You probably believe that the moon is flat too, or just "a light in the sky."
If you look at a gibbous moon (3/4 full) through a decent set of binoculars, there will be no doubt in your mind that the moon is a ball, as you can spot the curvature of the terminator (the boundary between light and dark) from pole to pole, and the entire moon will appear in 3D perspective.
I HAVE read the web page of the flat earth society. So yes, I have done my share of the bargain. Are you willing to do YOUR research by looking at the moon the way I suggest?

@TBIman I've looked at the moon through a telescope. I have seen mountains, craters, lava plains, cliffs. People DO know what the moon is. And a spherical moon orbiting a flat earth makes no sense. (Unless of course, you are one of those people who believes gravity is a hoax as well.)
