I say part of a YT video of about 2-3 hrs long, and it's just some more
self-concluded christian BS, to prove that Jesus is coming soon, yes
more christian fan fiction or mental masturbation, anyway irrelephant
unless they decide to make another inquisition or crusade, oh wait..

Somebody should create laws against this kind of christian dictatorship
on Human Rights.

Yes. Now that you mentioned this, I sincerely wonder what the position
of the devil can be for them. Is there a place for him? Recalling Salem,
I suppose there is.
