“Everything else is fine,” Hill says in the video, “but if I type in Satan, Satan loves you, I can type that. I can type Satan loves you, Allah loves you, Buddha loves you. But when I type that word in, I can't even type the word itself.”

But still, I won't support any company that doesn't support Jesus.”
