    I don't think man could possibly know the Creator or the plan. That is way above our pay grade. Knowing that there is a creator and that the plan is ever changing, that is a different thing.

    As for as religions, I see them as all cults. Used to keep the masses in line and propagate group think. Once they have too many roaming free, another religion comes along to herd them back in.
    All of the books are written and published by man. Do you not think they are written for the benefactors and future generation of the writers? The rest are dupes.

    I am more leaning to the simulation theory. Our realm is too perfect in a sense.

    Now for flat earth. I do not know how far you have delved into the questions presented.

    Shape, who knows.

    The sun and moon are much closer and much smaller.

    Flight maps displayed over the currently used F.E. map run in nice straight lines.
    These also line up with emergency landings that have been made that made no sense in the globe flight path.

    We see to far. With long range digital telescopes, we are seeing objects up to 20 -50 miles further away than we should. Depends on the air at the time.

    Water always maintains it's level.

    I spent years looking for a good argument against. It's not there.

    The worst part about it is the strawman personal attacks and sometimes outright hatred along with name calling. That only happens when you might be on target.

    I would say each of our versions change everyday on many things. Up until 2014, I still had some respect for the medical industry. Up until 2020, I had some respect for vaccines. Up until 2000, I had respect for the justice system. Until I was 3-4, I believed in Santa Claus.

    I submit that's because you lack faith, suggest you seek the Lord and pray.

    That can also be the result of coming across as loopy.

    I get input from The Source ALL the time. This input can come in the form of what I call 'course corrections', some of which I refer to as 'soft' and others 'hard'. I welcome the soft course corrections and I really, really don't care at all for the hard course corrections therefore I take pains to make sure I'm in harmony with the Lord's Plan (yes, this meaning praying and being still to listen).

    George Harrison wrote about what I call course corrections in his song This is Love:

    Little things that will
    Change you forever
    May appear from
    Way out of the blue
    Making fools of everybody
    Who don't understand



    The entire direction of my company was altered by someone sending a wrong pallet of material to a job by happenstance, as only one example. It was a VERY minor thing, seeming inconsequential to outside parties yet it caused me to completely change course for the next several years, it was a fairly major hard course correction, and extremely unpleasant. The reason it was somewhat painless, considering the extent of the damages, is that I treat my customers with Christian values and I had built up a LOT of slack (with party who took the brunt of the heat) over the course of years. What goes 'round comes 'round...do good and good things happen.

    If Jesus turns you off then may I suggest the Church of the Subgenius? Suggest you stick to the original Book of the Subgenius from 1980 and not deviate into anything else, for the past several years the Church of the Subgenius has been infiltrated by reprobates (mainly because it's so fucking cool, who doesn't want Slack?).
