Joshua, people can harbor whatever religious beliefs they want. 
Just because they're not ours doesn't mean we can bash them. If 
Beth's religion prevents her from using loans, she'll just have 
to be resourceful and find another way to solve her problem.

You know, that some go to extremes.
This isn't the religion discussion list, but I'm tired of people 
using
that as an excuse.
Sounds like people using religion to not take their child to the 
doctor.
Blessings, Joshua

 Well, ... ok, someone made a point that we owe a trillion 
dollars
 in student loan debt, including the federal government loans.
 Some religions, such as Islam, prohibit interesft, which loans
 accrue.  I know a blind Muslim student or two going to college
 who can't do loans, so he has to rely heavily on Rehab to pay 
for
 it.  The only reason I think Rehab's paying for it is because
 he's on SSI, holds a Gree Card, is not a citizen of the U.S., 
and
 is/was until recently on refugee status in Somalia.
 Thanks.

 Uh, Beth, what does that have to do with absolutely anything?

  This message regards financial aid.  Wasif, you said FAFSA 
won't
  pay if my GPA is below    2.0.  Well, I have SSI and can't pay
  for school even with loans.  Loans aren't worth crap, and
  government loans aren't worth crap either.  I say this because
  some students, even Muslim students, can't pay the loans back
  because interesft is considered Riba, or evil.  You can't 
borrow
  money from banks due to religious reasons, and that's the truth
  for some people.
