This is not a joke. This is genuinely what a significant number of flat earthers believe.
Flat earthers don’t believe in a flat earth. What they actually believe is that Satan is fighting a war for the minds of people, and education is a tool of satan to lead you away from god. All other nonsense they spew stems from that— they don’t believe the earth is flat because evidence shows it, they find evidence to support the earth being flat because the education system, which they believe to be from Satan, tells you it’s spherical.
And most (but not all) flat earthers have moved on to the next conspiracy that supports their central belief (Satan is fighting a war for your mind) and don’t care much about flat earth anymore. Flat earth was never the point, not being swayed by Satan is always the center.
Also, they believe the earth is flat because the Bible says so; and the earth is young because the Bible says so, and that science is the devil’s work because it contradicts a book written by Bronze Age goat herders retconned by a guy in the Iron Age that got killed for telling the Roman’s he was king of the Jews.
This is one of my favorite summaries of just how ridiculous religion can become. Only thing I want to find a way to add would be a condemnation of monotheism. Seems that had a whole lot to do with how the concept of religion has become so corruptible. Instead of the point being the betterment of your own tribe it becomes about how every other tribe is less than you.
