How did you come up with the idea that the earth is flat? I’m just curious.
It is a combination of things, some of which are:
~ a knowledge and understanding of the character and nature of God
~ a knowledge and understanding of the character and nature of Satan
~ a knowledge and understanding of the character and nature of man
One of the character weaknesses of man is that we may be so easily deceived by Satan.
The Bible illustrates this very poignantly in this verse:
Revelation 12:
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

~ I am the kind of person who wants to know the [real, actual, bona fide] truth - "even if it hurts"...
~ I am not afraid of [knowing] the truth.
The more truth you know about the reality you live in, the less you will be afraid of it.
~ I don't have a pride problem dealing with the fact that I am "just another dumb human" who has been deceived by the "conspiracy of hidden knowledge" erected in this world by the followers of Satan.
The sooner you come to realize this truth (about you, not me), the sooner you will be able to learn the truth about a lot of things.
"Loose your pride, learn the truth."
Because of these things and more --- I have seen with my own eyes and reasoned with my own mind - that we have all been taught "a big lie" concerning [virtually] everything we know anything about.
