The logical reason is that some people don't have any logical reason.

They're the type of people who think the government has something big to hide, for whatever reason. Because I couldn't possibly imagine the use of hiding the fact if the Earth is flat. When we show them facts, they say the government manipulated it. They say the scientists were paid. They say that all those hundreds upon thousands of people for multiple years are hiding this big secret. They don't want to accept the truth and choose to believe their own little fantasies because the real world isn't special enough for them.

God, I hate them.

I'll never understand them... they're the ones that need to be sent to space...

I've heard some flat earthers say that they think we're under a dome, I'm not sure they actually believe space is there.

Of course that wouldn't stop them being sent there.

I wasn't being critical; it was funny.

You sound triggered...

I was actually reading Octavia's comments but if you want to pretend I care what you say, that's fine.

Yeah, y'know, there's a thing you can select on someone's profile called 'stalk', it's a great idea.
It means you get to see content by people that actually have something worthwhile to say.

I checked, you have 12 stalkers, I'm not one of them.

Imgflip is not meant for hating on other Imgflip users. it is meant for sharing and looking at funny memes. If you dare to respond with anything but "sorry", you get a free downvote. Yay! (≧▽≦)

At least he was responding to something elsewhere. At first I thought he was a flat earther.

Now *that* would've been fun.

If you saw what the link was to, it was to a gif in which the lady says "I wish I could mute you"

Why are bothering me all of a sudden out of, literally, nowhere. You have interjected yourself into my life, berating me for "hate", telling me to "shut up".

Last time I checked, anyone can make memes and leave comments here...it is why we are here, the purpose, if you will, of this site. It seems to me you have some hate of your own to throw around, right Zippy?

Why are worried about the splinter in my eye when you have a plank in your own to deal with.

You may go now, your dismissed.

In the old days, all they could see to was the horizon. Nothing past that, but they didnt know that as they walked the edge would get farther. The horizon is flat, and that is why they thought the world was flat. They didnt have the science like we do now. Only the eccentric and brilliant people of that time thought the world was round, and they were right. Example, Galileio

Fine. So ill try to answer for now.
Cuz they are stupid and don't listen to reason. Or they've lived in the same place their whole lives, and never traveled. Or weren't educated.Many reasons.

Not proud to admit it, but yeah. I haven't read all of the Catholic Bible and much of what the Catholic Bible speaks of contradicts God's word. Enoch, on the other hand, correlates with the book of Genesis and fits the timeline.

Imagine dying to spread the word that the Earth was round only for people to start questioning it again.

Hey, now I have a question for these flat-earthers. If we've believed that the Earth is flat for hundreds of years, wouldn't we have found something by now?

Also, what about all those expeditions and stuff?
