Years ago, a boyfriend told me that he has trouble believing the earth is round- his parents had reminded him that in the Bible it mentions the "four corners of the earth". Maybe that's the cornerstone (no pun intended) belief of the Flat Earth Society, which is evidently still alive and thriving.

MMario, the part that boggles my mind is that you found adozen people who all believed the same thing. Were they close friends to each other- and less so to you? I suppose that would help explain it. I agree that the experience would be scary. There's no way you could win that debate- they're too many levels of communication away. It would make a person watch one's back!
