(Shh, don't mention that Nate has written worse.) This leads to a discussion of the sliding scale of bad words -- truth is, no word is bad intrinsically. Seriously: a word's badness or goodness is dependent on how it's used -- on its place in the STORY. (This is SASF, people, you should have seen that coming.) Or, if you prefer to look at it this way, EVERY word is bad -- if used in a way God wouldn't. This naturally leads into a discussion of the nature of evil. Brian tries to lump Nate in with Augustine. Nate resists: Evil is not black goo you can add to things! And so this episode goes.\r\n#StoriesAreSoulFood #SASF #BadWords #StrongLanguage #Augustine #Stories","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Il1UxsZUuv7mwFGRS2KIhOkwOp2lzT9fBmyecRRg3tY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMTk1/ZmVlNjk0ZDliZjlk/ODdmYTc2ZTY5YWNh/Mzg4OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
