that your side of the discussion is correct and the other is not?

I am disinclined to listen to, or believe, those who act in such a manner.

awwww did I hurt your fweeelings? Would you like a hankie? here you go little girl.

By the way, why are you so important that we have to convince you, your highness?

If your argument cannot stand without insult or without ad hominem, then your argument has failed. If you cannot control yourself or your passions, and if cannot act as a Traditional Catholic adult, them you should remain silent until you can speak to others as such.

Maybe you could use this image as a photo of how the "flat" earth was formed:

Quote
Scripture has most certainly defined the shape of the earth

No, the Church has not defined the shape of the earth.
You're hallucinating, again.

Quote
and the Church condemned heliocentrism based on scripture. Obviously, you don't read much scripture, because its references and descriptions of earth make round/moving earth totally impossible. You sound like the pro-aborts who say the Church has no business in women's personal lives because of separation of Church and state.

Sad.

You're right, the Church hasn't defined the shape of the earth. And yet the Jews of old believed in a flat earth. I assume that you've seen a drawing of what they believed. There's probably one on this thread somewhere. Were the Jews of old then wrong about the shape of the earth, which they based on Scripture? (Old Testament).

It's really self-contradictory for you to claim that photos are not to be believed because they're CGI, etc., and then you are happy to post images like the one shown on the video below. That picture of star trails you see there is nowhere to be seen in the world, for it is a total fabrication from flat-earther obtuseness. Just another fable for fable bearers, eh?

Hypocritically accusing others of falsifying photos while you then proceed to do the same thing that you criticize?

Actions speak for themselves, don't they.

Are you basing your claim that the video is falsified on clear proof, or are you basing it just on your assumption that it's wrong because you don't believe that the earth is flat?

What are you talking about? Timelapse photography is pretty straightforward. Have you ever made timelapse photos yourself? For your information, I have. I have made many timelapse photos. I have taken star tracks north and south of the equator. So I know what I'm talking about.

Here's some more lovely timelapses, both with the trails left in, and without, and they show the trails moving in different directions, over a not-very-wide-angle shot even.

Then it is time to take your own advice.

You do not like it being implied that your blindness and disregard for Scripture is "diabolical" in nature, and FE'ers do not like the implication that they are "stupid."
