    sarcasm The moon landing was a hoax. The earth is flat, and it's turtles all the way down. Anyone who sails or flies off the edge of the flat earth is lost forever! Avoid those newfangled aereoplanes like the plague! And, be careful where you send your kids to school. They actually want us to believe that the earth revolves around the sun, when any idiot can look up to see the sun revolves around the flat earth! /sarcasm

    If its flat, how does the sun revolve around it? I mean, where does it go when it sets?

      Go back to high school, and slap your teachers for failing to educate you.

      https://www.britannica.com/topic/Helios-Greek-god [britannica.com]

      Helios, (Greek: “Sun”) in Greek religion, the sun god, sometimes called a Titan. He drove a chariot daily from east to west across the sky and sailed around the northerly stream of Ocean each night in a huge cup.

      Other myths and legends exist, you might want to explore some of them. I think among them, the sun returned to the east via the underworld, or, the land of the dead.

    Runaway, like janrinok, also cannot do sarcasm, since it is nearly indistinguishable from his normal ranting! Makes me wonder, are they the same person? But then it begs the question of whether janrinok is Runaway1956's sockpuppet, or is it the other way around? Or are they both like rolled up inside of each other like a Klein bottle sock orgy? Eww, sorry for that image. But inquiring minds want to know!

    The earth is flat, and it's turtles all the way down.

    But a turtle's back isn't flat! I'm confused - Oh, wait, $DEITY did it, problem solved.

        Yeah, like that would solve the metaphysical problem of the "not falling down" into the posited absolute abyss of Stoacism! It is a rather large theoretical gap, requiring large entities, like massive Elephants, or even larger Tortorises. Geometry of said beings is the least of your problems. Not to mention, Runaway1956 is an ignorant moron, and it is illegal under Arkansas law for him to even mention theories like this.

      Behind most every groomer is a religious upbringing shaming sexuality. Don't even get me started on the institutionalized grooming by the mormons, jehovah witnesses, and other wacko cults.
