The belief in flat earth, and the belief in globe earth, and the belief in some other shape for the earth, are all religions. Why? Because they are known by belief (faith).
The faith that is right is the one that is proven by science and observation.

''There is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion.'' You could call anything a religion if you wanted but it kind of losses its meaning, doesn't it? Most people view religion as the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

Being a curious person isn't an easy thing. Being skeptical can't be done with a blink of an eye. Everything needs a process. So for those of you who already have a broad curiosity, you should feel lucky. In this case, although the earth is clearly round (that's what's in the school books), we can't just believe it out of nowhere. Sometimes questioning such things just keeps our sanity alive.
Problem is in this particular case that we have photographic evidence, tons of it and also video and even livestream evidence so it's quite clear that the earth is round, if you are at that degree of skepticism then you will think everything is fake.
I don't want to sound dismissive but this is one conspiracy I refuse to entertain. I think this is misinformation spread by the deep state to mislead and discredit people who are very open minded. It instantly makes any other views you hold invalid in the eyes on the masses.
Is the flat earth the truth or haox??
The theories of flat earth looks some what right of a kind but science disagrees it?
So what is the truth?

?I believe that that it just a hoax since no one and nobody has proven with valid evidence that the earth is flat. If that is so then why is there a sunset and a sunrise and how would the earth revolves around the sun? If it is true then there would be place or countries which is unreachable by sun light and I think that it is too impossible.
How would you fined that earth is flat,?I think is not important thing to know of them that earth is flat,because this is only theory based on science,,

Wouldn’t it be funny if the government put out the flat earth story so that people would lump it in with all of the other conspiracy theories and people would just disregard them all out of hand because the flat earth story is so dumb?! Haha
There are ton of really simple experiments to prove the earth isn't flat or that the sun or moon are far away. Very simple one explained here: https://youtu.be/hLPPE3_DVCw?t=4m15s
with 3 holes and the sunlight, although 2 holes could be explained by a flat earth and a close sun, using 3 holes and the shadows cast can only be explained by a far away sun and a spherical earth.

Or go to Ecuador and watch how water drains at the equator, north and south of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mRQBUyVnWo
Demonstration starts around 49 sec mark in the video above.
All the flat retards claim they only believe their own eyes, well, I hope they can spare few hundred bucks for the ticket to Ecuador.
PS. Someone should start Flat Earth Recovery Clinic/Travel Agency, LOL.
lol that is one of the oldest charlatan tricks in existence and shows your true foul character.
To everyone for free instant self test.
Take a bucket fill it with water.
Plug the sinkhole.
Fill the sink so it spins either clockwise or anticlockwise.
Wait until the water is quiet.
Now pull the plug.
It drains the direction you entered it.
Now do the same in the opposite direction.
And again it will drain the way you filled it.
Water has memory.

Shadows don't have memory, you are free the do the experiment and see by yourself.

I dont think so if the earth is flat. I think, its round because there is a differences about night in some country. So, if the earth is flat, there is no differences time.

Quackery is the promotion[1] of fraudulent or ignorant medical practices. A quack is a "fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill" or "a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, qualification or credentials he or she does not possess; a charlatan or snake oil salesman".[2] The term quack is a clipped form of the archaic term quacksalver, from Dutch: kwakzalver a "hawker of salve".[3] In the Middle Ages the term quack meant "shouting". The quacksalvers sold their wares on the market shouting in a loud voice.[4]
Common elements of general quackery include questionable diagnoses using questionable diagnostic tests, as well as untested or refuted treatments, especially for serious diseases such as cancer. Quackery is often described as "health fraud" with the salient characteristic of aggressive promotion.[1]

Should the the definition of quackery be expanded to include other branches of science the globe would be a shining example of such.
The theory of flat earth destroys all our ideas about science. If you believe such theories, you can go along the path of anti-vaccination and deny science as a whole.
Some flat earthers are mentally ill but most aren't. The flat earth conspiracy is no crazier than other retarded conspiracies that keep popping up everyday, ranging from celebrities that are still alive like michael jackson to illuminati, aliens visiting us and many more. Most of these people believe in them because they want to feel special, they are usually not very intelligent and they want to somehow feel smarter than everyone, calling people ''sheeple'' and all that.
It is interesting to study the reflexes and behavior of a person who thinks that the earth is flat.

Aluminum foil, curtain rods, sticky tape and BMX bicycle parts among other identifiable parts. Just fucking kill yourself.
Take a close look at how stupid you all are, zoom in you retarded farm animal.

Find an oven, turn on the gas, curl up inside and shut the door if you believe this.

so the govt invented the bmx bike in the late 60s....just so they could take parts from it to fake the moon landing...then kept it top secret for almost a decade until it leaked out for mass production in the mid to late 70s....ya, I think you nailed it here.....there is a term for what is occurring here (cant remember it)...when someone believes something outrageous simply for the sake of looking down on the rest of the people who aren't "smart enough" to figure it out...we seem to see more and more of it these days (i.e. flat earth) due to social media and nonstop advertising that convinces someone that they are a "superstar celebrity"...as reality trickles in, the individual will glom on to these ideas as a way to convince themselves that they actually ARE that "special" person that facebook and the media have told them about
