Yeah, he can always live in the country where it's cheaper. Heck, many villages in Europe (especially in Italy) are giving houses in abandoned villages for free (ok, for 1 euro), even Lorraine Bracco took one in Sicily.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
