Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are cor- roded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.- James 5:1-6

At first I thought this was an angry Tumblr post but then it turned out to be the Literal Bible and it got 1000x better

    No, I don’t think experts really know 100%.

    Wrt cognitive dissonance: maybe, I’m more inclined to think they don’t admit it mostly to avoid consequences, legal or otherwise.

    It’s been a pleasure, friend.

      To others - probably, I was thinking more to themselves.

      Anyway, hope you have nice day/night wherever you are, I’m off to have a very late supper.
