Why are we so awful to people on social media?
First, because we are so awful to people. We are so awful to people because we are awful people. Technology does not create fresh wickedness in us. It can, however, invite our wickedness out to play. Social media that seems … Continue reading

What is the devil’s game? Lord of the Lies
