Stuff like this distracts us from giving the rightful first place to Him.
The adversary works by distraction a LOT

Because nothing clinches an argument like making it a heaven-or-hell matter! :D

That's right folks. If you believe something I don't believe, or vice versa, you are an active assistant to the devil himself.

You totally missed the truth, again.
Christian faith is not a list of do this and don't do that rules, that is religion, not faith in Christ, which is clearly relationship, and the adversary seeks to distract us from that relationship in this and other ways.
That is why you understanding of faith is askew.

Since gravity pulls everything towards the center of the earth, on a flat earth, gravity would pull everything sideways
Flat earthers try to get around this one by claiming gravity isn't a real thing

Sure, and so very funny. You do not know if the earth is flat, oval or whatever. You take it on faith, you have been indocterinated the oval thing. You have never ever contemplated it. And regardless of shape, what would it matter? You still walk around as today, flat some places, hilly other places, water runs as it does. The sun shines, there are sometimes cloudy, sometimes it rains, and the idiotwind keeps on blowing our hats of our heads. Puck or egg is irrelevant.
The easiest way to know the Earth isn't flat is to look at a lunar eclipse. A flat Earth would cast a flat shadow on the moon. It doesn't

It would be a lot like the Truman Show.

The whole Flat Earth idea seems more like something puny humans come up with, not someone with the power, nature, and intelligence of the Biblical God. No, the heliocentric / spherical earth FACT demonstrates the incomprehensible, mind-blowing nature of that God.

A lot of people attribute Christopher Columbus to figuring out the Earth isn't flat but the Greeks figured it out 2,000 years ago using mathematics
Lol. When one (such as the ancient Greeks, allegedly) have to assume something is true in order to prove it:
1) It's not proof
2) It says more about one's lack of critical thinking than it says about the thing they were trying to prove
3) It shows one may be desperate
4) It indicates one may be more susceptible to the theory of evolution.

I dunno Moses... That #4 is a bit of a low blow, and fightin' words too.

Why? It's true. Are you an evolutionist?

Evolutionists basically "prove" their theory by stating that the alternative - special creation - is unthinkable. So they therefore interpret everything in the light that the alternative is impossible, so they don't need to consider it.

The same thing the ancient Greeks (apparently) did when proving Earth to be a ball, rather than flat (the same result they apparently used to state the Earth was a ball could equally have been used to state it was flat, so not really a proof of anything at all).

I don't know why you guys think the earth is flat. There are mountains and valleys everywhere. Sheesh.

Relatively flat. But globalists and Flat Earthers alike tend to drop the word "relatively" off for brevity, because whether its a relatively ball-shaped Earth or a relatively flat Earth, relatively shaped so is assumed, or the mountains and valleys would definitely spoil it! :)

Can you demonstrate using the rules of science that the earth is flat?

I saw the video clip of this awhile back with the poor dinosaurs bouncing off the flat earth like a trampoline, and I must confess that I laughed for at least 10 minutes straight. 🤣
Did they wind up in space? That might explain... so much.

Oh please, let's not get relativity into this. It's already muddy enough without chronological distortions.
