I also hate the video style that's a rant on top of the slideshow of compiled Facebook images. If you want to make an argument, put some sources on those slides (like verses stating something or any research backing them up), but that's just me.

I feel you. I am not sure that thinking the earth is a globe and heliocentrism is a soul damning belief. To balance, I have looked at this before and I am not ready to say definelty that the earth is flat, but I can say that GOD says a lot about how the foundations of the Earth won’t move and he calls it a circle and talks about its corners.
I am not keen enough in math to understand how a circle can have corners. Unless it was a flat plane inside of a half dome or full dome. Could that possible? This would also explain the “fountains of the deep” breaking open during the flood of Noah. I hope I am explaining this properly. It is merely conjecture.
I think the avenue of NASA lies is also promising. Those pictures of different earths are pretty sketchy. As a social scientist, I know well enough that research will always be trumped by an agenda. For example, why can’t anyone go to Antarctica and investigate this ice wall? If it doesn’t exist let us go down there and see, or stream it live. We have the technology to literally do that now. Put the naysayers to bed. Show that there ain’t a wall.
In closing I wish nasa would in real time flight out of the atmosphere and far enough away from the earth to show the globe. In real time. No editing, no camera tricks. If flat earth is a myth that would kill it dead ya know?
I hope my feedback pleases you sharp.
