Oh - I think they are just two of the several things that people choose/like to believe in - which also include the Easter Bunny and the Ball Earth...
Or, the Bible is telling us the truth about our world.
Do you believe that ALL of scripture was inspired?
Why would the Holy Spirit of God "inspire" anyone to write something that was not the truth?
Or, it is simply believing what the scriptures tell us...

i believe the are from the same author
Which is exactly what happens. They would have to move out of each other's flight path to avoid collision.
The same is true on the surface of The Earth. Totally impossible on a flat earth model.
Travelling east or west in a straight line on the proposed FE model will crash you into the ice wall.
I ask God the same thing each day. My mission in life is to humbly serve the Lord. First, last, always. Unfortunately, I often fall short.
I put mine in the dishwasher.I'm thinking baked spaghetti with cheese on top
just remember to wash your foil hat before putting it back on

you bake spaghetti in the dishwasher? is it one of those new convertible models that bakes and washes?
There is no treaty preventing people from exploring Antarctica. Australia (which FE asserts does not exist) has a substantial base there. So does the US. The treaty is against mining and drilling for oil. Antarctica has been well explored for at least 2 centuries.

Straw man. Flat Earth theory does not require the denial of Australia's existence. However, a valid question for the point - why would one invent a psyop for a topic like Flat Earth, if there wasn't truth in it?
Jarle Andh0y - modern day explorer denied permission to explore Antarctica.

When he finally started to do it anyway, his ship mysteriously sunk and he's been tied up in legal disputes since. Not what I'd call freedom to explore.
Think of a disc (world). North is the hub, South is the rim. East and West are widdershins and turnwise. Whether traveling widdershins or turnwise, you will never leave the disc (just keep travelling in circles). You keep going North, you will stay in the center. South is the only way to the edge.
How about modern explorers with documentation such as pictures, videos and written journals?
Antartica is surrounded by the Antarctic ocean also known as the Southern Ocean. There is no ice wall.
There are many bases there supported by several countries staffed with citizens from many countries. Also, commercial cruises frequent the continent. Any tourist can book passage.
It is an established fact that there is 24-hour daylight in the Summer months and 24-hour darkness in Winter months.
That is a description of the New Jerusalem. Width, length, and height are equally 1500 miles. Square.
Very suspect, as these are not independent - similar to NASA and government space agency photographs of the Earth. As outlined earlier, free agents are not permitted to explore Antarctica now. The early independent (or at least more honest) explorers documented things which are inconsistent with modern claims. Such as 24 hour daylight in Summer. Unreported by early explorers, which is odd, if it truly exists.
So this isn't real?
Run by the military. Oh, sorry, government "scientific branches". I don't trust the government to tell the truth, anymore than I trust the military, the CDC, NASA etc. These are the same sort of people, employed to tell the same sort of lies.
No they can't. Only to predesignated locations. This is not how exploration works.
Don't you find it strange there's only one controversial/contested video of this, whereas for the North, there are thousands upon thousands? I do.
I'm not as stupid as you seem to think I am. Stop playing games.
Anyone can travel in circles, even in a small space. That doesn't equal going east or west in a straight line.
Finding a point on a disc and going around it like a needle on a record isn't a straight journey. It's constantly turning.
This is a straight line across a disc.

No - I wouldn't use the word 'stupid'; albeit, the word 'pride' could possibly be in-the-mix somewhere...
You are not listening.
You are not "lending yourself to learning" so that you may understand it better.
Whether or not you choose to believe that any of it is true is a different matter altogether.
He is not playing games; rather, he is trying to help you understand how it works in the Flat Earth model.
Stop trying to understand Flat Earth from a Ball Earth point of view.
The Flat Earth model is not based on the Ball Earth model. It is a totally separate model.
The Flat Earth model does not depend on the Ball Earth model. It stands on its own.
Stop trying to understand Flat Earth from a Ball Earth point of view.
To understand it properly, you must look at it from a Flat Earth point-of-view.
Neither is it [straight] in the Ball Earth model - unless you disregard the curvature under the line.
(a truly 'straight line' = "end up in outer space" - right?)
Of course, it is okay to do this on a map - in which case, we would be talking about a geographic straight line.
In the image below, the 'X' at the center would be the 'North Pole'. Every point on the circle is 'South' from/of there.
In the Flat Earth model, East-West at a particular location is in reality a tangent point of a circle.
The distance from that location to the 'North Pole' is the radius of the circle.
