This is an inherent problem with monotheistic religions.
The nature of monotheism means other perspectives cannot exist...which means anyone not part of the religion is not only fundamentally wrong, but fundamentally *threatening to the religion*.
Monotheism has a built-in existential crisis.

So I'm thinking about this joke and my interactipns with evangelicals and there is this... thing underneath the obliviousness.
They feel EVERYTHING spiritual belongs to them.
Everything Jewish, particularly, but also all the pagan stuff they acquired.
A monopoly on Holiness.

Humans are persistence predators. We're built to follow prey at a comfortable pace until they wear themselves out and cannot run anymore. The human body is designed to move, to keep moving, to *almost never stop moving*.

Anti library. If companies could everything would be a short term rental. You wouldn't own anything and have to constantly pay. In the comic space we've seen a few attempts at subscriptions and they do run them.
