   I don’t own a single credit card.

   Who is forcing YOU to?

   How much in fees would these companies collect if everyone simply exercised self-control, and either:

   (1) Didn’t use them at all, like me

   (2) Paid their balance(s) off in full each month

   (3) Didn’t overcharge, overdraft, or in any way overspend?

   Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most irresponsible one of all?

   I love how the Demoncrats tirelessly fight to make Government the defender of every stupid, selfish, destructive, and irresponsible behavior under the sun…

   Scott since you don’t have them or us them it is alright for the credit industry to screw over people?

   They’re not screwing anyone who isn’t first screwing themselves. :/

   The Bible condemns both usury and borrowing for valid reasons. There’s nothing governments can do that will erase what God has hard-wired into the universe. “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.”

   Virtually no one in America used credit cards prior to the 1960s, when the Supreme Court forcibly turned our culture Godless by stripping Christianity from our schools. Consumer debt is the consumer’s choice; debt is always bad. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. Save up money for big purchases.

   That, or suffer the consequences. Again, consequences which no amount of government meddling will ever be able to remove from reality..

   Government CREATED this ugly “consumer culture” we live in today. Why do you expect the people who created the problem to be able to fix it? They CAN’T…

   There isn’t anyone or anything on Earth will a larger, more crushing Debt than the US government… “–by their fruits you wil know them.”

   Blah, blah, blah. The Bible condemns a LOT of stuff nearly everyone ignores. The Bible also commands a lot of stuff nearly everyone ignores. The modern “Christian conservatives” are all to happy to ignore what ever parts of the Bible they see fit while looking down on the rest of us for not cowing to the few bits and pieces they do follow.

   That said, I do agree that people have come to rely too heavily on high interest credit cards. If you really need that Margaritaville blender, you would have saved up for it. Same for all that hideous capodimonte junk people get from the shop at home channel.

   scott, the Supreme Court certainly did not strip Christianity from *my* school. I went to 12 years of Catholic school. Crucifix in every classroom, religion a required subject (except for non-Catholics, of course), school Mass once a month or more for Holy Days of Obligation…nope, still there. Still in both my daughters’ schools, too.
   If, however, I were a Catholic in a public school in North Carolina (where I grew up), and was forced to follow the dictates of the majority of Christians there – Baptists, many fundamentalists – I for one would be more than a little oppressed. Especially since a number of said Baptists would be quite happy to say that I am condemned to H3ll unless I worshipped their way. Had I been Jewish, it might have been even worse.
   The Supreme Court ensured that obligatory religion stayed in religious schools, and in churches, and in the hearts of the religious – which is where it belongs.

   Scott must understand the principles of ownership in the Old Testament, along with the concept of Jubilee when everything goes back to the original owners. Just as he knows the principles of the three tithes. What he has forgotten is “Judge not! Lest ye be judged,” and “render unto Caesar.”
   To those who thought that they were justified under the “Law,” Jesus proved that they were frauds. Scott needs to read Matt. 5-7 “The Sermon on the Mount.” I wonder if he will boast in his righteousness then.

   Scott your parody of an extreme right wing religious right nut case is hilarious! As a recovering Southern Baptist I find it almost too true to be funny! Thanks for starting my day with a good old fashioned belly laugh!
