What the Hell are We doing Here?

Why are we here? How did we get here? What is our purpose, if any? Is the earth round, flat, or pear-shaped . . . and what difference does it make? Questions we all think about at some point. I have always questioned things that didn't make sense. In pursuit of answers I've only been met with more questions. It seems there are no clear answers, only theories, opinions and conjecture. There is a multitude of conspiracy theories alluding to lies and cover-ups about the true nature of our reality. Trying to sift through all the information and sort out what is science and what is fiction will leave your head spinning faster than this purported spinning ball we live on.

Does life have to have meaning . . . Isn't it enough just being alive? It should be, but as I go through my daily routine at some point during the day the question always pops into my head. Like when I'm doing dishes, or cleaning the toilet, I'll think how mundane and monotonous it all seems. I can't fathom that we were created and put here just to perform daily chores . . . although these things are necessary do they define who we are?

I try to find meaning in the everydayness. Life doesn't make any sense though. You're born . . . you do stuff in between . . . and then you die. So, does the stuff you do in between really matter? What is the point of wasting the first thirteen years of life sitting in classroom after classroom memorizing and regurgitating useless facts, then on to higher education to learn more BS, which is supposed to prepare you to live and work in society. You get a soul sucking job so you can afford a roof over your head, food in your stomach and a place to sleep, wake up tomorrow and do it all over again. That is not life, but unfortunately that is where a majority of humanity finds themselves. One day you wake up only to realize you're 65 and your whole life has passed you by. All you have to show for it is a stack of bills, a mortgage and a beater car sitting in the driveway. The kids have grown and moved out. Now you are faced with a lot of empty time to fill. What you thought was your purpose is over and you're left with Who am I? What do I do now?.... and all the other identity crisis questions.

I am sure I am not the only one dealing with these issues. It has been the topic of poets, theologians and philosophers alike. Volumes have been written throughout millennia with no two agreeing on the true nature of our reality. Even the Bible leaves you with far more questions than answers? Do we have to wait until we die to know why we we're here and what we we're supposed to accomplish? I should think then would be too late. Some say we come back again and again until we get it right. I think in that case it would be nice to arrive fore-armed with knowledge of who and why we're here.

The never ending quest continues . . .

Before the World Went Mad

I was lucky enough to have been born in the fifties and had the opportunity to experience what life was like before the world went completely mad.

It was an easy going, carefree time, even though we were still recovering from World War II, it was a time when kids could be kids. When home life and family values were still in fashion. If things were bad I wouldn't have known, I was too busy just being a kid.

But then came the turbulent sixties; peace, love, sex and drugs, which I point to as the time everything changed forever. Innocence was lost, the world no longer felt like the safe haven I grew up in. Each decade since has been worse than the one before. I am now in my sixties, and find my self longing for those days

Kids today have no reference point other than the present. They do not have those values instilled from an early age. They will grow up thinking and believing all of this is normal, being confused about whether they are male or female, not knowing where to go to the bathroom, or how to dress or act. When I grew up there was no doubt who was a man or who was a women. We knew who we were. Now, even I have a hard time identifying the gender of people I encounter on a daily basis. 

I'm not talking about homosexuality (that has always existed), I'm talking about the feminization of men and the masculinization of women. Where children are being raised to choose the sex they want to be. It is a deliberate agenda to make us a genderless society... It is being forced down our throats to accept this as normal. It is not normal, and frankly, it makes me sick and angry. It makes me angry because I have grandchildren and will soon have great-grandchildren that will never know the difference between right or wrong. They will grow up thinking all of this is acceptable, normal behavior. I can't even imagine what the world will be like when all of this comes to fruition. I'm glad I won't be here to see it, but sad that there will be no one left that knows what it was like before the world went completely mad.

Man or Monkey

Another idea that I find totally absurd is the "Big Bang Theory". The notion that everything came from nothing...that something exploded and everything came into being...and they call Christians stupid for believing in an intelligent creator. I much prefer to think I had a loving creator than believe I somehow evolved over time from a monkey. 

I have yet to see something explode and create anything but devastation. I have never seen a pile of anything develop into a complicated piece of machinery with intelligent design. Anyone would agree that a beautiful skyscraper requires engineers, architects, and skilled laborers working for months or years, and yet we're expected to believe that the most complicated piece of machinery that exists (the human being) required no creator at all... not to mention all the variations of animals, flowers, trees and birds.

I have not seen or heard of any new species of animal. Nor have I heard of a human being evolving from a monkey or anything else. There are still monkeys and they are not anymore evolved than they were. And yet people still cling to that belief, vehemently defending it while calling anyone who doesn't agree with them "Stupid". I'm sorry, but that theory requires that you throw out all common sense...it's more of a fairy tale than the Creation account.

They are teaching this to our children in schools as absolute fact. Forcing them to accept it whether they agree with it or not. Some kids have been taught and believe in the Bible's version of how we got here. They are not even allowed to mention Creation as an alternative viewpoint.

Why would it be so hard to imagine that they have done the same thing with knowledge of the earth's shape? They do it with everything else. They've taken prayer out of schools and any public events. You can't mention, God, Christ or Christmas. Does anyone see a pattern here?

What are they trying to hide or promote, and why? If God isn't real, why is it such a threat to them? What would it matter what we believe? It seems to me that they know God is real, otherwise why would they try so hard to keep people from knowing about Him or believing in Him?

I would much rather believe in God, than put my faith in a Scientific theory for which they have absolutely no proof. What does one gain from believing in evolution or a big bang. I know what I gain from believing in God . . . Eternal Life!

God Said it and That's Good Enough for Me

Does God care about the shape of the earth, whether it's flat, round or pear shaped? I think he does. It's his creation. Does he want us to know what the truth is about this earth he created especially for us? All I can say is, the very first chapter in the very first book of the Bible, Genesis, is devoted to this very topic. "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth" and then it goes on to describe it in vivid detail. So, yes, I think he does want us to know. If we've been being lied to about God's creation, I think we should try to find out just what the truth about it is.

Satan is the father of the lie. That's what he does...he lies about everything God says and turns it backwards. Why would what God says about his earth be any different? Why do people find it so hard to believe that they may have been lied to about this? Why is it so hard to believe that the earth we live on may indeed be flat and not spherical? I think it will be the same way with evolution in a few years. People who grew up only knowing evolution as an explanation of how we got here, will find out one day that they've been deceived their whole lives and will try to cling to their monkey ancestors rather than listen to any logic presented.

God created the earth and everything in it for our home and placed us in it. I think he should know more than anyone what the shape of it is and about it's placement in the heavens and the placement of the Sun, Moon and stars, and their function.

I would take God's word before I would take the word of Scientists or Evolutionists. They would do or say anything to discredit God or the idea of a Creator. They want to take people's minds away from God. They are always trying to disprove Creation.

It's important, because, I think if people found out the truth, that they live on a flat, enclosed (dome, firmament) earth, that is "geocentric" and not "heliocentric" therefore making it the center of God's creation and not just one of billions of Planets and Universes, they would realize, that there is a God, that we were created, that the Bible is true, and Satan, the world, scientists, governments, Nasa, etc are liars. So there's a lot a stake for them. They have a lot vested in this lie and will do anything to keep it from our discovery.

They've done a pretty good job of it so far, but people are starting to wake up and see beyond the lies, and question things that don't make sense.

*But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. (Hebrews 1:2)
*Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. (2 Peter 3:3)
*Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies. (Exodus 5:9)
*Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (1 John 4:1)

My thought process on this is, it certainly can't hurt to look into the matter. What do we have to lose . . . do we have anything vested in the globe except maybe our pride? I for one want to know!

All this I tested by wisdom and I said, “I am determined to be wise —but this was beyond me." (Ecclesiastes 7:23)

Flat Earth Proves Creation

There are so many components to "Flat earth". I know I've been on this topic for a while now, but I think it's important to know if we have been walking around for the past 1500 years under the impression that we live on a sphere, that we revolve around the sun, believing it to be the center of the Universe and that the sun is supposedly 93 million miles away. Wouldn't you want to know if that were not the case...that we have in fact been lied to all of our lives and the complete opposite is true? What do your own senses tell you? Not what you have been taught and brainwashed to believe, but what your own common sense dictates. When I look up at the sun it seems so close. I think, How could it possibly be 93 million miles away? Just how big would it have to be for us to see it as large as it appears down here? Truth is, it actually is the size it appears and is probably around 3,000 miles from earth. The moon also is the size and distance it appears to be. The earth is the center of the so called "Universe" and the sun and moon revolve around us. The moon gives off its own light, not reflected light from the sun. Experiments have proven that the moon's light is a cold light, not hot like the sun.

It is exactly as stated in Genesis, in the Bible's account of Creation, which says, and I'm paraphrasing:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void. God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light...and God divided the light from the darkness.  God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.  God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,  and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. I also see no reference to planets in this account (does not mean God did not create them) just saying.

Other places in the Bible where the earth is referred to as fixed, Immoveable and stretched out (flat) This is but a few, there are more:

*Job 37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. *(Speaks of the ends of the earth, a round globe doesn't have ends.)
*Job 37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? *(Speaks of the sky, firmament as being hard perhaps like a dome).
*Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? *(Again the ends of the earth are referred to.)
*Job 28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; *(Ends of the earth ...a globe has no ends.)
*1 Samuel 2:8: For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, And He set the world on them.  *(speaks of the earth being on pillars)
*1 Chronicles 16:30: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable." *(Firm and immovable)
*Joshua 10:13: And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. *(This is one of my favorites, because it states the sun (and moon) stood still, inferring that it is the sun that revolves around the earth, not the other way around.)
*Proverbs 8: 27 When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep. *(Inscribed or etched a circle not a sphere . . . the writers knew the difference of both words.)
*Proverbs 8:29: When He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;
*Psalm 93:1: "Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm"
*Psalm 96:10: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable"
*Psalm 104:5: "Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken."
*Psalm 136:6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy(Stretched out, as in flat . . . how do you stretch out a globe?)
*Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
*Isaiah 45:18: "...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast"
*Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth... *(Four corners...a globe does not have corners).

Of course, if you don't believe in God or the Bible, then these scriptures would mean little or nothing to you. However, if in fact it turns out that the earth really is flat, that in and of itself would prove the Bible to be true and in turn confirm the existence of a Creator God.

In summation the Bible states that the earth is fixed and immoveable, stretched out as in flat, a circle, as in flat not spherical, having four corners and that he placed the sun, moon and stars in the firmament and determined their paths. It does not say anything about a sphere, planets or outer space. It really puts things in perspective. It places us at the center of creation and makes us not some random accident.

Oh My God, We're Going to Fall Off!

You live on this.

Really?         

The first thing scoffers always ask is, Aren't you afraid you're gonna fall off? Really? So, they find it easier to believe that we would fall off a flat, stationary surface rather than a spinning ball? Which sounds more logical to you? It's very hard to find a flat plane on a round object. Every part of a sphere is curved . . . and half the world at any given time is upside down on the other side of this spinning ball, and you're worried about falling off of a flat plane?

Gravity is supposed to explain everything illogical about the globe. It explains why we don't fall off, why vast bodies of water wrap around and cling to the earth as it spins. They even claim gravity makes the atmosphere stick to the earth as it spins. It's like the "magic bullet"

If the earth is flat, there's no need for this mythical gravity. Everything naturally stays put due to mass and weight. We're heavier than air.

Another term I've heard used instead of gravity is "Herphloglafil" (an attractive force between objects with mass). Where do they come up with this stuff?

I also find it odd or suspect that all the supposed celestial bodies e.g., earth, and the other planets are so perfectly round. I would think they would be jagged, irregular shaped masses. How did they get so smooth and round. There's no friction in space. Hmmm! Just a thought.

Why so Angry

What is it about Flat Earth, that causes otherwise reasonable people to turn into an angry mob... and believe me, people really do get angry. Try it for yourself sometime when you're sitting around the campfire with friends. Light-heartedly sneak it into the conversation. It won't be long before it turns into a heated debate. I don't know why it makes people so mad...it's like they have a vested interest in the "Globe" or something.

I also do not think the idea of a flat earth is anymore ludicrous than thinking we live on a hot, spinning ball hurling through space at an incredible 67,000 miles per hour, while at the same time rotating on its "axis" at approximately 1,000 miles per hour. I get dizzy just walking around my kitchen table...lol. If my equilibrium is the slightest bit off, I get so dizzy I can hardly walk...yet I'm supposed to believe that I am traveling on an orb, at super sonic speeds (at times upside down), and I don't feel a thing? Now that's what I call ludicrous.

Conspiracy or Lunacy

Being a so called "conspiracy theorist" is a lonely life. There is no one you can talk to about all the things you are discovering. I more or less feel like the relative that everyone rolls their eyes and shakes their head at like they're crazy. I don't like being placated. I don't want people acting like I'm crazy just because I dare to see beyond the surface and am willing to examine the possibility that things aren't always what we're told or what they seem.

Most people prefer to keep their head in the sand and go about their daily lives believing the "American Dream" and trusting in politicians thinking they are good ole boys who just have our best interest at heart. Please!

The conspiracies that exist are not unrelated, separate incidences. Just like the stories in the Bible are not isolated stories, but one continuous story with one theme from beginning to end. They all tie in with each other and go back thousands of years. It's almost impossible not to see the correlation between what is going on in our world and what the Bible prophesied, because that is where the conspiracies got their start. Their roots can be traced back to the rebellion in the Garden of Eden when Satan challenged God's authority and that is what it's still about to this day. Most people just can't see it because God has blinded the eyes of the unbelievers. John 12:40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts . . .

I don't think we can remain oblivious to the things going on around us anymore. Once you become aware of things it's pretty hard not to see them for what they are. The world we live in and most of the people in it are just plain evil. The people who run the world have lorded it over the masses for thousands of years, keeping us in slavery.

 
It starts at a very young age with our children. They've taken prayer out of schools and God out of everything. They teach evolution and the Big bang theory. Poison their minds and their bodies with GMOs, preservatives, antibiotics, vaccinations, fluoride and much more. They're bombarded with violence and sexual images on a daily basis, till they become indifferent and accept these things as normal.

It's like the Bible says about calling evil good, and good evil. Look around...Isn't everything that was once considered evil or sinful now the accepted norm and everything that was once decent and good, frowned upon and put down? We're made to feel small and stupid for believing in morals and principals.

We live in a time where we can no longer be complacent. We all have to make a decision on where we stand. James 4:4 states that friendship with the world is enmity with God . . . and whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. There is no neutral position, no middle of the road attitude. It's either one side or the other. Revelation 3:16 says "Because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot I will vomit you out of my mouth."

This is not our battle to fight with weapons of warfare, but it's a spiritual battle. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly place.

Conspiracies are just one aspect of the whole, which is that we are living in perilous times spoken of in the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:1 Know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. But we are not without hope. For in Luke 21:28 it says when these things begin to happen, look up and lift your heads because your redemption draws near.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57
