    I dunno, but after watching some Professor Stick on YouTube, the two are almost always closely associated, by the way, if you feel for ever any reason that you hate yourself and want to have your mind collapse like a Inside Job (done by GWB) watch his 'Christianity is not a religion?' video, in which he listens to a guy who has the soul purpose in life to sell you the idea that Christianity is not a religion but a life choice and belief system (basically a religion)

    How to be a wanker/idiot 101. (the guy who said it's not the religion, not Professor Stick)

    Hell, even Confucianism is somewhat a religion. Not Buddhism though, it's more of a teaching from the Buddha. (According to this article: https://www.quora.com/Is-Buddhism-a-religion-or-philosophy)
    OT:
    I don't get why they think the world was flat, when Greek philosophers already found out it wasn't flat at all. Just f*cking wow!

    Wow... I have a different opinion about this, but the forum rules say not to talk about religion sadly...

    Flat Earthers aren't even the best conspiracy theorists. Nothing is inherently funny about it, it's just the only one people know about. Read Gene Ray's TIME CUBE website or the "Monkey Mind Obama the Great Satan" RV. Things like that are the real laughs. I'll post links later, when I'm not on mobile.

    Plus, if the Earth was actually flat, why is it possible to fly from, say, San Bernardino, to Boston without going straight outside the planet and into the galactic space?
    Well, the answer would be the Earth isn't flat at all, and these people clearly are less smarter than any driver that failed fleeing from the police.

    When I went to bed last night, here's something I thought about. The stars. How would they explain the existence of billions upon billions of stars? I said it before, the stars can easily debunk their theories, since there's some stars you can't see in some regions. Just today I thought about the fact that there are regions on Earth that may go months without sunlight. If the Earth was flat, I'm pretty sure every last bit of the Earthian Disc would be illuminated, even if just barely.

    And how would they explain the International Space Station? Considering that the ISS does record footage of the Earth, and it looks pretty spherical.


    One more, Elon Musk shooting his Tesla Roadster into space. What about the fact that you can SEE A SPHERICAL EARTH IN THE BACKGROUND? This was recorded live, so there's no way they'd have time to edit in a flat Earth.

    It is very clear that these pieces of evidence point only to the existence of a round earth, especially the part about different stars being visible at different locations at the same time. I find it funny that the flat earthers claim that all video and pictures of space are edited or CGI, which there is absolutely no conclusive evidence of, and yet the best depictions they have managed to come up with of their flat earth are all just drawings or photos taken with a curved lens, and aren't anywhere near as convincing as actual photos of space from places like the ISS.

    Spore needs a flat earth... Who can we talk to about getting an expansion pack for a game 10 years old?

    (Yes, I still play Spore. One of my all time favorite games)

    1. Stars are rotating around the disc earth, easy

    2. CGI editing, how do ou think universal made their logo? It's not rocket science, NASA could make it easily

    3. Movie Magic, that's recorded the same place they shot the moon landing, also, the moon landing is fake because the moon doesn't exist, but is actually a giant Gouvernment Death Star

    So, DEBUNKED

    Let me debunk your second answer. Don't forget that Universal Studios existed WAY PAST the beginning of CGI, so their original logo would've been a model of Earth, which of course would be spherical anyways, like globes..

    DEBUNKED!

    Some of them could've been drawn too.

    The shading proves it's actually a model. Plus, animation (which would be the form of a moving drawing) would look way different though. I could see where you're coming from though.

    I can make a model flat earth from a CD and a round earth from a soccer ball, proves nothing but the fact that they where in on it and likely filmed the moon landing in their basement, ten bucks said they killed JFK too...

    Explain the shading in the first version of the logo then. Also, the JFK assassination was by someone related to the murderer of MLK.

    It's difficult to distinguish sarcasm from seriousness there, do you really think the moon landing isn't real?

    There's a conspiracy that says it was all filmed in a film studio.
    Then again, some conspiracies can sometimes seem true (especially the conspiracy based on Hitler's death).

    Of course not

    This is just my sarcasm...
    That conspiracy I agree on, though it's the only WWII one I choose to believe
    Studio lights, used to film the moon landing, and, JFK actually killed MLK himself because logic

    1. Me too, since obviously Hitler wouldn't be that thoughtful to commit his own death.
    2. Of course it's studio lights for the shading. But also, it doesn't look like it's animated, as in the form of 2D.
