    Unfortunately most of these are easy to argue against if you’re a morally bankrupt right wing Christian.

    “It says when you lend money to the poor, but the kids going to college aren’t poor. Just look at the kids these days, they always have money for iPhones and marijuanas.”

    “Well it’s the government lending money, that Bible verse is just meant for individual people, from brother to brother” (this is the response from my dad when I asked why he wasn’t Communist when the Bible teaches sharing money and not being greedy)

    “These kids have to learn how the real world works, I mean how else will these companies survive if they can’t charge interest?”

    “I believe that but, as much as I want to, we can’t change the law just for my religion!” (Proceeds to ignore this before and after because they truly have no shame and aren’t affected or concerned by hypocrisy)

    “If you’re a Christian, surely you know the verse 'Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s… ’ so these kids should be rendering all that interest to the people it belongs to”

    Probably some other batshit crazy arguments. Our government sucks
