I've always wondered what difference it makes. Because I don't really care if the Earth is flat or round. Outside of proving "they LIED to us!", I don't see how it matters any.
That's because you never had a family member attempt to traverse the globe pole to pole and fall off the edge ... never to be seen again. :(

Sorry, that sounds like confirmation bias. People have a tendency to believe what they want to believe. One reason that the sciences are so successful in solving problems is that they have found ways to deal with that tendency. The sciences are evidence based. Not feeling based. One has to be willing to put one's beliefs to the test. If one cannot think of a possible test to refute one's ideas one is not using the scientific method. One cannot even have evidence for one's beliefs if one is not willing to test them.

That is why the Flat Earth woo woo fails so badly. Every Flat Earthers that I know of is deathly afraid of testing their ideas properly. There is no Flat Earth model. At best they will have a series of self contradicting ad hoc explanations.

our life is like a lightning flash in the sky


hence it is very shallow to think of this only
It is very shallow to play make believe games. If your beliefs have some validity why can't you support them at all? If anything your sort of approach is an argument against religious beliefs.
