Florida flat earther vibes more fitting at disorder
Aw fuck, he's a flat earther?
What a bummer.
I'm not one of those people who can "separate the art from the artist".
Every time I see him I'm gonna be thinking "this guy is a fucking dipshit" and it's gonna make me like him less no matter what he does.
Seriously. If this is true, as a pro skateboarder, who has literally traveled around the world, how does he believe the Earth is flat? Like at some point, when traveling, did he ever look out the plane’s window and be like “guess there is no edge.”
Shit I forgot people aren’t allowed to have their own beliefs around here. Who gives a fuck if people think the world is flat or if the world was created by a white guy with a beard as long as it’s not harming anyone. He’s a pro skater not a scientist, I highly doubt he’s influencing anyone with a bit of sense on the matter. It must be really miserable to hate everyone who doesn’t think just like you.
Don’t conflate being a flat earther with things that are actually unknowable.
Flat earth theory originates from people interpreting religious texts so I don’t see how it’s any different. My family has been spewing what they think is knowable evidence of god my whole life. Just because it’s unknowable to you doesn’t make it a fact. It doesn’t make any sense to me but I’m not going to call someone a dipshit for believing it.
I don’t quite get the comparison, but whatever. I was around mellow Christians who weren’t Talibanesque Fundamentalists and were smart enough to know that the world wasn’t literally created in 6 days 6 thousand years ago.
I also don’t view God as a man with a beard, just as a personification of nature/natural order/antithesis of entropy/whatever.
Either way you can’t prove/disprove with 100% certitude the existence of God (let alone settle on a definition of what the god that you are even trying to prove exists or not is exactly) but you can definitely 100% prove the world is flat. So I think your comparison is apples and oranges.
Side question - no interest in researching it myself, but does anyone know what flat earthers think is on the other other side of the earth? Like what’s faceling the other direction? Just a bottom layer or rock? Turtles all the way down?
