being generous, i'll grant that you have discovered the earth isn't flat, and hasn't got four corners and a canopy slung on top.
but as a round-earther, sounds like you are one of those folks who looks at the north and south poles of this planet and concludes it must be all ice in between. no temperate zone.
that would make your viewpoint asian, i guess - polar ice asian to be precise. and there i was guessing you must be an american treading lightly over the unbounded plains and numberless ecosystems of cyberspace.
as to belief in history, are you talking pre or post adam and eve? i kinda generally "believe" the past occurred and that at some point folks started writing things down. i didn't know it was controversial.
i sure believe that herodotos travelled the ancient world and thucidydes recorded the peleponnesian war. what about you?
or are you talking about history as a manichean struggle between good and evil?
if so, that's sweet. very bronze age of you!
how awful those canaanites and amelakites and amorites and midianites and moabites and elamites and aians and ogians and lakshishians and jerichoans were!! how righteous that the sword of the lord smote them and killed them and their children! how they deserved their fate!
but i'm struggling with more recent history.
during the nike riots in constantinople, which colour - blue or green - do you think was better?
who were the goodies during the investiture controversy?
what do you make of the preservation of ancient western literature, philosophy and science within islam and its destruction by christians?
what do you make of the fact that the usa required a civil war to end slavery when most everyone else managed it through a parliamentary process?
at any rate, at least we can agree on something. thank goodness for all of us that stalin defeated hitler.
