    No they aren't, they are doing a rubbish job. They claimed that they were going to outcompete them. They should have done so by now, but haven't. They should be ashamed.

    I think anyone standing up to them and trying to compete need to be applauded. As for them being ashamed? I don't think so - I think a lot of people get put off by the Church and Christianity spin - but hopefully their example will lead others, and not just religious groups into competing against them. It's not a sprint!

    Churches have a long track record of talking good but doing little. After all, this is inherently what prayer is.

It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you... [it] doesn't walk in saying, "our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

    But they aren't trying, they said they would, and then didn't. They've not even sold out their investment in them yet.

    My bad - I thought they had already started offering loans to people in need of them
