It seems you are coming at this more from a Christian worldview, and I have to say that after reading your "disclosure" it is apparent that you actually have a pretty good understanding of the geometry of spacetime and other aspects of time travel that most normal people don't really think about.
I understand your interest in FE. I also started reading / watching flat earth material with no expectation of ever being convinced, but just out of curiosity as to what the arguments were. After going through it and having some fun, I then became more interested in the phenomenon itself. In my view, there is zero doubt that FE was a centrally executed psyop. I can't answer whether it was the CIA, some other US agency, the UN, the jews, or whatever. But it was. However, I do have to admit that there are definitely real believers too. Even if it was a psyop, it is now part organic. Not everyone is a shill.
IMO, flat earthers can be divided into believers and non believers. The non believers definitely include some grifters, but I believe it also includes intentional disinfo agents likely from the intel agencies. The believers include a variety of people. Some are general conspiratorial people who doubt everything from government, some are biblical literalists. They seem to have different reasons.
A few years ago I would read the FlatEarthResearch board here. I initially thought that Jack223344whatever was a believer, but over time I saw him also indicate that he started that one to study the FE psyop. It sounds like you did the FlatEarth one for similar reasons? I am also wondering if, since Christian theology is important to you, you were maybe talking some of those evangelical FEers off the cliff of "you must believe this or you are not a Christian" (I believe this to be a jewish psyop myself).
Personally, because I am such a math and science fan, and not the "believe science" dumbass kind on the left, I have no problem with FE. I encourage people to question what they are told from authority figures and investigate for themselves. However, if they actually did that, those people (FEers) would have to learn real math and physics and would eventually reject the pancake and all other models for the oblate spheroid. If the FE people were serious, I would love to talk them through their doubts and confusion, because it is true that most pop science explanations are bullshit.
However, they are not serious, as can be seen from your old board. They respond to pretty much anything with calling the person a brainwashed idiot for believing a magical sticky force holds them to a sphere spinning at 1000 miles per hour. There is never any attempt to rationally investigate what that means.
