Now, don't you give them that much credit dear darwinfish, if you look real well those web sites are far from been elegant, pretty, attractive or intelligent. I wouldn't call them web sites, i'd call them garbage disposals.
How the fuck do they manage to make garbage disposals?

Not sure about the other two sites linked in this thread, but I'm fairly certain the Flat Earth Society is a joke:

Just check their "join up" page.

Ahh, but there actually is a Flat Earth Society (the one OCM linked to is a joke). You can read their FAQ on their forums here.

This has to be a joke:

Q: "What's underneath the Earth?" aka "What's on the bottom?" aka "What's on the other side?"

A: This is unknown. Some believe it to be just rocks, others believe the Earth rests on the back of four elephants and a turtle.

It's funny as shit, but it is not a joke.

Read through some of the threads. There's a guy (Tom Bishop) who argues the FE stance. He's serious. It's fucking comedy gold.

It seems to me that all the pictures of the Earth from space are 2 dimensions, its always seen on a computer screen or paper. It is all 2D
Maybe the reason is it is flat. Please brothers what do you think about this.
I don't even know what to say about this. If anything is flat it's the brains of FE believers.

That site is an extension of the "Nothing can be proven" line of philosophy. Try to come up with an argument for the earth being round, and you'll get some absurd explanation.

There MIGHT be 2 people there that actually believe the earth is flat, (Dionysios for one) but they never post. So you basically have 2 kinds of posters: People sucked in trying to argue that the earth is round, and philosophy punks making sport of them.

These people need to test the theory of gravity by jumping off a 10 story or higher building.

that's a JET, peep, and JET's are a registered trademark by our very own calpurnpiso....you gotta pay him royalties now.

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

No, it's a GET, as in "You still think the world is flat?!? GET outta town!"

LOL The response you'll get, from a guy with over 5000 posts defending the hypothesis, is that while gravity is either non-existant or not enough to pull you down, the earth is being accelerated upwards at 9.8 m/s/s... thus it would rush up and squish you just the same.

Well a GET is the key to the JET. If the GET has no effect it means the person has FAILED his/her claim that the invisible friend Jesus is real, saves and matters!
After the JET has been taken, the person has been attracted by gravity to the pavement, JEsus failing to stop it and his/her skull has been cracked the second time, like a pot, exposing the faulty schizophrenia infected neurons, the jurors witnessing the test can say: GET, GET,GET up. If the person fails to get up, this proves they are delusional and Jesus doesn't exist :)

Christians and other folks infected with delusional beliefs think and reason like schizophrenics or temporal lobe epileptics. Their morality is dictated by an invisible friend called Jesus.
