In a flat earth that's spinning, wouldn't we be forced towards the edge...centrifugal force?
If I'm wrong, be gentle.

But, as far as why would TPTB lie to us? Well, that's easy and I will answer with a question...When, in all of history, has a government, empire, or kingdom not tried to oppress and lie to the people?

That only fits if you assume there is a Creator / God.
Why claim the Earth is round at all? If this was done back in the 1700s and before it would not matter at all; Christianity and Religion ruled to the extreme, they could of dismissed all claims and stated the world is flat, but it took until very later on to now to prove otherwise...? Yeah, no.
An actual plausible theory is what I said, I am not talking recent history here.
Before you think I am knocking any religion, keep in mind I do believe in a Higher power,just not what people would think of one; I believe there is something that is very powerful that resides outside of this universe that may of created or initiated this universe's spark, however it is not a God as people believe in, just something that is very powerful and very very beyond what humans are, but I do not pray to it or think I will meet whatever force it is, it is just something in the back of my mind I brush against every now and then.
All I ever wanted from the FE people was a theory of why that sounds a little plausible.

No, I don't have a copy. There are scriptures in the old testament, starting with Genesis. I won't quote any here, it is more fun if you go and find it for yourself and much more revealing.
