I find this quite ironic considering we're talking about the bible.

Sadly not.

Huge amount of references in the bible to "the four corners of the earth", "the edges of the earth", the earth being set on pillars, references to "across the earth" rather than round the earth, references to the Sun effectively orbiting the earth, the earth can never move, etc.

A compass maybe? Plenty of references to it being a circle? Suggesting a sphere.


You're projecting again.

Suggesting a flat circle at best if you read it.

It was common belief (or perhaps the only belief) around the time of the writing of the books of the bible that the world was flat and that the sun, moon and stars revolved around the earth.

There is nothing given supposedly through the Word of God that suggests otherwise.

The idea of a spherical earth dates from Ancient Greece. They'd even calculated the circumference of the globe by knowing the distance between Greece and Egypt and the different heights of the sun at noon. Pretty obvious if you're clever enough.

Copernicus's ideas came much later, but don't seem to have stopped us using terms like sunrise.

This cake row is certainly getting a bit stale and crusty.

Since we still haven’t got same sex marriage, isn’t it time Gareth stopped picking on an inconsequential bakery and took an action against the real culprit, the state itself, which is just as guilty as Asher’s is, denying him his apparent rights?

Its almost like the whole thing was a publicity stunt....

You're right, it's dragged on too long. It's almost like they should have just baked the cake in the first place...

Why should they compromise their religious beliefs?

Would a muslim bakery be expected to or held up to the same scrutiny if they didnt?

All just a bit too coincidental that a known gay activist just "happens" to ask a bakery with known strict religious convictions to bake that particular cake.
