I wonder if one of the main reasons that some geocentrists insist that the earth is ball, is that all of the other observable planets are balls, and it would just be weird if the earth were flat, and not like all the others. And it IS a bit weird, to be sure, but then again, why shouldn't the earth be different than those other lifeless planets?

Why shouldn't our planet be different? That's what I would like to ask Neil next. Our planet has to support life, and a lot of it - from humans, to animals, birds, insects, plant life, etc.

As you said....the dome of the earth would have to be 93,000,000 miles away, in the system that Neil envisions and believes in, and that's not imaginable by any scale; it doesn't work. Though perhaps Neil (and Sungenis?) don't believe that there's such thing as a dome.

Perhaps geocentrist ball-earthers believe that Sacred Scripture is wrong - that Genesis is wrong, or that is has been wrongly interpreted. But of course we are allowed to interpret it literally. To say that it can be mortally sinful to believe in a flat earth defies logic and scripture.
So well said, Meg. As for Sungenis, he does not believe in the firmament. Certainly not as described in scripture. If Neil does, he needs to think about it more.

I checked in to see if any flat-earthers have observed the full moon today so they can have an intelligent discussion for a change, based on the facts of what they can see in God's sky.
.
But no, not a single post on the full moon today.
.
The moon reached its full phase at 11:12 am today, UTC -7. That means Pacific Daylight time.
.
But at 11:12 am a full moon is not visible in the sky, as one can readily know by the relative position of sun, moon and earth --- unless, that is, you subscribe to the flat-earth model which appears to have both sun and moon equally visible at that time.
.
So, just as with the coming total solar eclipse, which flat-earthers cannot predict, explain or understand, so too the full moon happening in broad daylight is something they can't predict, explain or understand either. 
.
So what CAN flat-earthers predict, explain or understand, if anything?

Another seeming masochist in the chatter's box... Good "luck". I spent ~decade living or dying by navigation among other things (incl. no map, no compass, no signal- radiance>radio giving Flat-heads fits also[LOS]) and yet I still know nothing of it.

Flat-Earther:  I learnt everything I know about the earth being flat from my next-door neighbor.

There is no curvature on the earth.
