Hi,
I am a new user and new to flat earth theory. I am completely open to the science and arguments put forth for a flat earth, but I simply cannot find a way to combine my spirituality with the flat earth theory as of yet. My biggest problems come when I try and combine the flat earth theory with the terra papers, or with the cave paintings of the dogon people.  How does spirituality and the flat earth theory go together?

How does spirituality and the flat earth theory go together?

Flat Earthers tend to reject a lot of what the new age movement offers.
The Heliocentric view looks for a hidden god in everything, God is obvious on a Flat Earth.

Most FE's are agnostics and some unite their former religious convictions to it.
For myself, I am a Christian, and FET has a history of Christian Believers as well.

Some might call Eric Dubay a New Ager (or esoteric) but Eric tends to reject all religions in favour of transcendental meditation so he would probably mock anyone who Holds any form of belief without direct revelation (mysticism)

Anyway, welcome to the forum

Welcome to the FES!

As for your question, it's quite easy to connect religion/spirituality to the FE model, and a lot of people believe in flat earth because of biblical evidence and whatnot. The wiki has more info on it, I suggest you check it out.

I appreciate/respect the response and your belief that the fe model can be fit into religion/spirituality but it is in stark contrast to what the dogon people have written in their caves as well as a Native American story called the terra papers. Not only that but what about the story of  Atlantis, lemuria, or even the twelve books written by Zechariah sitchin, not to mention sacred geometry, numerology, horoscopes, just to name some. In the documentaries and things I have read they are either glossed over by simply saying there is a dome and a projection or not talked about. I believe in order for the FE theory to gain more traction it has to answer these questions. How does the FE theory answer these Native American stories as well as the research done by Zechariah?

Honestly your beliefs are probably just wrong.

what about the story of  Atlantis, lemuria, or even the twelve books written by Zechariah sitchin, not to mention sacred geometry, numerology, horoscopes, just to name some... I believe in order for the FE theory to gain more traction it has to answer these questions.

RE doesn't answer any of these questions, but nevertheless has plenty of traction...

The "heliocentric view" doesn't "look" for or try to explain anything.  It is the conclusion that was drawn based on observed facts.

If this contradicts the bible of your religion, then the obvious conclusion is that your religious beliefs are wrong.

In my opinion the flat earth idea itself is a religious way of thinking at least. I mean, look zero evidence, no experimental data, even sometimes no logic. But people still believe in it.
So flat earthers in my opinion are all religious. It's not science nothing you can test. A pure belief.

That's how I view the round Earth idea, a silly notion on the face of it that is strongly reinforced by years of indoctrination to the extent that those who refuse to adhere to it are considered the ones who are crazy.

[neutrino]

Nope. Not at all.
Look, I'm an amateur astronomer. The spinning globe is just as a 2+2=4 rule for a mathematician. My motorized mount of my telescope rotates to compensate Earth rotation. The planets are spherical. Youcan see this in a telescope. ISS is visible in a telescope in great detail. Earth shadow cast on the moon is round. These are just a few things. There is no indoctrination and I don't rely on images from NASA. These things are just simply visible to anyone. Come and I'll show you.

Have you ever heard about the Porcoddio? thats is thougt to be an ancient divinity that ruled (and might be still ruling) over the flat wolrd of which even numerous tribes brought their witnesses... This religion seems to be one of the few that still brings forth the convinction that Earth is actually flat. check about "Porcodism"
