“... he makes a rock-solid biblical case that the Lord has a history of judging sinful nations, and that it is usually rampant, in-your-face homosexuality that pushes the Lord over the edge.”
I think there’s a better argument that it was the violation of guest’s rights that pissed him off in Sodom.
But, hey, you still haven’t connected a secular US court and their secular decision towards US citizens that pissed off a God that’s not officially worshiped by this country.

“You may not want to admit this because the thought is uncomfortable to you, but that doesn't mean it's not true.”

And here’s me, a guy who was a Christain who couldn’t IMAGINE enjoying Heave if anyone was in Hell. Too much empathy. No one could actually deserve infinite torture.

Also, if I was an omnibenevolent God I could not imagine sending anyone to Hell. Infinite mercy would REQUIRE me to forgive, make allowances, insist that ’they’ve learned their lesson’ and so on.
That or, if absolutely forced by circumstances (that are more powerful than an omnipotent being) watch each soul in Hell every second. The INSTANT Hitler began to second=guess any of his choices, BOOM! Okay, you’ve served your time!

But you sending people to Hell for disagreeing with you, you’re the sort of Christain t hat eventually made me an atheist.

Funny, I’ve always found the Tarot imagery largely Christain-based.

The Hierophant is the Pharisees, more concerned with appearances than faith.

The Tower is the Tower of Babel, pride bringing destruction.

The Devil, in a Satanic Deck, would be more heroic, wouldn’t it? But every devil card I’ve seen, the people trapped by the Devil aren’t chained tightly, if at all. They’re free to go at any time they choose. My favorite version shows a long tunnel, with sunny fields at the end. Two naked people are trying to tug at a treasure chest of gold and jewels. The chains hold the chest, though. There is no restraint on either person, they can walk away whenever they value the sunlight more than the gold…

Well, yes, that would follow. The real God would be real.
Unless he wasn’t real, then he wouldn’t be real.
I don’t believe he’s real.

“Fairy-tale characters are for darwinists,”
Uh huh. Yes, the entire point of the peer review system is to add fantasy characters to the theory.

“i.e. many/most darwinist believe space aliens jizzed on the earth to create bacteria”
Um… Citation?
Or even a cartoon?
Why would scattered sperm create bacteria?
Why would anyone think that creatures that have sex would produce asexual creatures by having simulated sex? I don’t get this.

“which proceeded to transform into all forms of life.”
No, you’re thinking of Pokemon. They used the word ‘evolution’ only because no one on the staff could spell ‘metamorphosis’ twice the same way. Nothing to do with the science, though.

“Those space aliens with magical jizz are fairy-tale characters.”
Yes, I believe you made them up.
OoH! I get it! You completely misunderstand the term ‘panspermia.’

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Yeah.
The main reason we don’t have universal health care in this country is because business wants to make sure they can tie our insurance to employment. It actually costs them money to insure us, and to lobby the government to avoid anything communist like socialized medicine, but that means they can cut minimum wage so that desperate people will still show up for work to get health care.
Yes. You can fucking hire enough people that you can afford to let one off for a critical time OR you can support universal health care and deal with a non-frightened workforce.

“The single LARGEST vaccine–dementia study ever conducted (n=13.3 MILLION) found that adult vaccines (flu, pneumococcal, shingles, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) increase risk of DEMENTIA (+38%) and ALZHEIMER’S (+50%) for a DECADE.”

uh huh.
You have the math skills of a creationist.
Increasing the risk BY 50% is not the same as increasing the risk TO 50%.
Right now for people aged 65 to 74, about 5% of them have Alzheimer’s.
A 50% increase in the risk means 8% of the people that age.

“Also of interest is the name of the e.u. vessel [to Mars]...the 'Beagle 2'.”
Yeah, I can see why raptards think that’s a significant clue.

“That was the name of the boat Charles Darwin used to venture out into the uncharted areas to do his 'research'.”
Yes. Pretty much everyone understood Trillian’s costume on Hitchhiker’s Guide.

“Interesting thoughts come to mind don't they?”
Ah. You hold Genesis to be literal, so you can’t stand the idea of evolutionary theory being researched and held to be good science.
That’s good. That’s real good.
Because of Genesis is literal, then the Earth is flat. The sky is solid. The planets and stars and moon and sun roll around inside the sky.
The very idea of a spaceship traveling to Mars and going more than about 400 miles straight up is very unbiblical, as much as an old Earth and Evolution and humans being a form of ape and common ancestors and all the science.
So, yeah, Beagle II would be appropriate, as would you sticking your head in the sand and pretending it’s all a conspiracy.

But then, what is the entire fucking POINT of the conspiracy naming it after the Beagle? If they KNOW that Darwin’s work is all false, then they know that they are always constantly just inches away from being discovered. And they know about creationists. So they KNOW that naming it the Beagle would make you idiots suspect everything the fucking mission sends back.
It’s waving a red flag, ASKING to be more heavily scrutinized, improving the chances of being caught red-handed.
WHY do conspiracy theorists insist that people with the ability to trick and fool the majority of the Earth’s population make a POINT of taunting the few they haven’t fooled?

“But how do you justify right and wrong in atheism?”
All atheism is is the lack of a belief in any deity. Atheism does not justify right or wrong.
HOWEVER as a human being, I understand that we have evolved as social creatures.
We developed morals so that we can trust each other, build a community, base a civilization, and sell more tickets to the movies.
Without an external, eternal lawgiver, we still have a need for morals.
Basically, we try to reduce the amount of unnecessary harm to others in the hopes that they’ll limit any harm to ourselves. Enlightened self-interest works wonderfully.

“So is rape wrong in atheism?”
Certain more atheists find rape to be wrong than theists.
It’s the Christains who insist that she was ‘asking for it’ by what she wore, or where she went, or that the men couldn’t help themselves.

“Evidently asteroids are fragile too.”
I’d say that ANYTHING in an uncontrolled collision at reentry velocity could be termed ‘fragile.’

“And if an asteroid hit the earth (not the other way around), are they saying the earth is stationary in space?’”
So, go watch one of those WWII movies like High Noon. If the Germans shoot anti-aircraft guns at the bombers, and the shells HIT the bomber, is anyone suggesting that the bombers are not moving?
Or Das Boot? If a torpedo hits an allied shipping vessel, is the vessel stationary? Is the torpedo the only thing moving?

OOOH! Or watch the Blue Danube part of 2001. When the PanAm jet reaches the space station in orbit,which one is stationary? It’s not like two moving things can reach each other, is it?

“ What is toxic masculinity? Who has it? Who’s too masculine?”
Toxic masculinity =! too masculine, darling.
Toxic masculinity is concentrating on BEING masculine, to the point of harming yourself or others.
Treating mental health as a weakness because ‘real men’ just bear through it is a fine example.

Had a D&D campaign, once, where the Dungeon Master had been an Army Ranger. Every wizard, cleric, and thief had their encumbrance calculated to the nearest gram, but for fighters, he just figured they’d muscle through it.
My druid would have to remove jokers from his deck of cards to be able to move, a fighter would state the intent to hide a menhir in his backpack and just have to roll to see if anyone noticed him taking it.

Meh. I think they just can’t figure out how to prosecute a divorce where two people leave the third. If the two wives kick the man out what name do they use?

“We prohibit_bestiality to protect animals against abuse"
Well, animals can’t legally consent, so it’s just rape, which is illegal.

“We prohibit_pederasty to protect children.”
And minors can’t legally consent, so it’s just rape, which is illegal.

“We prohibit_murder to protect people from killing each other.”
And then divide the act into a couple dozen headings to gauge just HOW prohibited it was. Murder 1st Degree, murder in the 2nd, negligent manslaughter, malpractice, self-defense, war,

“We prohibit_incest to protect families against abuse and to avoid the chance of babies with genetic abnormalities.”
Where is incest prohibited? While i was in the Navy, i knew of one guy that married his mother, another that married a sister. May depend on the state.

“We prohibit two people of the same gender from being called a marriage because kids have the right to be raised by their biological mother and father”
Oooooooooh, that’s where you’re going.
If that was true, we’d prohibit all adoptions and all remarriages if anyone has a ‘child from a previous marriage.’ My coworker couldn’t have had any children by sperm donor.

So, the universe has existed since the beginning of time, what else would you call that than Eternal?

Funny, when I criticize jehoah’s actions on that basis, theists call me an opinionated, impotent, ass with no understanding of theissue.

“Of coarse not. It doesn't make sense! How would we reproduce?”
Well, there are a few species that are composed of nothing but females. They have physical relations without the exchange of DNA, but they reproduce asexually.
But more likely, if a species develops so that SOME members become adults that contribute to protecting the Herd, but don’t strain resources by producing offspring, and they find a benefit from that, there’s no reason for that not to happen.

“I also think people are born gay, just like people are born with Autism. It is a defect.”
Eh. Pretty sure I and most of my kids are on the spectrum, somewhere. My granddaughter is. But some of them were born left-handed, too. It’s not a defect as much as a fact.

“LIBERALISM in religion asserts that everyone is entitled to his own opinion — and to absolute respect for his opinions.”
That’s actually the first Amendment…almost.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But Nothing requires me to respect that opinion. I just have to respect his RIGHT to have an opinion.
For example, anyone who thinks Trump belongs on Mount Rushmore is entitled to that opinion. Thinking it deserves respect as an opinion though.. Well, opinions are like assholes, no one knows what yours is like until you air it.

“It thus has the great advantage of giving the appearance of flexibility, open-mindedness, kindness and generosity”
No, not really.
No liberal respects any Deplorable’s opinion about the Orange Shitstain. We just can’t legislate against you having that opinion.

“Yet beneath the surface lurks that horror of all horrors — dogma, the very thing Liberalism claims to reject”
Define dogma,then, please, and identify the liberal ‘dogma’ you think we hold to be sacrosanct in our ‘religion’ of liberalism.

“Beneath the appearance of complete tolerance, one finds stern, unyielding disapproval.”
You mean like Elon promising absolute freedom of speech, then banning people for making him upset? Yeah, no liberal claims complete tolerance. It’s an offer, not a religion.
IF you tolerate the people we tolerate, we’ll tolerate you, too. But as soon as you start trimming the people you’ll tolerate, we’ll stop tolerating you.

Only thing is, I’ve been stationed on twelve US Navy bases. There’s usually an entire industry of skin around such places. Strip clubs in New London, Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach, Colleges in Charleston, Jags cheerleaders in Jacksonville… Women on display is a constant around the military.
And men have ENOUGH control not to jump women when the bouncer is watching.
They have enough control not to rape anyone if there’s a crowd that might stop them.
They have enough control not to just rush the stage or rush the cheerleaders or climb onto the girls-school bus…
Men aren’t loosing control until they’re on the witness stand.

But then, there’s no evidence of a global flood, either, so it’s a wash.

Baby animals require more care than adults. 8 people is not enough to get that many animals through a year afloat.

A whole bunch of ‘religions’ claimed they were the template. Committees were formed to determine the tenets with the widest appeal, the greatest number of followers.
The articles of faith define Christainty, and were used to select the books that were edited into the official Bible.
At no point did the process involve lightning, a burning bush, stone tablets, or rivers of blood. Just a lot of meetings.

You had enough power to have sex.
You had enough power to choose to have sex with a minor.
You knew that they were minors because clearly you’ve spent a LOT of time thinking about the consequences of having sex with minors.
So the reasons people have for punishing pedophiles isn’t as important as the child abuse. You did it, you pay for it.

"They call teen sex pedophilia because people rightfully hate pedophilia and the commoners are too stupid for higher thought like the kind needed for looking at the simple biology that proves teens are capable of sex.”
The age of consent is not a biology litmus test.

“Now that the Obama regime has erased all gender from the military, what's next?”
Last time I was on base, there were still male and female bathrooms, not unisex.
And there are still male and female uniforms.
And male and female standards for body fat, physical fitness.
But, you know, REALITY is not a WND friend. It’s all or nothing with you guys. Women can get combat pay and qualify for promotions that require combat experience, that means THERE ARE NO GENDERS!

“Co-ed barracks?”
Um, I’ve lived in several of those. Starting in 1982.

“Co-ed showers?”
I doubt we’ll be that adult in your lifetime, and what difference does it make to you? Are you going to enlist?

“When God created mankind He created them male and female that's the natural order of things.”
You should go back and read chapter two. When he made Adam, he made the beasts of the field and expected one of them to be chosen. Woman was ONLY made after Adam wasn’t interested in the goat, pig, cow, Rhode Island Red…

“The Obama regime has trampled that under foot.”
Last I looked, we’re still male and female… And goats, and pigs, and cows…

“The military will suffer because of this”
Heard the same argument about women being on sea-going commands. And about blacks being able to be something other than steward and cooks. And about gays in the military. OH! And when the Draft went away! Exact same complaint!
Don’t you fucking idiots ever update the arguments? Doom and gloom and slippery slope… And then nothing happens.

“to destroy our country and our military. This man will surely give account for his arrogant sinful self in the day of judgement.”
Weird how you guys are accepting treason from Trump right now, but wouldn’t accept equality or healthcare from a black man…

“Dawkins has also suggested that atheists, like gays, should come out of the closet. Well, what if they don't want to?”
Do you know the difference between ‘suggested’ and ‘demanded’?

“I don't know if Dawkins would support "outing" atheists.”
So, no, you don’t know what ‘suggested’ means.

“Can an atheist "rights" group be far behind?”
We already have that. 1st Amendment, religious freedom covers Atheism, according to a Supreme Court Decision.

“Hate crimes laws to protect atheists?”
Do we need one?
Do you plan on beating people up just because we’re atheists?
Do you see anything WRONG with hate-crime laws to protect atheists? Would you feel slighted being told ‘no, don’t.’?

“Affirmative action for unbelievers?”
We’re not really a threatened group. Most everyone in my building doesn’t know I’m an atheist. They know I’m a nerd, a Trekker, a veteran, and they come to me to make sure their English is correct. But I’ve had coworkers mention that they’ve never met an atheist… Usually while talking to me.
We’re pretty well represented.
But why are you talking about this like it’s a problem?

“An Atheist Annual Parade, complete with dancers and floats? Atheist History Month?”
Ah. You’re a bigot. You hate any attention being directed at anything you can’t be part of, huh?

"Ask the question: How does the Earth's atmosphere stay adjacent to the Earth's surface?
The Tardly Answer is: "Gravity of The Earth."”
Yes, that is the answer.

“Okay, let's assume that it is the Earth's gravity holding its atmosphere.”
Kinda redundant to assume the answer given…

If that is so, then opening up a container with a vacuum inside should not suck any air into it.”
Oh! A thought experiment? But you don’t know enough to actually conduct it.
At sea level, the air itself exerts 14 pounds per square inch pressure against any surface, such as your skin, or the opening of a container with a vacuum inside. Gravity is not strong enough to hold air back against 14 PSI.
The pressure is from the weight of the air above it.

“After all, the "vacuum of space" surrounding the Earth is no different than a big bottle with a vacuum inside of it. But, the "vacuum of space" Does not suck up the Earth's atmosphere.”
Vacuums don’t suck. The pressure of the pressurized space blows.
As you rise, there is less and less air above you. The pressure decreases. Until it gets to the point where it does not overcome the pull of gravity.

“And, the sheer volume of the Earth's atmosphere should act no differently in response to a vacuum bottle than to a vacuum surrounding the Earth.”
You still think of vacuums as sucking, but they don’t.

"You cannot refute this,”
I can easily refute this, and I’ve only graduated high school.

"for the same reason that small rocks fall at the same speed as huge rocks.”
So, you’ve HEARD of gravity, just don’t believe in it.

“And Yes, the Earth does have enough gravity to make the atmosphere denser at the surface, just as there is increasing water pressure as one goes further under water.
It is just that there is no "outer space vacuum."”
All the tools in front of you and yu pulle the answer out of your ass…

“Put on your thinking caps, Snowflakes. And, try not to get upset.”
Yes, yes, you’re really in the position to talk down to everyone else..

another glimpse of the madman across the water #fundie

“the human body is subject to the laws of electricity and gravity. the planets and stars have a gravitational effect on electricity. this is also why i believe that the moon has an effect on people's moods - and if you don't buy that one, ask any 911 dispatcher what full moons are like.”

Okay, gravity affects depend on the mass of BOTH objects involved and the distance between them.
Tie a raisin on a piece of dental floss and swing it around your head at about arm’s length. That raisin exerts about the same gravitational force on your body that the moon does as it goes overhead.
If that force affected human moods, then every time a car passed someone on the sidewalk they’d fritz.

And I’ve spoken to a few volunteer firemen, ambulance techs, ER workers… Some swear by the Full Moon Effect, some say it’s bunk.
Some swear it’s paydays that bring out the crazies, especially in a military town where everyone has the same payday.

I tend to suspect quite a lot of bias confirmation.

“No one has to go to football games.”
How unexpected, that the people who complain about homosexuality always being SHOVED DOWN MY THROATS, or transgenders, or interracial dating, see nothing wrong with someone paying $300 to sit in the stands and have someone else’s superstition shoved down their throat…

“And imposing a religion of silence is neutral? No, it's a point of view.”
There is no religion of silence you brain-dead booby. Rather, it’s a moment you can feel free to think whatever you want, whether religious or bone-ass stupid in nature.
Or to quote Mark Twain, but i repeat myself.

“Taxing Christians for Godless schools is neutral? No.”
Society needs schools. You benefit from society being educated. So the guy at the counter can make change or take your order. So the waitress can discuss your allergies. So the guy at the car wash can understand your concerns about the SAVED bumper sticker.
Take heart that they do NOT teach god in schools.
The first church/state separation lawsuit was Catholic parents who were upset that their kids were being taught a Baptist prayer. Could just as easily be Mormon, or Islam, Hindu, whatever.

“If there were no God, what would be wrong with Christians taxing, or even eating, atheists?”
We evolved as social creatures to live together in groups. Eating atheists would be anti-social and anti-neighborly. Don’t even need to invoke a god to call it bad.

“There has to be something more, because logic demands it.”
I don’t think you’re logicing correctly.

“To say that the purpose of all living things is simply in order to reproduce, is circular logic.”
How is that circular? The function of DNA is to make more DNA, and the creature is the means to do that. We observe no externally applied purpose beyond that.
Are you sure you’ve identified circular logic, or have other people just dismissed your ideas so often that you use ‘circular logic’ as a pejorative?

“It's like saying, the purpose of life is to live.”
That’s not circular, that’s closer to a tautology. Kinda self-evident. But I’d rather say that the FUNCTION of life is to live.
If you have evidence of purpose that’s assigned from above, feel free to show it.
Oh. But if you did, you wouldn’t be trying to pretend that you can logically prove this external purpose… Shucks.

“There clearly must be something more than living, because everything else that is designed intelligently has some sort of purpose.”
You assume life is intelligently designed.
That’s a bit of a clue, actually. Anything intelligently designed WAS created for someone else’s purpose. Forks for our eating, clocks for our timing, the internet for our porn, and so on.
Living life things have no apparent external purpose.
Logically, therefore, life is not intelligently designed.
We can revisit this conclusion if you ever find independent and objective evidence of an assigned purpose.

“ I think the fact that every human wants purpose and seeks it, is proof it exists in some form or another. [emphasis added]”
God exists because I want to feel a purpose in my life?
Kind of a self-serving line of bullshit, seems to me.

“1. Every natural, innate desire in us corresponds to some real object that can satisfy that desire.”
First night of my second refit, a guy from the tender was installing a SPALT in our MCC while I was on watch. My chief came back from liberty, drunk, and offered ANYTHING the man wanted as support. “Except for a five foot blonde with a six foot pussy, we can’t fix that.”
I know some people with such a desire, or something similar, but no way of satisfying their desire.
#1 can only be true if you’re going to throw out some desires as ‘not natural’ or ‘not innate.’

“2. But there exists in us a desire which nothing in time, nothing on earth, no creature can satisfy.”
Yes, I have a few paraphilias that cannot be satisfied on Earth. Kinda spoils the whole argument.

“3. Therefore, there must exist something more than time, earth and creatures, which can satisfy this desire.”
So, god exists because I want god to exist. That’s the argument.
Reminds me of the teen that came out of Beetlejuice shouting ‘Farah Fawcett!’ three times.

“[Hypocrisy] Funny how opposing racemixing equals White supremacy”
Well, um… I can’t think of any white race purists who are NOT white supremacists. So while I will stipulate that it’s possible, if a white man vocally opposes racemixing, I’m going to figure he’s a white supremacist as a working hypothesis, until proven otherwise.

“I see intrinsic value in all peoples, races, and cultures.”
As long as they stay out of yours, right?

“I understand that mixture leads to the loss of what makes each and every one of these peoples and cultures unique.”
Assuming that’s true, that’s… A bad thing?
I dunno. What is it about whites that makes them unique that is lost to the children of an interracial couple? I need specifics.
So, I was a Fire Control Technician, my wife was a Data Processor, my son a Boatswain’s Mate. I can’t find anything any of us could not do based on race. Not in the Navy, not out of it… I mean, the kid’s an idiot, but he got the grades he got because of his personal attention span, not his race.

“Therefore, I oppose this mixture.”
Good to know. Now, siddown, people are talking.

“India is for Indians, China for the Chinese, and Europe is for White people.”
Category error. Not everyone in Europe has always been considered white. The Klan treated Italians and Irishmen as different races for a long time. But then, if you exclude Italians, you can’t claim white people built civilization…

“I oppose racemixing, for it erases millions of years of seperate genetic developments.”
No, it doesn’t. Each of my kids has half my genes. My genetic development is projected into the future just like my parents’, their parents’, and their parents’… It erase zip point shit.
But due to the one-drop rule, you pretend it’s a different breed.

“And this makes me a "racist".”
Well, yes.

“Some call me a "White supremacist" or a "nazi" despite my opinions applying to all races equally.”
Your attempt at protective coloration does not make you any less of a white supremacist. Talk all your shit, you’re still only upset that a white person has interracial kids.

“The media portrays my love for all the peoples as "hate", while simultaneously spitting anti-White propaganda like it's nothing.”
See? You only notice what you think of is an attack on whites, you poor, misrable, targeted, fuckstain.

“Funny how things turn out.”
You’re setting yourself up for inbreeding.

“(They're talking about us again)”
Oh, goody!

“In other words, plagiarism.”
That’s one word. Not ‘other words.’
Homeschooled or heavy meth use?
And, really, it’s never been plagiarism if I make it clear that I’m not the author. If I actually name the source, AND provide a link to the quote, it’s EXACTLY what we’re supposed to do to make it NOT be plagiarism.
You took a lot of metal shop electives, didn’t you?

“They may be good at making themselves *look* intelligent, but none of it would stand in an actual classroom, because the ideas are not original, nor are they cited.”
Dude, you’re the one misusing ‘plagiarism,’ which is taught in the classroom. You’ve shot your ‘intelligent looks’ right in the face.
And i’ve never pretended that any quote i quoted was original to me.

“I really have to wonder if they understand just what it is they are copying and pasting.”
Well, check to see how it’s tagged. See if the tags fit, you know?

“I've occasionally read through some of that garbage, and it is so redundant and full of holes. They think that just because they use a few big words, that all of us will necessarily be hopelessly confused and taken aback.”
No, i think if i use words the way they’re actually defined, you’ll be confused and frustrated.

“It's like they're convinced that we're half illiterate or something.”
Half? Hahahahaha!

“If we are descendant from apes, how come apes are still around?”
My ancestors came from Scotland. Why are there still people in Scotland?
Same question, same answer.

“I know this question has been asked several times, and I ask it again only because it's a valid question,”
No, it fucking is not.
No one has ever said that ALL apes evolved into humans.
In fact, separation is a critical part of most evolution models.

“which evolutionists still haven't answered, other than with a canned, ready-made non-direct response.”
No, it’s pretty direct.
Your question is stupid. What, exactly, would you expect as a direct answer?
“OH! That’s RIGHT! I saw an ape at the zoo! EVOLUTION IS DISPROVEN!”

“Yeah according to the evolutionist lunatics, woodpeckers were regular birds who began to kill themselves over time beating their beaks into the trunks of trees and smashing their beaks, heads, and brains in until they developed the ability to peck the trunks with no harm to themselves............”
Um, no. No, that’s not part of the theory.
If they bashed themselves dead, then they would not have had offspring. They’d have been selected AGAINST.

“They create solutions to problems that never existed.....”
This from the demographic that thinks the Bible says not to have abortions.

“MANY of us have been saying the globe deception was intended”
What difference can it possibly make?
The ‘deception’ would have to involve most of the population.
Anyone who could possibly discover any evidence that shattered the illusion wouldhaveto be in on it.

Everyone who goes into space would be complicit. As well as anyone on the ground looking at their films and videos and flight patterns. Anyone supporting the computers that store the films and videos andflight patterns. Anyone who evercould be near one of those computers, including the janitorial staff. They couldn’t afford anyone saying ‘this one time I saw some hinky shit but they told me to ignore it and shut up’ to support the conspiracy theorists.

And every single person in the satellite industry, including building them, launching them, tracking them, pointing antenna at where they are supposed to be, and dealing with the pictures they send back.

Every SINGLE pilot would need to be in on it. SOmeone has to adjust the gyroscope so they don’t fly off the end of the earth. Commercial pilots, military pilots, all air crews, and every doctor with a private license… EVERYONEthat gets up high enough to evaluate the horizon.

Weathermen discussing what the satellite shows us about the other side of the state… And making sure the tide projections reflect the motion of the moon IAW the global model.
Everyone thatmakes globes, maps, atlases.

Everyone in the airline industry who uses the ‘great circle navigation’ to pretend they’re going over the shoulder of the world, and never making up lost time by going straight to the destination…

Every artilleryman who shoots a weapon that has to take the curve of the Earth into account has to be complicit or they’ll miss. Everyone programming nuclear missiles,same-same.

Just how many people could possibly be safely OUTSIDE of the globe-earth conspiracy? And NONE of the rest ever talking?
It’s going to be so many people that it’s not a conspiracy, it’s the status quo. And everyone inside knows that there is a lie, so who is the lie hiding things from?
