The thing is that I know for sure that not a single mod has been deleting your posts here lately - it can be checked in the logs, every time a post has been deleted it can be read there.

And there are too few mods here to actually have the will, time and energy to spend any additional time deleting, editing posts from posters they might consider offending - we either post a public warning or a private warning, or close the thread if things escalate too much.

So really I'm sorry your posts have been lost, but I assure you it's not our fault - we're usually too busy battling the spammers.
Fair enough. Thanks for that.

No, I can't as I've not kept records and I have no way of knowing even who could, let alone would, delete my posts. Having said that, it is possible that I've mucked up the send post process on this site and thus lost my effort into the aether. It is very disappointing to have spent considerable time and effort on a reply only to find it vanished.

I know for certain that on other sites I have presented a serious challenge to the status quo and seen it posted and then vanish.

It is not beyond possibility that some hacker is censoring what is allowed, I suppose.


I learned through experience that this site will let you write a post without logging in but if you attempt to post it, it disappears because you aren't logged in. That is likely what happened. I've done it.

That's happened to me, too. It has nothing to do with what you wrote. It's a glitch in the system.

I'm more interested in the time travellers.

The creationist time travellers went back in time to 1,000,000 BC and found nothing, just darkness, then went back to 4,000 BC and there was the world and the stars, and of course, the dinosaurs and they filmed everything on camera. Creationist time travellers prove creationism true, one thing though, the government took their time machine and is locked up in Area 51, talking about persecution of christians, but the time travellers took pictures and they are online.


Well, I just got the basic story to start a movement, anyone wants to join?

Before I post a longer message I always select the text and ctrl-c (copy) so that if the forum eats my post, I can just ctrl-v (paste) and try again.

Earth is not flat it is round! Just like the moon is round just like the sun is round! Columbus has proven it and modern day NASA has proven it it is not flat neither is Earth only 6000 years old either!

It has to be some sort of quadrilateral. The bible mentions the four corners of the earth in revelations 20:8.

It's a legitimate question.

20:8 mentions the four quarters of the Earth. 7:1, on the other hand:

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the Earth, holding the four winds of the Earth, that the wind should not blow on the Earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Lots of the Bible is metaphor. Even people with great faith in Christianity would say that.

I see the verses you mentioned as metaphor.

The earth is a modified sphere.

You round earthers are all alike!
Spouting your indefensible ideologically based opinions!

Anyone who doesnt instantly 100 percent agree with me that the earth is flat (and agree with me on everything else) is either an egotistical doo doo head, or they're a dupe of the media conspiracy being run by egotistical doo doo heads!

Who made you the official interpreter of the bible that you get to decide what is metaphor and what is not?

I haven't decided anything, sir. I just expressed my opinion, which I'm entitled to.
