I had to look this up recently
AsianTrumpSupporter because
one of my friends decided she didn't trust the Masons, and believe they have been spreading this conspiracy, right down to faked moon footage and composite images of the earth to make it appear to be spherical. The last we discussed this, I had to call it "arguing over whether the earth is MORE spherical than it is flat" because we couldn't even agree what are the two sides of the argument. it wasn't flat vs round, because now it seems the earth is either more pear shaped or it is more like a rounded off discus!
Anyway, it turns out the movement is filled with people attributing Antarctica
to a round edge of ice around the earth. And lately, there has been a SPLIT
in denomination, where one former believer is now arguing that Antarctica
is indeed a continent. Now this revival of the flat earth society has a rift
just like any other political or religious movement.
So if nothing else, ATS, we may get to witness the process of Evolution,
as the thinking of this group moves from homogeneous to diversifying
into branches and subdenominations. I guess ppl have to go through the
same process as Fowler described in religious and spiritual development.
Moving from fundamentalist/literalist to becoming more moderate and open.
People who criticize, reject and blame other religions as cults brainwashing the masses,
may benefit from going through this same process, so they understand how it happens!
