Are you saying it's not?

blasphemy!!
 
Flat.

Proof

That guy can't be wrong.

"Nobody knows anything about the true shape of the world," he contends. "The known, inhabited world is flat. Just as a guess, I'd say that the dome of heaven is about 4,000 miles away, and the stars are about as far as San Francisco is from Boston."

As shown in a map published by Johnson, the known world is as circular and as flat as a phonograph record. The North Pole is at the center. At the outer edge lies the southern ice, reputed to be a wall 150 feet high; no one has ever crossed it, and therefore what lies beyond is unknown.

The sun and moon, in the Johnson version, are only about 32 miles in diameter. They circle above the earth in the vicinity of the equator, and their apparent rising and setting are tricks of perspective, like railroad tracks that appear to meet in the distance. The moon shines by its own light and is not eclipsed by the earth. Rather, lunar eclipses are caused by an unseen dark body occasionally passing in front of the moon.

It's flat because I want to believe in it, since it would be more practical.

Don't even try to persuade me of its roundness using facts and logical reasoning, I'm an idiot living in a fantasy world who blindly believes in something supported by no evidence. Besides, my deity says it's so. The more money I pay my sect, the flatter Earth will become. They say so, it must be true.
😕
 
I have a map of the world and it's flat therefore the world is flat. I also have a globe in which in the earth is round, therefore it's round. So I need an option for "both - sometimes flat but other times it is round"
