 If a very ridiculous event occurred it might have a very ridiculous outcome 
 Hilarious watching you try and rationalise the belief my man. 
 ball earth makes more sense to me than flat earth

but OK

like, what do you think is underground? lava? and then what? hell? 
 Stationary doesn't have to mean flat. Geocentrism is the basis of all observations ever made, and all we get from astrophysicists is "nah-uh that's just an illusion."

I don't believe in hell, and not even heliocentric subscribers know what's below the ~8 miles people have ever managed to dig, so your guess is as good as mine. What I am quite sure of is that the realm we live in doesn't move, based on all observations. There is no exclusive evidence that the Earth revolves around the sun, since there is an equivalence in validity between the two models... I just lean towards stationary at this point in time. 
 Do you think other space objects also orbit the Earth? For example the moons of Jupiter - do they orbit Jupiter and Jupiter orbits Earth? Or do they orbit Earth directly and just happen to float in the vicinity of Jupiter? Or does Jupiter orbit the sun which orbits earth? How exactly does this work? 
 I believe all celestial bodies move around the Earth - the sun, the moon, the "planets". I don't think space is a thing in the way they sell it. 

Even made a curious observation the other night - focused on Jupiter (444 million miles away, allegedly) with a telescope, and then tracked to the moon (238k miles, allegedly) without changing focus, and it was perfectly in focus. I have doubts about the distances they claim, too.

 You're not addressing the question. 
the moons of Jupiter orbit Jupiter, not the Earth. Making part of the universe not Earth-centric at least.  
 There are "moons" that appear to orbit around other celestial bodies. The main celestial bodies all appear to orbit around the Earth though. La Grange point probes made the same observations... 3 times. Earth is at the centre of it all.

 Therefore you accept that at least not everything in the universe is earth-centric. 
 
 All observations ever made would disagree with that assertion, but roll with that. 
 I don't think we're talking the same. 
If a moon orbits Jupiter, and Jupiter orbits Earth (somehow), then the moon, let's say Europa is orbiting Jupiter directly, not Earth. 
It would go around the Earth only indirectly, thanks to Jupiter. 

Is that clear? The "CENTER" for that moon, Europa, is Jupiter. It's a Jupter-centric orbit. 
And you said that's the case.  
 Yet even though that moon is orbiting Jupiter, it is still orbiting the earth on a larger scale, since it follows Jupiter in its orbit around the earth. 
 To that moon, to whoever is living there (if there's anyone living there), they are orbiting Jupiter. 

What matters here is the definition of the word "orbit". The curly salad drawing that you presented is not orbits.

Europa going around Jupiter is an orbit. A simple, curved line around another larger object.
