[Edit 10/13/2020: Josh's views and beliefs--like those of any person undergoing constant growth, maturity and change throughout life--are in a continual state of flux. He may or may not still hold to statements, beliefs or ways of phrasing things that he did on these past episodes, even if he's delivering them with utter conviction. That's because, at that moment in time, based upon the circumstances and the information he had available to him, he did sincerely believe, with a pure heart, that those things were true or correct. But people change, their ideas and views expand and take on new form, and that's good, so take everything said with a grain of salt and a lot of compassion.]
