Oh if only it were possible to arrive at truths about the physical world based on reason and observation, all this worrying about which translation is more correct or what exactly a word means could be avoided... Oh wait! You can! Silly me, I forgot for a moment.

Indeed, one only needs their eyes to see the earth is flat : no curvature seen anywhere.

Unfortunately, the handful of flat-earthers who contribute here will agree with each other no matter what nonsense they come up with. I suppose their loyalty is commendable. It's too bad it is not put in service of something true and good. Instead they help each other to maintain a fantasy world.

I was only writing about flat earth when I posted that, but it turns out to be even more broadly true than I realized.

Over the the past couple of days, one of the forum's prominent flat-earthers, Truth is Eternal, was posting in support of the heresy of judaizing. Thankfully, Matthew removed the heretical posts and banned him.

Astonishingly, Meg jumped in to defend her flat earth buddy and his erroneous views, even when he was obviously (to everyone else on the forum) taking a heretical position. She was unmoved by quotes from Scripture, the Fathers, and magisterial teaching. She did not concede the Catholic position until another flat-earther told her to. (At least one of them has a basic grasp of Catholicism.)

Given that flat-earthers are constantly going to heretical sites to find support for their odd position, it is not surprising that TiE ended up embracing a heresy. If people immerse themselves in Protestant errors like sola scriptura, it is only natural that it erodes their sensus catholicus.

Good example of moving the goalposts . At first they were saying to show that there were Fathers who BELIEVED in globe earth . When shown that there were, they moved to asking for Fathers that TAUGHT globe earth. When shown this, they ask for Fathers who taught globe based on SCRIPTURE . (This actually was based on Scripture but she couldn't tell ) .

There is always some excuse to dismiss the evidence and pretend that none has ever been produced. I wonder if they really think they are fooling anyone.

.
Why should they care if anyone else is fooled, when they've made a virtual career out of fooling themselves?
.
Moving the goalposts, yes, a silly game. But everything is a silly game to Shangri-La flat-earthers.
.
Notice how they take it: no sooner you point out their deliberate deception and they proceed to ignore the facts.
.
Transparent is their middle name.
.
Flat Earth Society members emerge from all over the globe.
.
They have nothing to fear but sphere itself.

Keep adding up the nonsense -- you're destroying your own flat-earthism and don't need any help.

It's nice of you to give the benefit of the doubt, but objectively, for all we know, TiE was a Protestant all along.
Whenever he was asked if he was Protestant he suddenly disappeared from the thread, again and again.
He never proposed any specifically Catholic doctrines and often referenced Protestant web sites -- you suppose that's where he GOT his heretical ideas, but for all we know he was familiar with them because that's where he was going ANYWAY for ALL his information because that's what he IS, a Protestant, for all we know.
.
You might be presumptuous to believe that Meg and happenby deserve the same broad swath of generosity.
For all we know, they're crypto-Protestants too.
Same goes for Smedley Butler.
.
They all act like trolls and talk like trolls. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck........................

Take your eyes and try the experiments I described many times all ready.

Or, don't, and continue in you obstreperous nescience.

I did. Besides being convoluted at times, they don't prove earth a globe. To be clear, every last one is an utter failure.

You globetards wouldn't know sensus catholicus if it punched you in the face.

That's really rich coming from the Novus Ordo Mass-going, heliocentric, evolution-spouting globetards.

You did? When?
Provide links to your description of your experiments.
.
Where is the link to when you measured the angle between the quarter moon and the sun?
Where is the link to when you projected the line of sight from a full moon at midnight toward the sun's position?
Where is the link to when you charted the path of the sun setting during the equinox along an east-west landmark?
Where is the link to when you tested the angle above the horizon to Polaris at different latitudes?
Where is the link to when you carried a theodolite to a mountain top to sight the elevation level above the horizon?
.
Or, are you actually providing yet more corroboration with your already-established obstreperous nescience?

Meg is just like so many other mindless flat-earthers, who parrot their mentors without having any idea what they're talking about.
.
The same goes for happenby and Smedley Butler -- their mindless drivel speaks for itself.
They copy and paste things they don't understand but use it anyway because they copied it off their forumga-ga central site.

So, aryzia joins the ranks of the LIERS, the flat-earthers who LIE by claiming they did experiments but did no such thing.
