Subject: Flat Earth in General

Yeaaaaah, hi.
I just read through some of this, and I have concluded that it is complete 
and total bull shit.  Have you ever heard of FICTION?  You do not take J.R.R. 
Tolkien, H.P. Lovecraft, the bible, or any other work of mythology or fiction 
as FACT.  I am a god-fearing man and a christian, but using the bible for 
geographical analysis as fact is stupid as hell!  And so, does Wisconsin 
exist?  Because I sure as hell life here, and I want to know if I live there, 
or if it's a conspiracy against my brain!  If the world were pentagonal and 
flat, we'da known it by now.
Also, proof that the earth is round:  Ships coming over the horizon across 
the ocean seemingly come up a hill almost as if; THE OCEAN DOES NOT HAVE 
HILLS!  The ocean is "level", by means that it has no elevation.  but it is 
ROUND.  If the earth were flat, you could look with a telescope across the 
atlantic, and WHOA!  There's Europe!  And what if you fly over England?  cuz 
I was there, and it sure existed!  If it didn't, I'd not be here, or, I'da 
been in water!  So what is it?  Flat earth, or round earth?
