Why do you assume that the ads cost the same?

I would assume that a piracy site might not be using Google's ad platform. YouTube also has a lot of recognition as a popular & legitimate platform, which likely seems juicier to advertisers compared to a generic site. (Those advertising on a pirate site might not know that the ads are shown there)

YouTube also is not in a big need of extra revenue, unlike some other, smaller sites. And, depending on the site, they may or may not be able to show big, unskippable, profitable video ads before access downloads.

Please support small independent sites with ad-views. ;)

Preface: I'm not a christian. And, of the religion teachers I've had, at least one had certain *ehum* interesting interpretations about the books, so my understanding of the lore may contain a bit of non-canon fanfiction. (I'm not from a very religious area, but she was a bit weird)

If I've understood correctly, "the devil" is more of a title, but not exactly? At least, "devil" should only refer to a single character at a time, and it should be obvious which one.
But, there are many demons. Still, if it's common to refer to a certain demon, or if it's apparent from the context, "the demon" could be fine, even if "demon" is very generic. If I tell my friends "You can't believe what the idiot did this time.", they know what I'm talking about, even though there are lots of idiots out there.

with Her

Is "her" the correct pronoun? A lot of art depicts Lucifer as pretty masculine, so perhaps "he"? Though, I'd probably use the neutral "they".
I'm not sure if this is from the official canon, but one religion teacher taught that angels were genderless, and the "weird" one taught that they were both male and female, possessing the parts from both sexes at the same time.

Angels have been depicted in many ways, but I think that I like the weird teacher's futanari version the most.

Isn't the point of the whole "divine right of kings" that the kings actions follow the will of god? Or worded a bit differently, that a king works as a god's proxy.

This would mean that taking land for the crown means taking it in the name of god, right?

Doesn't the office suite still have web versions available? I had to use Windows & Office a few years back. I strongly disliked the weird animated cursor and didn't bother to dive into the settings, so I switched to the web version. It should apparently have been "worse than the app", but it didn't have the horrible cursor and it worked on Linux with Firefox as well.
