I've noticed that there are quite a few who've only joined in the past 3 months or so. It makes me think that it's less "newbies" and more "a concerted effort to divide/distract the forum". The way they try to throw the Bible in there is suspect, as well. Like they think because there are a lot of Christians on this board that they will immediately buy into the flat earth concept because "Bible tells them so".
Some of this stuff is downright painful to read. It wouldn't surprise me if they start babbling on about the Giant Dung Beetle that pushes the Sun from horizon to horizon every day.
Oh true, but both flat earthers I knew irl were also extremely pushy with Christianity stuff to the point of calling someone a blasphemer for not "saying a Bible verse that disproves flat earth theory" when they half assed their own Bible verses' connection to flat earth.
It's likely that they are genuine then too, given that's just how they actually think God wants them to spread his good word. But it's just as likely that it's shills trying to turn people away from Christianity by making it appear to be some group of accusatory judgemental flat earthers and not peaceloving forgivers.

You're a wise one, Granny.
