and so, Jesus may actually have walked on water.

I'll tell you, I never got the big fuss about Jesus walking on water. I can walk on my lake three months of the year here, no problem.

Not if you want to keep the element of surprise.

We're lucky to be alive. That big wind yesterday could have blown the disc on to a vertical axis, and we would all have fallen off.

No but it's amazing how gravity effects ones perception of upright.

If a person was standing at the south pole and they could be viewed from space would they appear upside down?

It depends on of the viewer from space is upside down or not. It's all about perspective

Of course it’s flat. How else could we build houses and skyscrapers?? The only part of earth that is not flat is in Pisa and look at how that turned out. Everyone thought pizza was round too, last time I ordered it came as a square.

Yep, there's a whole movement of them. They have flat earth conventions. They even have a flat earth dating app.

Great documentary out about Flat Earth called 'Behind the Curve'. Learned a lot about the makeup of this movement.

For one thing, FE is not a unified church. You have your people who believe it's a flat disc. Others believe it's a curved disc. Others believe that the flat earth is but one region on an infinite plain. These factions do not particularly like one another and in some cases they believe that the other factions are exactly as bad as their believed conspiracy of the round earth.

What's hilarious is that some of these Flat Earthers are becoming so cocky that they're now conducting research to prove their hypothesis. One such experiment involved buying an outrageously expensive laser gyroscope (20,000 dollars) to disprove the idea of a spinning earth (Flat Earthers typically believe in a geocentric cosmological model). After finding that the gyro drifted 15 degrees per hour, they decided to hush up the result and tried to convince themselves that some sort of interference was happening.

Psychologically, it's also interesting. One guy who became the sort-of spokesman for the movement found himself going from a nobody to somebody. He had respect, and he also had the prospect of romance with a woman as deeply into the movement as he. You can see the sunk cost principle at work, here. Hard for him to walk from all his friends and standing. He basically admits as much in the documentary.

Do all those religious weirdoes who think there's a place in the sky that is "Heaven", do they think the earth is flat?

To take the OP's question seriously for a second, the flat earth society is mostly a combination of people there for the lolz, contrarians who want to be different, a number of grifters looking to make bank off of the whole thing and a small number of true believers. If you watch a few flat earth videos and read the comments, you'll begin to notice a few common themes.

One is an inability to grasp scale. They simply can't get their heads around how massive the Earth and Solar Syatem is.
Two is their $h!tty "experiments" that mess up numbers, have no control and ignore any variables that don't suit them ("water on spinning tennis ball" and "water always finds it's level" bieng two examples). They also infamously covered up results that prove the opposite of a flat earth.
Three is that they usually lean super religious and try to cite the bible as evidence for a flat earth. Ive gotten into a couple of discussions with flat earthers online and it always comes back to Jesus with them...always.
Four is that there is a strong willingness to believe any and every conspiracy theory going. Chemtrails, 5G masts, fake moon landing...all of it. This allows them to all believe each others contradictory bull$h!t as they go further down the rabbit hole to unexplain the world. It currently stands as...

The earth is a flat disc with the North pole at it's centre. Around the outer edge is a game of thrones style ice wall that we know as Antarctica. Beyond that there may or may not be more continents full of mineral wealth. Antarctica is off limits due to the antarctic treaty and full of milliraty patrols who dissapear anyone who finds out the truth. All of this is covered is a Simpsons-movie-style giant dome called the firmament that keeps the atmosphere from escaping. It goes much, much deeper than that but you get the point.

I have some friends who have spent all their free time over the last few years watching YouTube videos and “researching” this stuff. They are full on level 4 mentallers at this stage.

Flat earth.
No space travel, NASA are scammers.
Chemtrails.
Anti vaccines.
Covid is a scam and Tom Hanks is a shill faking that he had it. Apparently he was a shill for Aids as well and then they kept him waiting 30 years to be the poster boy for Covid.

Baffling and embarrassing to listen to. They firmly believe all this is right and the world is wrong. We are in our bubble and should wake up and research this stuff for ourselves.
If they believed in one of them I would say whatever. But how can you believe every single thing is a lie. I ask them why and they say blah blah control and can’t give any logical reason.

If you get a long level, you would see the bubble in the middle for level. If the Earth is not flat then how is this possible? BOOM!
