Some FE's believe it to be flat, some believe it to be round. Personally I see no reason why the sun couldn't be round.

If the sun is round, why isnt Earth

what provides the spotlight? wouldn't that require some actual mechanism outside of one  giant nuclear reaction?

Quite possibly. However, the exact mechanism isn't yet understood.

why would you deliberately choose to follow a "theory" (using the term loosely) that has so many holes? just because another theory is not 100% provable (or a law... even though it is provable) does not mean that any old theory or hypothesis must be considered just as valid

This is just personal opinion on your part. Since the FE's obviously feel the theory has no more "holes" than the RE does.

how convenient that the "holes" in the RE theory are explained away by FEers because "witch doctor science" which is really fake and not applicable towards predicting the behavior of things

I'll just re-post this directly from the FAQ, since onbviously the only reason one or the other would be round in the first place is due to gravity.

Q: How is it that the Earth does not have a gravitational pull, but stars and the moon do?

A: This argument is a non sequitur. You might as well ask, "How is it that snakes do not have legs, but dogs and cats do?" Snakes are not dogs or cats. The Earth is not a star or the moon. It doesn't follow that each must have exactly the properties of the others, and no more.

The FAQ doesn't answer that question. It just says some nonsense about 2 biological entities sharing different traits.

Because, we don't like to repeat ourselves.  Because, we don't like to repeat ourselves.  Because, we don't like to repeat ourselves.  Because, we don't like to repeat ourselves.  Because, we don't like to repeat ourselves.

Ok?

gravitational laws are dictated by mass, not the classification of the object itself (sun vs. planet vs. moon vs. comet, etc)

The earth is an astronomical anomaly

An anomaly is an occurance that is still possibl despite being unlikely. A planet forming as a flat shape in space is impossible.
