Flat Earth Community / Questions are met with confusion
« on: November 10, 2018, 06:35:50 PM »
My son made me aware earlier this week that there were people who believed that the earth is flat. My response was - "REALLY?" Immediately I was intrigued and started "googling" it. I found my way here. I really just wanted to learn more about this perspective. I mean, I had questions but before asking those I needed to learn more.
Unfortunately it seems there is a lot contradiction from the FE people and I am having a hard time finding anything but. Just a couple bigger contradictions I've seen are:
1) The Government is making a lot of fake evidence to support the RE belief in the form of pictures and video but they can be manipulated. Yet a lot of FE members use pictures and video to support the FE belief. (contradiction)
2) (Again) The Government (and the scientific community) are making up things to promote the RE belief. Yet a lot of FE members refer to those same members, e.g. the navy, to support the FE belief. (contradiction)
These contradictions remind me of a gal that drove up to my vehicle and started yelling at me for sitting in my vehicle with the engine idling - I am contributing to global warming! Did you, however, catch the part where I wrote that she "drove" up to my vehicle? Honestly. It would have been different had she rode up on her bicycle.
I legitimately started searching the FE belief to learn about this with no prejudice but so far all I have been met with is little to no evidence supporting FE and a lot of debasing comments deflecting RE rationale with no support to the contrary.
I guess the reason for my writing this is cause now I am getting a little frustrated, confused and perhaps angry that there seems to be a significant amount of people that believe in FE but are doing so "blindly" (which also seems to be FE's argument against RE). I use the word blindly due to the lack of follow through on FE's behalf on any of the debates I have read so far. How does such a large community exist without any foundation at all (it seems anyway). I really don't want to be prejudice toward FE but this forum seems to have the biggest following but also seems to be devoid of anything real to help me understand FE.
In a nutshell, where does one go to get the real juice about FE?
