    :laugh2: Seriously, seriously? The only people bent out of shape are you dogmatic FEers. My only concern is that you people are making traditional Catholics look like clowns. None of you are scientifically minded. Frankly, just by reading your posts you aren’t even in the same league as you confreres on the topic, although you’ve never impressed me on any other subject you’ve posted on either. When you say things like the Sun is a spotlight, I’m truly embarrassed for you. I’ll give you a tip, buy a telescope or pair of binoculars and start by looking at the moon. Remember, don’t look directly at the “spotlight” as it may blind you, you need a filter. :laugh1:

    Yes, this type of reaction is very revealing.

    If some guy came on here and started claiming that the earth is shaped like a donut, I'd do the old circle by the ear gesture while whistling and then move along.  But I would hardly get this bent out of shape, nor would I spend inordinate amounts of time refuting it, as something without evidence for it hardly requires refutation.

    So, two factors have to be in play to elicit this type of reaction:

    1) there has to be a solid and credible case for FE.  If I claimed donut shape, as per above, people would not be bent out of shape or hostile because there's no credible evidence for this.

    2) there has to be some deep-seeded psychological attachment to the globe.  This is due to the programming, where individuals had to do violence to their common sense in order to accept what their trusted "authorities" were telling them.  There's a huge amount of discomfort created when having to be deprogrammed from some kind of cult-like indoctrination.

    Were it not for both of these being in play, we'd just get blown off, ignored, and relegated to the fringe.  Nobody would waste this kind of time arguing with people who were obviously unhinged and unbalanced.

    You probably didn't understand what I wrote.  Your reading comprehension is sub-par at best.

    p.s.  Please explain where the firmament is in the globe earth, so you can avoid being a heretic.

    My only concern is that you people are making traditional Catholics look like clowns.

    Riiight ... this kind of statement exposes clearly how you're considering the question with "intellectual honesty" and "an open mind".

    To paraphrase St. Thomas' quote about the "pigs flying," I'd rather be a clown (a fool for Christ) and considered such by the world than to reject the inerrancy of Sacred Scripture and become a Modernist heretic.  We're "fools for Christ" on all kinds of matters over which the world will ridicule us, but our primary concern and focus is the TRUTH, without any regard for your snowflakish human respect, which is very pathetic and effeminate.  You determine what's true first and then worry about what people think afterwards.  Most people have a negative opinion of Trad Catholics due to what many of us believe about the Jews and the h0Ɩ0h0αx ... and yet I don't see you excoriating such people on this forum.

    You're the clown, and your behavior is at once pathetic and disturbingly effeminate.

    I'm fine with people who honestly aren't convinced that the earth is flat, provided they come up with a non-heretical explanation for the firmament described by Sacred Scripture, but I'm not fine with the intellectually dishonest who put their feeble minds on display by being unable to consider the question objectively and with an open mind.  I've got no respect for the likes of you, and I'm quite frankly embarrassed for you.

    Come on, I can believe in the firmament and not have to understand it or explain how it works, just like I believe in the Holy Trinity and not have to explain that mystery. That’s theology 101. But you have the issue of either believing some bozo on YouTube or your lying eyes. 

    You don’t have to spend a 1000+ dollars on a Nikon P1000 and lie about not knowing how to use it, simply buy an inexpensive $50 telescope or binoculars.

    Oh my.  Your lack of logic is breathtaking.  Let's unpack the above.

    1.  So you're equating the firmament (a natural aspect of the physical universe) with a supernatural mystery?  :laugh1:
    2.  Why can't I believe that the earth has 4 corners, has a foundation, and doesn't move (all part of Scripture) without having to explain how it works?
    3.  Why does the firmament get a pass on explanation but FE doesn't?

    Why should I trust the lying, atheist, anti-catholic, bozos in "Science", if my eyes tell me the earth is not spinning through space and there is no curvature of the earth, nor does water curve, etc.

    My analogy is strikingly good, it’s very sad that you fail to grasp it. Secondly, why don’t you trust the truth telling, Catholic, GE believing scientists who vastly outnumber the FE bozos?

    • For things you can’t explain, it’s a supernatural mystery.  For things I can’t explain “no working model = failure”. 

    :laugh2:  You can’t make this stuff up.

    THIS ^^^

    We're just wasting time here.  These guys are not going to change their minds since they're not looking with an open mind.

    We're in "Yes it is.  No it isn't.  Yes it is.  No it isn't." mode here and have been for a very long time.  If someone is truly interested, they can find what they need out there, or, rather, they can ask for good links to go look at as Jewgle and Jewtube suppress the information more and more.

    You can’t possibly be that thick, can you?

    You asked me to: “Please explain where the firmament is in the globe earth, so you can avoid being a heretic.”.

    I told you I don’t need to explain something in order to believe in a truth of faith. I used as an example the Blessed Trinity. I believe in the mystery but can’t completely explain it. I believe in the Firmament but I’m not quite sure how it works with the global model. In past posts I imbedded drawings that incorporated the Firmament in the GE model. For centuries 99.9%+ of intelligent Catholic’s believed in a GE with a Firmament. 

    You are pushing the FE theory as being nearly dogmatic, if not outright dogmatic. I DON’T contend that GE is dogmatic, I’m just saying that FE is preposterous and has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. If you believe in FE, you maybe a clown, but you’re not a heretic.

    You and the egghead are the biggest gaslighters on here?

    Ok, so there's no "catholic working model" of the globe. 


    :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:  That's the ENTIRE point of FE.  To search for a "catholic working model" of the earth, because the current globe model is heretical.  :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

    • Your picture doesn’t show any details of the sun, moon?  Not a working model.  

    1.  How did NASA go to the moon, if the firmament exists?

    2.  When NASA shows videos of earth, looking down from the space station, why is the earth not spinning at 66,000 miles per hour?
