1. What is the definition of Flat Earth Theory?
2. How did you learn about it? Or did you come to this knowledge by your own research and reasoning?
3. How might you convince an open minded individual who does not yet believe in Flat Earth Theory?
4. Have you ever tried to teach someone but failed? Have you ever tried to teach someone and succeeded?
5. Why do you think you failed or succeeded?
6. Why do you think Flat Earth Theory is the minority belief as opposed to the assumption that the earth is round? Why isn't this being taught in schools?
7. Do you think a day will come when Flat Earth Theory does indeed become widely accepted/will be taught in schools, or do you think the mainstream belief that the earth is round will continue?
8. Would you personally be satisfied with a compromise in the classroom, with both Flat Earth and Round Earth ideas being presented to the students?
9. Has your non-mainstream worldview affected your life in a positive or negative way?
10. Are people generally open-minded towards you or do people usually react negatively to your non-mainstream ideas? Do you choose to tell other people at all? (Other than over the internet).
Ok, its my day off and I'll give this a go.
Caveat, I'm a Christian FEer and my views don't necessarily reflect all the views of the society.
1. That the earth is flat and motionless, heaven is above us and hell is beneath. There is also a firmament.
2. While researching Antartica and quite by accident I stumbled across it.
3. I would encourage them to research it for themselves, there's more than enough info out there.
4. I have never succeeded convincing anyone but I have got people looking at it.
5. This knowledge is simply too much for most people, I was already geocentric so I was half way there.
6. People (even Christians) have been blinded to truth, we are not just wrestling with flesh and blood.
7. I dont believe so, I'm Amilennial, and this darkness will continue until the return of Christ in glory.
8. Creation theory never gets a fair hearing and either will Flat Earth, (devils gotta get em young)
9. Its been negative, I have lost my church, it has placed some stress on my marriage.
10. I tell everyone, nobody seems bothered by it, they probably just think I'm nuts.
Again, I am coming from a Christian Perspective here.
This will definately not be representative of the majority of FEers on this site.
I am in the minority, but yeah, thats how I roll.
Thanks, that was kind of fun
