The one thing that is not even a debate around flat earth is the amount of energy in the pushback. I've had a front row to social media outrage for going on 7 years now.

To what aim? I only have speculations, but it isn't because the false god of science got its feelings hurt. There's something else going on.

Love by it's nature isn't transactional, earnable or obtainable through coercion. Therefor it is literally impossible for the genie to grant such a request. On a theological & philosophical level, there is...
