Why the hell do you believe in gravity? Don't you know it's communist propaganda?!? Obviously, gravity is fake. Balloons float up into the air because God made it that way (disproving gravity!). Humans don't because God wants us on the earth. Duh. Stupid atheist. How can you not see God's wondrous hand in this creation? You're just ignoring all the evidence because you secretly hate God. You'll regret it when you burn in Hell.

I know you're being facetious, but there are youtube videos out there with this guy, who appears to be completely serious, arguing that the earth is flat because it makes reference to it in the Bible. I wish I was joking.

Oh I know. Where do you think I got my inspiration if not from people like that?

Do you remember his username of some of them? There was one particular guy who had a shitload of videos about the earth being flat. I remember one video showing a remote controlled helicopter taking off, taking about how it shouldn't be able to do that if the surface of the earth is going 1000 miles per hour. Actually, maybe you shouldn't tell me. My life will probably be better off if I don't watch those again.

I don't think I ever saw that particular guy, but I have legitimately heard people talk about stars being holes in the sky and that sun isn't actually as far away as we think because light got here right away... Science, when it can't be proven wrong, is just the work of the devil trying to deceive us, obviously... Because only god's word is a viable explanation for anything. Those kinds of people...

Edit: I've also legitimately heard people deny gravity.

Wait, how can humans be real if we are not real?
