And here we are in the year 2018 and we still have people believing that the Earth is flat. The problem with these people, just as with the geocentrists before them, is that they deny the evidence proving them wrong when it is given to them.

I must admit, flat earth belief is incredibly bad since simply walking to a shore line can reveal the curved horizon. I am not sure banning them would be true to how we operate here. Given a capitalist approach, I would think allowing the posts, but seeing that no comments/attention given to them would be more apt?

As it stands, even early Christians new the earth to be a spherical object. Benedictus Arias Montanus translation, printed in 1528, used ‘globus’ for Isaiah 40:22. Oh, and you can also remind flat earthers of Job 26:7, that God “hangs the earth on nothing” instead of physical pillars.

But early Christian beliefs haven’t stopped Preterism. The Bible even recounts the first preterists as heretics - yet they exist on today (2 Timothy 2:17–18). I doubt it will stop flat earthers.
