Everybody, repeat after me.

This is a CIRCLE.

This is a GLOBE.

I have a question for the flat earthers. I have been thinking about this and it still does not make sense to me. Flat earthers say that when ships or islands or mountains or anything else appears to sink below the horizon it is only an illusion and if you look with a telescope the object can be seen. But does it work the same way with the sun? When the sun seems to sink below the horizon is it also an illusion and if you look for the sun with a telescope, can you see the sun like they say you can see the boats and islands and mountains when they sink below the horizon?

These FlatTards use deceit to claim the Bible teaches the "earth is flat." The Bible never mentions the word "flat" to describe shape of the earth.

The word "flat" is a very simple word and concept to describe an object. Surely, the word existed in the Hebrew and Koine Greek language, so why didn't the Bible writers use it to describe the shape of the earth?

These FlatTards are saying Our Lady of La Salette is wrong. She can't be wrong.

Regarding Our Lady's warning about earthquakes to come, she say's "the EARTH's GLOBE will have convulsions and earthquakes." It makes absolutely no sense for FlatTards to refer to the sky (which is a "globe" according to them) as having earthquakes when, according to their "flat earth" theory, these "half globes" represent the sky above the earth and the domain, which consists of water or dust, below the earth's land mass and navigable waters, respectively.

In other words, these FlatTards are saying there will be earthquakes in the sky according to Our Lady. This is preposterous.

Our Lady is referring to the earth that we can see and upon that we physically live. It will have convulsions and earthquakes. She calls this land mass "the earth's globe".

These FlatTards are deceitful and they lack reading comprehension problem. They lack understanding of what Our Lady is stating, and they willfully reject it after it's explained to them.

Don't expect a straight answer from them. They never give one, rather they'll post a link to a video and tell you to watch it or they'll post a borderline facetious illustration of a false premise in which they base their arguments. I've wondered if there is some demonic element with this movement. The people say the same things and they're zealous for it.

It's a pattern with these people. I've, also, noticed a lot of them are women, which isn't really a surprise because they're more prone to emotional attachments to falsehoods. This might be indicative of the their personal or home life being unfulfilling in some way, therefore, they compensate by emotionally investing into a sensational theory. This sensational theory is their "husband" or "family". They defend the sensational like they'd (suppose to) defend their child's or husband's character.

A jet flying westward during daytime at say the 25th parallel north of the equator stays in the same position relative to the sun above as if the sun were not moving, whereas a jet flying eastward changes position with respect to the sun above twice as fast such that the sun appears to cross the sky at double speed.

The same pilot taking off in a jet toward the sunset can watch the sun hover at the horizon without setting as long as the jet continues to fly west. Only when the jet turns north or south will it see the sun set below the horizon.

Furthermore, a jet at the 20th parallel or the 30th for example (north of the equator) has to continually adjust its course toward the north in order to fly westward with a constant compass bearing of west. However, at the equator, no adjustment is necessary and the jet can fly west without turning. South of the equator, the same jet must constantly turn south (left) in order to continue flying west, and the further south from the equator it is, the more it has to turn to keep a westward compass bearing.
