The Whole Flat Earth Thing

So, I've been on this website for about an hour, and I've just been lurking around reading. And i'm not gonna lie, Since the first thread I've read, My jaw just hit the floor and remained there. I mean seriously, some of the things i've read here are just absurd. Things like: "Space Flight is imppossible." or "Pictures from space are photoshopped." And other crazy things like that. Some of these things you guys are saying are just plain crazy and illogical. The Earth is flat? And is constantly moving upwards or something screwy like that.
     And this leads me to my question... Is this forum serious? It just can't be, I mean I can't all the proof you guys are denying and calling fake isn't convincing you. So, like I said, is this forum for real? Are there really people who believe the Earth is flat? Or are you just pullin' my leg? 
   

This website is for real. Please read the FAQ.

Stop lying to him Jack. Yes, Anonymous112, this entire site was made for the one purpose of pullin' your leg.

That's pretty mean, why would Jack lie to me?


In all seriousness though, I have one question. You "FE'ers" believe that NASA is the heart of the conspiracy and is lying to us. Why exactly would NASA lie to the entire planet, Why would they waste millions of dollars and use up so much of their time just to fool everyone? I doubt it's just for the laughs. What do they have to gain? Or to lose? Somebody please explain, preferably a true Flat Earth "believer".

Please read the FAQ, the truth is in it.

I'm new to this forum, and I was wondering: Why do you cling to the belief that the Earth is flat. Are you afraid of space and the nature of the universe? Are you stupified by the vastness of the Universe? Are you to self-focused to acknowledge you're mere nothingness in the grand scheme of things? Explain, what of the the Sun, the moon, the stars? What of the amazing images from the Hubble telescope? Let me guess, you also debate the existence of the atom and sub-atomic particles. You debate peoples seeing a curved Earth while on a plane as their senses deceiving them, yet your personal beliefs are probably hinged on the fact that the horizon is flat.  And plese don't respond to me by telling me to read other texts. Just give me a concise, to-the-facts response. Also, if the earth isn't round, why do you depict the earth as an ecliptical shape. Thats round, isn't it?

No, we just haven't seen any proof of a geoid earth.

Wrong. Daniel is definitely a sincere FE, and so is Tom Bishop. There are probably a handful of others. Remeber the last FES had like 3000 members.

As am I. It was just a dig at these noobs that are so arrogant that they assume the whole society was created for the single purpose of annoying them and them alone.

actually the FAQ says something like they dont know why there is a conspiracy, probably for money.  so the truth is not in the FAQ.

The FES has not convinced me of the FET. But it has instilled in a hatred for the arrogant noobs that make up a huge piece of the Internet community
