    Flat-earthers are just religious nutjobs. They don’t really believe any of the pseudoscience in it, they believe it because it conforms with what their holy book says.

      I’m sure some are, but I stand by my assertion that I’ve met flat-earthers who were simply sceptical and pushing that particular point of view.

      This was also when they were new. I’m not sure if those people represent the whole or if I just met an outlier (and online, at that, where anyone can say/claim anything). I certainly don’t mean to speak about all of them.

      This is not a definition of all flat earthers. By painting with such broad strokes, you’re spreading your own version of misinformation. Flat earthers can be people from any background. There are some flat earthers who have this view you mention, but hardly all.
