Does anyone have a fondness for flat-earth/biblical cosmology. I don't believe the Earth is flat despite being a "conspiracy" guy but there is something charming about it. In the Odyssey the underworld is located at the edge of the world, and in Gilgamesh too there are much mysterious things there such as a massive underground cavern and the Mesopotamian "Noah." The idea that the Earth is a disc is a spit in the face to modern "physics" and an assertion of the magical, if the traditional laws of gravity are null than so too is the denial of the occult, it is the realm of the gods and magic. I often use this motif in my own writing, even if just as an euphemism. The modern view of existence as an
infinite" realm has it's own pros, however in the infinite paradoxically God is lost. We can run from God, but not in the realm of the flat Earth in which the world is his "terrarium." I also like how writers like McCarthy use the word "firmament" and other Biblical words, it takes a non-magical setting, such as the modern or western world, and sets it against an astral backdrop, though it is modern it takes place in the same realm where Noah's ark was built and Moses parted the red sea. It is almost as if asserting it is apart of some metaphysical tradition, and not a sterile modern rejection of the past beliefs, yet not staying locked into the past but continuing this belief into the future. Thoughts?

The Bible has nothing to do with flat earth cosmology, anon.

I believe that Astrology is bullshit, but was also always fascinated about inventing a society where Astrology is either real, or so persuasive and deep grained among their mentality that people syncronize their skills and personality to their assigned zodiac sign out of self convition

I USED TO BELIEVE THAT THE EARTH IS FLAT, BUT MY TEACHER TOLD US IN SCHOOL THAT IT WAS A SPHERE, AND «BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY» TOLD ME THAT IT WAS «A BALL» SPINNING WITH «OTHER BALLS» AROUND A «BIGGER BALL», AND I SAW PHOTOREALISTIC COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGES OF OUR PLANET, SO I KNOW BETTER NOW; MY HERO ELON MUSK WILL TAKE US TO MARS, SO THAT CONFIRMS THAT EARTH IS NOT FLAT.

THE FACT THAT THEOLOGY, AND PHILOSOPHY, PERPETUATED THE FLAT EARTH MYTH FOR MILLENNIA IS PROOF BY ITSELF THAT RELIGION IS NOTHING BUT INSTITUTIONALIZED IGNORANCE, AND PHILOSOPHERS TOTALITARIAN SYSTEM PLANTS; IT TOOK SCIENCE ALL THIS TIME TO FINALLY CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE TO TRY AND EXPLAIN THEM, BUT THE WORK IS NOT OVER, SINCE PROGRESS NEVER ENDS.

TO THE STARS...

Not really. God *is* the infinite.

The Earth is neither flat, nor spherical, but something between these extremes, much like the truth is; the Earth is actually one of the only "outer spaces".

Jewish pseudoscience is a direct reflection of the expansionistic, colonialistic, exploitative herder lifestyle that is typical to the Turanian ancestors of Jews, and which has been insidiously refined worldwide via Zionism; the fascination that most individuals have with Jewish pseudoscience is one of subjective wonder at the magnitude of the universe, which, due to their nescience, is perpetually caricatured through the physicalistic farce of "outer space", them not realizing that the relatively outer world is akin to, an extension of, and can be recognized via, the soul/inner world; it can make for good fantasy/science fiction though.

Our Church has accepted the globe for centuries. You are a cretin who insults us with your pride and nonsense. Everything about you is repulsive, you claim to be of our Church yet you are indistinguishable from the average desperate troll. Your need to stand out is monstrous, you have the personality of a faggot
