    The issue is that the vast majority of people don’t view religion as “what I should or shouldn’t do.” They view it as “what should and shouldn’t be done.” They can’t just follow the tenants themselves; in order to follow their religion - at least not the way they interpret it - they need to make sure the tenants are being universally followed. That’s why religion is always at odds with society as a whole unless that society is already overbearingly religious. It will never change unless there are no major groups within society with different beliefs than the norm.












  • While you’re right that the first time home buyer incentive does make it easier to afford a house than a lot of people realize (I bought my first house in January 2020 with a $10k down payment, and was easily able to stay on top of mortgage payments with a $40k/year salary), this is a comic, and the real issues of high housing prices and property scarcity due to private corporation buyouts are being exaggerated for comedic effect.
