Thou Shalt Not Steal?

The more educated one is, the more they fully understand the economics of this, and many other issues that may affect their well being and that of their families. . Maybe a study should be done that compares the education levels of all the states, vs. this 'payday lending' issue/ Think an un-intended correlation might also show up between evangelicals (and Mormons) and education levels? How about a study that compares educaiton levels among the states, and who gives most of their paychecks to their churches or 'revivalls' that pass through their towns/states. Shoot, I bet any one of you with at least a little bit of internet/research ability could do this yourselves.

It's dangerous to draw a cause and effect relation between a correlation. I think it's unfair to the Christian community to say "...there's a disproportionate number of predatory lenders???usurious money-changers, depending on what you want to call them???in your flock, that's a significant fact, irrespective of the why." The 'why' actually is very important. Don't just jump to conclusions because you like to jump on Christians.

I agree that this was a witch hunt. There is no correlation only insinuation. Maybe less religious communities need more regulation? If you can't say anything nice. why say anything.
