HODL's statement doesn't satisfy the very simple WWJD test.

Christ said to give up everything you have and follow him.

If you don't understand what everything you have means, it's because you don't want to think it through because you have things to give up including family.

All attachments must be released in order to do what Christ said.

Christ said “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.” That’s about priority, not abandonment

“Leave everything” was a specific calling to specific individuals, not a universal mandate. Paul distinguished between those called to celibacy and marriage (1 Corinthians 7).

You’re weaponizing a particular calling against the general design. Christ upheld family under His Lordship. That’s covenant faithfulness, not idolatry.

No, it was the same teaching as Buddha taught.

Attachments are the cause of all suffering is the same lesson as give up everything you have and follow me.
