  • Yes, it can be inferred.

    It's my view that Flat Earthers must always strive to be honest, sincere, and above-board, since they are suggesting a view that is not the norm. But not only for that reason. We must always strive to adhere to the 8th commandment, even though we may fail at times given fallen human nature.
    .
    Incorrect. 
    .
    It cannot be inferred but it CAN be implied. 
    .
    It can be implied that +W supports flat-earthism even when he has responded that "It's nonsense."
    .
    Because by calumny and detraction (of which the flat-earthers are clearly most capable, as shown on many posts here on CI), false accusations can be implicated against someone, like the good Bishop, and this amounts to slander and/or libel.
    .
    So what else is new?
    .
    Flat-earthism is false from the start, and flat-earthers refuse to make the most rudimentary observations, and they refuse to test their own hypothesis. Furthermore, any detailed observations and constructive criticism of their hypothesis they cannot bear to recognize or to even think about.
    .
    Flat-earthism's myopic blindness speaks for itself.

    Amen to that Meg!

    Bless his heart, I have hope that he’ll know the truth someday  :cheers:

    I agree: God bless Bp. Williamson. He often goes out on a limb in defense of Truth. He may yet someday get behind the idea of FE. But it would only cause more trouble for him, quite possibly, as I think that he is often misunderstood in his good intentions.

    The horizon always appears perfectly flat 360 degrees around the observer regardless of altitude. All amateur balloon, rocket, plane and drone footage show a completely flat horizon over 20+ miles high. Only NASA and other government "space agencies" show curvature in their fake CGI photos/videos.

    There never has been and there never will be any depiction of a Theodolite shooting a level line of sight from a promontory of even a few hundred feet toward the horizon which shows the horizon "rising to the level of the viewer" as flat-earthers keep chanting without any evidence.
    .
    There never has been and there never will be an intelligible explanation for why the full moon faces with its sun-illuminated face toward the earth from high in the sky, from the flat-earth hypothesis which places the sun above a "flat" disc earth at nearly 90 degrees to the line of the moon's light as viewed from anywhere on planet earth.
    .
    There never has been and there never will be any "flat" earth plausible geometry describing how a quarter moon makes the angle it does to the sun (while insisting it and the moon are some 3 thousand miles above the earth) twice each month for all to see.
    .
    There never has been and there never will be any reasonable excuse for the fact that a ship or plane traveling due east (or due west) along the equator does not have to turn right (starboard) or left (port) in order to remain on the equator and due east (or west as the case may be).
    .
    There never has been and there never will be any "flat" earth demonstration of WHY two parallel courses once embarked will in due time collide with each other on the real earth, since they don't do that on the "flat" earth model.
    .
    There never has been and there never will be any reasonable "flat" earth explanation for how any weighted object in a vacuum will consistently be pulled in a perpendicular direction from the horizon line regardless of where on the real earth the experiment is conducted.
    .
    There never has been and there never will be an explanation for the numerous flights of aircraft that pass over or close to Antarctica and traverse a distance too short to be plotted on a "flat" earth model, when many pilots, co-pilots and navigators who routinely fly such courses have and will continue to attest.
    .
    There never has been and there never will be any honest video showing the horizon unable to conceal distant objects beyond the curvature of the earth, even while the refraction of light through the water vapor above a body of water makes it appear otherwise, since the progressive foreshortening of such objects belies the distortion caused by the refraction.
    .
    There never has been and there never will be a seagoing navigator using a sextant and sea charts who can accurately plot his course over a great distance overseas, when he presumes the earth is "flat."
    .
    I can go on.............
    .
    .
    Funny how the opposition caves in so quietly. Then they pretend not to understand what you said.
    .
    If I say they're lacking in courage they'll accuse me of being uncharitable. 
    .
    Sometimes the truth needs to be heard.

    No, it's not sad. It's great. What's sad is you got the title of this thread backwards.

    So, have any of you flat-earthers been able to make contact with +W and persuade him to change his mind?
    .
    Maybe if you were really polite and friendly he might abandon all the evidence of his senses and go with your craziness.
    .
    After all, someone apparently convinced him that Valtorta's Poem of the Man God was somehow commendable.

    Go to bed yourself, Lennon fan (he practiced witchcraft too -- maybe that's why you're all warm and fuzzy with him).

    How many times has Bishop Williamson been petitioned to take sides with flat-earthdom syndromers?
