There are also people who choose not to have fortified opinions on things that require trusting something that had been told to them. I’m am by no means a flat earther, but the Bible does say the earth is flat and I, personally, can’t empirically prove the shape of the earth so I don’t completely dismiss it. I also know that a large part of what we have been taught is BS.
But, 99% of flat earthers are retards and until one of them makes a convincing argument I will continue to believe the earth is spherical
I like the first half of your comment. It's well put.
It's fairly trivial to prove the earth isn't flat merely by geometry; travel in a triangle with 60 degree turns and you won't end up where you started. People knew this in ancient times way before christianity.
But I should have clarified that I respect the stubborn contrarian flat-earthers more than docile consensus worshippers. Even if they are wrong. It's always better to be a retarded skeptic than a gullible believer, of the two extremes.
