How can we judge without the text of the spam?

Hmm. Wasn't there something about usury being evil and/or a sin?

So maybe they're offering interest-free loans. Now that I would be interested in.

I can hear the slogan already:

"Be saved from high interest."

ba-dump-pah! (cymbal strike)

"Other home loans can be hell."

ba-dump-pah! (cymbal strike)

"Resurrect your finances with a Christian home loan!"

ba-dump-pah! (cymbal strike)

"Our rates are heavenly."

(drum roll) ba-dump-pah! (cymbal strike)

ick for targeting religion (and not a rigidly defined one, either--do they mean the original meaning of Christian, or the other, appropriated meaning?) but at least it's funny too! An officemate got a spam saying "I saw you in church... and I liked what I saw!" :-D
Any male enhancement or porn spams going in this direction? that would be funny!
...
does the loan protect against repossession?

Monica: that's a great idea! Just think: "get a loan from us, and if they even think about reposessing, He'll get all old testament on them!".

Of course, it still won't protect you against eminent domain.
