A Former Atheist Leader Now Runs a Crazy Flat Earth-Promoting Website

Do you want to check it out? Of course you do. (Be warned: The site is the modern day Time Cube.)

http://yhwhsflatearth.com/

The site redirects to one with the URL “JesusWasNotAJew.org” and includes this statement:

The earth is flat and no matter how you try to argue against it, mathematics, trigonometry and physics proves the globe theory is wrong. We challenge any atheist group in the country or so-called religious believers of the globe theory to prove that the earth is a globe.

Umm… the “globe theory” was proven thousands of years ago.

I thought the site was a joke. But I also said that about Donald Trump. So who knows…

But it was easy to go a step further. The site makes frequent reference to a “Pastor Ernest” and includes his email and phone number. (Domain registration information confirms all that.) If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Ernest Perce V was the former Pennsylvania State Director of American Atheists and anti-Muslim bigot who later converted to Christianity.

(Also he's a Holocaust denier)

1. I'm starting to get the sense

with all these weird right-wing and extremist conservative groups across the globe, we are dealing with a pervasive form of world-wide brain-washing.

Even the conservatives around me in my everyday life seem completely deluded and impervious to contrary views and closed to amending their ideas. It's like they are stuck.

2. Not everyone who rejects traditional organized religion is a genius.

Some just move on to homeopathy or Xenu, etc.
