Well, c'mon, spheres are difficult to make ;)
I think I would respond to the "they are hiding God from us" by using a similar argument to the one atheist make: If God is indeed God (and yknow, all-knowing) and if God is good, after death we will still be rewarded because we were prevented from knowing him and he knows that; if on the other hand God would punish us for being prevented from knowing him, he is evil and we are all screwed, the people who hid him and the people from whom he was hidden alike.
I understand the appeal of conspiracy theory. We all want to feel special, and the idea that we are privy to some secret knowledge makes us feel special. But the flat-earth thing is just silly.
Hah. I usually take a tactic of something like "Well, you must not have very much faith in your god if you think he couldn't create a spinning ball flying through space, and that in all of his incredible power and mystery that you think his creation must make logical sense to you. Perhaps he's testing your faith, and you are denying his creation."
Lol. They are pretty insane.
i'd be happy on a ball earth if that is what it is.
but something inside me told me there was something wrong... something wasn't right about the path of the sun. i kept watching it. i also found i loved the truman show. but didn't know why it resonated with me.
then, after all my conspiracy research, the one i'd never touched, didn't want to touch, seemed to ridiculous... then i freaked. got ridiculed for talking about it, even asking... just like with you, but in real life.
guess it makes me stronger, better able to stand for what i see regardless of what others around me say. i always take the good from anything.
peace brother, you know i love this world. i'm fighting/loving it to be a better place.
God is all things, there is nothing that is not God.
therefor you are a part of God. you cannot not be, there is nothing else.
the angry God of the bible is a lie. you will not be punished, all punishment comes at your own hand here and now for what you do here and now. when you die you will return to the source, to the all that is.
you don't understand, it isn't a theory, i put it into practice. i trained myself to think different, and now i get different results... things that can't have been mere chance happen in my life all the time. but you wouldn't believe it, you'd just call me lucky. well it wasn't always this way for me.
