        1. I’m not religious. I just play one to fuck with evangelicals.

        2. There’s a great TikTok meme where Peter takes “you are my rock” to mean “be Dwayne the Rock and crush your enemies”

        3. If I can save people by taking up the sword, then I accept perishing by it as penance.

          Rather, evil is perpetuated when immoral principles become normalized over time by people who do not think about things from the standpoint of others. Evil becomes commonplace; it becomes the everyday. Ordinary people — going about their everyday lives — become complicit actors in systems that perpetuate evil. Source
