    So you are a hypocrite.

    Your opinions are worthless, as you do the opposite of what you preach.

    I am glad you are using religious quotations to illustrate just how much of a hypocrite you are.

    Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. ~Matthew 15:14

    “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

    Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

    -- President John F. Kennedy”

    Yes I agree 100%

    Except you have a whole Forest blocking your vision.

    You are entitled to your own opinion, bless you.

    1 Peter 3:9
    “Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it.”

    For all those who have passionately argued against my viewpoint and have closed minds.

    Proverbs 15: 31-33
    “If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.

    I'm starting to think you are right.

    Charging compound interest on money lent is different than sharing in profits. When a person takes out a mortgage to buy a £l00,000 home; by the time the loan is paid off thirty years later he or she has given the holder of the mortgage approximately £300,000. This is compound interest in action and is usury by definition because the homeowner is paying an extra 200,000 pounds for what? There are all the reasons we were taught in school but they are false reasons for in most cases the banker creates the money from nothing, he merely created debits and credits with the house put up on the ledger to secure the loan. On one side of the books goes the house worth 100,000 and against that a check is written for 100,000. It would be just as easy for a government to create the money, also from nothing, and charge only a nominal fee for the transaction.
