You’re right. I should take as entirely factual everything I see on YouTube.

Or possibly just not automatically dismiss as false stuff that doesn't happen to suit the world view you subscribe to .

Let's be serious. Do you really find it hard to believe that people haven't burnt bibles  as a form of protest? Because that's what you're dismissing with the glib Wikipedia/YouTube stuff.

I'd love to know why you think the Times of Israel would fake a rabbi burning a missionary bible in the UK.

I didn’t say I didn’t believe it.

I just thought your little dig about someone’s intelligence because they didn’t fact check on YouTube was funny.

Your view is exactly what I would expect from a socialist.  Isn't socialism at its heart about the state stepping in to plan and control actions when individual freedom won't produce the optimum effect?

No. Its the state supporting not controlling.

It wasn't a dig about fact checking; it was a dig about looking for an answer for yourself at all!
