Got this in some spam recently: "Debt elimination services based on Christian Principles."

The Christian thing to do would have been to never take on debt in the first place...

Proverbs is Old Testament.
that would be B.C.

That's true, Seeks, but the Proverbs is a part of the Old Testament that Christianity, for the most part, draws on pretty heavily. i.e. Genesis, Exodus and some others. It's not like Christians have disavowed the Old Testament.

They're always breaking out the Proverbs on us at just about every Church I've been to.

When I became a born-again atheist, my evangelical Pentacostal father and I would get into epic, angry debates about religion... I'd sit there in my Deicide t-shirt and point out that Christians selectively follow certain parts of the O. T. but deny others when convenient to support my "Religion is a man-made moral law enforcement tool" argument. He used to get so pissed off! Ahh, high school... those were the days.

Haha...
Deicide.
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? To surrender dreams - -this may be madness; to seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness! But maddest of all - -to see life as it is and not as it should be.
