Bear with me here.
Excerpts from the 1989 interview with Flat Earth President Charles Johnson.
http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/library/newspaperandmagazine/Flat-Out%20Truth,%20The%20(Schadewald).pdfLike LDS they prophesy that one day soon the whole world will know their truth with the same kind of rhetoric used in their arguments.
“When the United States declares the earth is flat,” says
Charles Johnson, “and we hope to be instrumental in making it do so, it will be the first nation in all recorded history to be known as a flat-earth nation.
“In the old days, people believed the earth was flat, because it’s logical, but they didn’t have a picture of the way it was, as we have today.
Our concept of the world is new.
“Marjory and I are the avant garde. We’re way ahead of the pack.”
We never heard that kind of talk in Sunday School! How arrogant! Oops, let me go check something first. I could be wrong.
"Flat Lakes, Too, As secretary of the Flat Earth Society, she assists in running it,
and writes a regular column in the News. She has also helped her husband perform experiments to determine the earth’s shape. If it is a sphere, the surface of a large body of water must be curved. The Johnsons have checked the surfaces of Lake Tahoe and the Salton Sea (a shallow salt lake in southern California near the Mexican border) without detecting any curvature."
Just like LDS DNA apologetics Flat Earthers have done their testing.
Obviously the way outside scientific communities have tested whether the earth was round or not are flawed or just part of the conspiracy, just like the LDS blaming good science on Satan trying to deceive the elect.
If you can write famous or important folk into your narrative it gives an air of authenticity. LDS has never done that right?
Oh wait!
The latest Deseret article on an unrelated newspaper article on Physicist Freeman Dyson having a BOM on his shelf is just like Moses being a Flat earther. Today’s Physicists own books, and made up people in the past all thought the earth was flat. See the church is true!
“Moses was a flat-earther,” he reveals. “The Flat Earth Society was founded in 1492 B.C., when
Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt and gave them the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.”
Conventional biblical chronology dates the Ten Commandments to 1491 B.C., but it may be imprecise.
Perhaps Johnson prefers 1492 for the symmetry. It was, after all, in 1492 A.D. that another famous flatearther made history."
1492, good effing grief!
And lastly for my little post here’s a perception from the flat earther about how reasonable the flat earth reality is.
We've never heard apologetics like this before. Wink FARMS, wink FAIR, wink Jeff Lindsay, wink Michael Ash, etc.
"Not the Bible but Johnson’s own common sense allowed him to see through the globe myth while he
was still in grade school. He contends that sensible people all over the world, not just Bible believers,
realize that the earth really is flat. “Wherever you find people with a great reservoir of common sense,”
he says, “ they don’t believe idiotic things such as the earth spinning around the sun. Reasonable, intelligent people have always recognized that the earth is flat.”
“Reasonable, intelligent people have always recognized that the earth is flat.”
Apologists from Scientology, Mormonism, JW’s and Sasquatch hunters don’t talk like that right?
Anywho, since Moses is in the bible and Freeman Dyson has a BOM then of course the church is true! Same as strawberries and cherries are solid proof that Fairy poop is real! I mean seriously, how is it possible that something so delicious be anything else?
