CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Another look at the moon landing.

But the distant lamp posts are not disappearing over the horizon, are they? They just appear smaller than the nearer ones. When the sun sets, it doesn't get smaller and smaller, but rather, it gradually disappears, so that half way through a sunset, we see only half of the sun, not the whole sun but getting smaller. Look at the distant lamp posts in your picture. They still appear as whole lamp posts, but smaller than the nearer ones.

As with the lampposts it is the same principle with the sun the only difference is that the sun stays the same size.

First, why does the sun stay the same size? On a flat earth, the sun is further away at sunset and sunrise than it is at midday, so it should appear smaller at sunrise and sunset.
Second, as I mentioned in my post, the lamp posts are not the same as the sun. Not only do the more distant lamp posts appear smaller than the nearer ones (unlike the sun), the more distant lamp posts are whole, just appearing smaller (again unlike the setting sun).
