  • Are you kidding? I go to my evangelical church three times a week and I can assure you that "Satan* doesn’t bring any light.

    “Satan” only cares about these seven things

    I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

    II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

    III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

    IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

    V Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

    VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

    VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

    So, like I said, none of the above says anything about hating people that are different from you on the surface level. Good luck in hell.













  • There’s definitely a middle ground somewhere between both of our perspectives. I didn’t write it out, but you did bring up a great point regarding them notoriously being a shitty company to the people they rely on for income as well as the people they exploit for income, the creators and viewers respectively.

    I mean on a very strict technicality, I suppose part of this is secretive, but I still think there’s a better word out there for it. There’s absolutely no way they thought they could alter many many videos and it not be caught. I don’t think their intent was secretive. It has the same feel as lying by omission. Not quite a lie but could technically be classified as one.

    I’m really tired, and I got to get to bed. If you’re willing to continue tomorrow I’d be down.
