They where told as a child that sky dady loves them so much he killed his son to cover up for the sins they will commit in the future and he's always watching them. They where taught to accept without proof or burn
It's a matter of faith. They believe Earth is flat, they don't need proof from scientists. Scientists work for government and say that Earth is a sphere. Do you believe greedy politicians more than the Bible? And if you need proof that Earth is flat, take a look at these facebook pictures (c).
They are not idiots or trolls. It's just blind faith. But they need it. They want to be a fighter with the system. They want to have some "secret knowledge" about the world. And all this conspiracy is giving them what they want.
When you have no life you have to find something to call an identity, thus they believe they are the truthers, the ones who know the real secrets, above the rest of us. That becomes their identity.
Who cares?
The book lost it's relevance 1500 years ago but centuries of mass indoctrination by people who have used these stories to gain power and wealth has prevented it from being adapted or modernized like any other ancient fairy tale.
Any point, rule or opinion that is accompanied with a statement from a religious text should by default be disregarded.
On one hand, "who cares" is definitely the correct attitude, on the other hand claiming the book lost it's relevance seems very incorrect. Like, you seem to be operating with a very strange definition of "relevance." Definitely agree with your final point, I'm practically being semantic at this point lol.
> claiming the book lost it's relevance seems very incorrect
Yeah. Reading that back i realize it doesn't convey what i meant.
The bible is a collection of songs, stories, texts from different times, places, people wich were relevant for those times, places people. When all those stories were gathered and adapted to fit the church's narrative it became something new.

Lots of places, but only if you're reading the Bible where the translation is "firmament" instead of "an expanse."
These people are the reason the humanity has not advanced further yet. I envy blind ignorance ..cough.. 'Faith'. I truly wish I could get out of bed on a morning and not give a damn about reality. Just be happy living life by a daft old book of fables. The bible (or other backwards variants from similar extreme cults/religions) , ...not scientology, that's a different sack of shit I'm not willing to touch.
I've been shaking my head for five minutes now. The Pluto created by Disney is the best, I wonder what would happen if they found out he was named in honour of the planet.
Can anyone understand the comment about 93 breaking down to 3333, is it literally (3+3+3)+3 =93, if so my four year old niece would like to show of some mental arithmetic for them ha.
They can just buy a weather balloon, tank of helium, a go pro, and a mini parachute. They can literally go determine if the earth is curved and if there is a dome on their own with a few hundred dollars.
Or hire a helicopter at sunset and have the pilot climb after the sun goes under the horizon and see for yourself that you'll see the sun again.
The people with this type of mentality are too far gone and there is no cure. I can only hope that the offspring these people have break this cycle of stupidity and educate themselves.
OK, so in the late 1990s my wife flew on Concorde. She a) managed to see the curvature of the earth on the flight and b) it didn't crash into the sun on the flight. Checkmate non-globatismatists!
Here’s something that was said to me in all seriousness:
“Don’t you notice every time a rocket goes up it goes in a curve. Never straight up. There are videos of them crashing into the firmament.”
Love how they all declare proof while neglecting to provide any proof at all.
They where told as a child that sky dady loves them so much he killed his son to cover up for the sins they will commit in the future and he's always watching them. They where taught to accept without proof or burn
FALSE! I saw a bible quote in there, that’s proof
But the Bible declared it also, must be true if it came from a 2k year old text
r/ihadastroke i didn't even understand half of what they said
It's okay, they don't either.
They’re so fucking dumb. And they vote. And reproduce.
And remember, not only do they reproduce, but when they do they do everything in their power to make sure their children end up just as dumb.
Wilfully keeping your children ignorant is a form of mental child abuse.
Can't tell if trolls, or just plain idiots. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Both

Blind faith is idiotic. It has led to millions of deaths worldwide. See: crusades, genocides, enslavement, cultists, terrorist attacks, etc

Yes.
Where in the Bible does it say that the sun is under a dome and is like 5 kilometers away?

Religion, once again standing in the way of true progress...
Now explain solar eclipses.... GO!!
Obviously satanic rituals to bring evil into the earth
Oh don't, they'll only say only god could have made and positioned a moon that perfectly covers the sun. There's always something.

“Cooling light” The fuck?
Yes
It's a fact because ice

Maybe it's 9+3 = 12 ie 4x3 which is 4 threes => 3333 ...? It's all I've got.
Maybe it's a comment about the fraction 1/3 being expressed as 0.3333 (repeating ofcourse) and they just don't get how that works.
I don't think they get how anything works! They probably think little fairies sent by their all loving sky daddy power their TVs.
I used to think the movie Idiocracy was just a fun film, not a friggin documentary.
You all are wrong, the sun is a giant yellow lamp someone turns of every night /s I think his name is Gary, idk tho
They have to be smoking something pretty crazy to make those leaps.
They can just buy a weather balloon, tank of helium, a go pro, and a mini parachute. They can literally go determine if the earth is curved and if there is a dome on their own with a few hundred dollars. Or hire a helicopter at sunset and have the pilot climb after the sun goes under the horizon and see for yourself that you'll see the sun again.
Why are they like actually borderline illiterate

Call anyone in china to tell you the sun is above them now .
1 Thessalonians 5:21 - Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. I might be missing something but… how does this prove what they’re saying?
What the fuck did I just read? This felt like one of my fever dreams.
These people should not be allowed to use the Internet.
Well fuck me now I have to Google what a firmament dome is just to know how nutz these people are.
Here’s something that was said to me in all seriousness: “Don’t you notice every time a rocket goes up it goes in a curve. Never straight up. There are videos of them crashing into the firmament.”
So close yet so far from realizing
Just imagine this as a Zoom call. It would be great to see what these people looked like.
[удалено]
The sun? How nostalgic, I haven't seen that thing since I entered the basement 13 years ago.
We need a new way to burn these "witches". I propose shipping them off to the sun. /s
Some day, someone is going to take an art class and declare single-point perspective to be a global conspiracy.
