Flat earth belief is pure and utter fantasy. It has no real scientific proof. It never has.

As we know, people latch on to conspiracy theories in their droves. They tend to believe all the weird stuff. They take something, from scripture and greatly twist it and manipulate it to suit their extremely narrow belief system just to try and make what they believe to be true, when in truth, scripture does not confirm their fantastic beliefs!

As i have said before these people tend to all 'believe' in the same unscientific stuff! I.e. Flat earth, moon has its own light source, NASA didnt land on the moon, twin towers were blown up deliberately, ad nauseam.
What do corgis know?!!? Those 6" legs don't let you see even to the horizon!! :p Hope you have a good day!

Apparently you do not understand how a horizon works.
A corgi's site to the horizon consists of a treat, couch, belly rub or to display that fine furry butt, the sploot

TL;DR

Did any of them reference Eratosthenes or say the Earth is a sphere? If not, I'm not sure why I should care.

It really is not that hard . the southern stars are rotating around a central area and at the same time moving around the perimeter of God's creation. Just like how the sun and moon move over the earth. Where exactly is that perimeter line , i do not know.
You have to know where exactly that perimeter line is or there is no perimeter line and you will travel endlessly in any direction without stopping over and over again no matter if its day or night.

No i do not. Having never seen the stars on the other side of the equator. If they are moving around a central point/area and they are also moving around the earth in that area, so other land areas see them as they move in their circuit. A person does not need to know where the central area is that is moving around the earth in that area.

You have anywhere in The Bible where it is stated the stars of outer space, because all i have seen is the stars of the sky or heaven (raqia) Tanakh.

New Testament
ouranos
Tanakh
shamayim

And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
Complete Jewish Bible:
And God called the dome Sky. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament (Sky dome) of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;

Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament (Sky dome) of the heavens to give light on the earth,

You use extremely bad interpretation of scripture my friend!

There is no central area on earth.

Does anyone know, is it MOSTLY Christians who have fallen for the flat Earth fraud???

No, I think its actually mostly Muslims, since Muhammed in a Hadith declared the horizon was an illusion, and the Quran describes Dhuul al’Kaarn (Alexander the Great) traveling so far west he encountered the Sun resting in a luminous pool.

It sure is. Oh and also earth does not mean a sphere covered with water and scattered land areas. Earth is defined as land or ground.

Wrong, as usual....
It can and is used for both the land on which people worked and lived and, the whole earth, our round planet...
