This is not about me nor what I believe. However, even if I did believe that one person should be allowed to rent their home to someone else, that doesn’t mean I worship private property like a god.
‘Worship’ and ‘god’ are words that have meanings. Perhaps you should look them up if you think ‘believes someone should be legally allowed to rent their home to someone else’ applies to either word.
Sorry, you’re moving the goalposts now. This was about worshiping property as a god.
Is believing that someone can rent their home to someone else worshiping property as a god? If so, please define ‘worship’ and ‘god’ as they apply to this context.

Yes, it means you support parasitism, slavery, and guzzling the blood of workers like the vampire you are.

Worship: the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
“the worship of God”
God: (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
2.
(in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.
“a moon god”
Yes, it means you support parasitism, slavery, and guzzling the blood of workers like the vampire you are.
Really? If I rent my house to my friend because I’ve moved to another city and they need a place to live and they get to cover maintenance costs and not have to go into debt with a mortgage, that means I support parasitism, slavery and guzzling the blood of workers?

None of that applies to owning or renting a home. In any way.

Yes. How does all that blood taste?

I see, so the thing to do that would not be parasitic enslavement and vampirism would be to put someone else in debt and enrich myself by selling the house.
You’re right, why didn’t I see this before? Profit over giving a friend a home is the right way to go about things. Thank you for explaining it to me.
No, the thing to do would be to abolish landlordism and ensure that no one is in debt for necessities. The USA currently has twenty million empty housing units and half a million homeless people. This is where your reasonable moderation gets you.

You worship capital like a god.

Cool, I’ll get right on abolishing landlordism with my… magic wand?
But until it recharges, maybe renting houses to friends isn’t worshiping property like a god?
