Pots kill pots, potter says if you keep doing that you will be thrown in the trash (hell). Red pot rejects the potter and embraces violence, thus the potter breaks (smites) the red pot and sends it to the trash.
Thats my understanding, but its also kinda simple and doesnt really need an allegory so it might be something else entirely that im missing?
No, that seems to be the entirety of it. Browsing through the author’s other comics, they all seem to be paper thin messages touted as biblical gospel; you kinda are expected to read these comics like they’re these deep and philosophical metaphors when the ultimate message is “don’t steal or God will punish you”. And they all have bible verses as captions underneath them. I mean, my thoughts on organized religion aside, it doesn’t seem like a bad comic series, just a little too… I dunno, “common denominator”? There are a couple good comics there, like two friends playing video games, one of them keeps raging at the other one for being bad at the game, so the one bad at the game starts feeling really sad and finds a new friend to play video games with, leaving the first (angry) friend all by himself. The message there being, obviously, don’t be a dick to your friends or they’ll leave you. Again, not a bad message, just a bit, “well, duh.”
There’s also a comic where there’s a toxic gas infesting a work site, which a worker pulls out a measuring tape and because he can’t measure it, he concludes that there is no toxic gas. And then he dies. By the toxic gas, of course. That he couldn’t measure with a measuring tape. Go ahead, guess what that’s an allegory for. Don’t worry, I know this is a hard one.
I think its an allegory
Potter is God Pots are people

Ah yes, if gas leaks are undetectable but real and dangerous, then God must be real and dangerous too. Just trust me bro, have faith
