Anyway, serious question.
Why, it's the universal accelerator, of course!

These people are either seriously having one on, or are bat-shit crazy to a level only dreamed of by the bat-shit craziest religious nutters.
But the relative acceleration would be ZERO, right? So we could float in the air?

I'm pretty sure the original flat earth society was a joke, the equivalent of modern day trolls. It's shocking to see that it's actually being taken seriously. More importantly I think it shows how some people think. If you can just pile up mountains of shitty shitty shitty evidence people will say 'wow, look at all this evidence for a flat earth/9/11 truth/Obama is a Muslim' and not pay attention at all to the quality of the evidence.
My normal real life reply to any conspiracy kook (I actually met a flat earther in real life) is: what does it matter if the earth is flat, since we all died in 2012 and live in a simulated universe anyway"

They claim that the Antarctic ice shelf is really a wall around the edge of the world.

And an aeroplane has never tried to fly over?
Crazy fuckers they are?
Why do we even bother entertaining them in this or any thread for that matter.
It's different for theists, they've got unfalsifiablity on their side.
I wonder if there's any wackos who deny the logic of maths?
Eg: 1+1=2 is a hoax! Wake up people!

Outside the bible and the koran they'd have no reason to believe the earth is flat, so they wouldn't be yapping in the face of all evidence to the contrary.

I'm afraid it's hardly their last gasp. Until governments find some other opium for the masses, you're probably right.

You don't get it, everything is rigged, The Powers That Be have a vested interest in the "Round Earth" hoax. This is why Flatters are not rich. If they were they'd fly over the supposed "South Pole" and prove it isn't there. And neither is that big ass telescope they built down there for that matters. What the Hell do those guys do all winter? They waste our tax dollars, that's what they do! (What? It's British? Still a scam, sheeple!)

Trump is the dumbest president ever. It is time for all the other dummies to shine too. They feel empowered.

They've always had the power. It's why the world is still overwhelmingly religious.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
