Actually it does deal with religion. Predominately, we in the United States are Christian or some variant. The way I see it, though my beliefs and views may be against the grain of most people. I view us as stewards of Gods creation and as such we are responsible for this planet and the creations that dwell upon it. When you profess in a faith you must live with in that faith. When you stray from that path, everyone gets affected no matter how minuscule it seems. Let’s look at the mortgage crisis. The lure of “EASY MONEY” from home ownership has made a major impact on the economy. How you ask? Look at what a mortgage is, other peoples money that you have to payback with interest. The money spent on a mortgage is not being spent into the community. Pretty soon, like we have witnessed, we run into a recession. Why the money goes to the mortgage holder and not to the peoples goods and services available. Now if we went by owner financing the owner gets the money, that money goes to the citizens for payment for goods and services and there would be no late fees or interest rates. When you have a mortgage, that money goes to a financial institution and not out to the people with out some sort of penalty involved. Out of every mortgage made at least 3 to 7 jobs are lost.
