You didn't say insane things like "some things don't return a profit, but are still valuable". You were way more reasonable in the lending/interest discussion and brought up the good points about halal loans.

Maybe she meant "solely financial profit" and I misunderstood her, which I'm open to learning. She could clarify if she hadn't muted me, but here we are.

if you would put aside some time to read some good treatises on economics, the most seminal one being Ludwig von Mises magnum opus Human Action you would understand that profit is not only about monetary gain it is also about anything that is perceived as a gain to the profitee... so a philanthropist sees a gain from seeing people pull themselves out of a mess by their help, and yet they net lose money

I've read a lot of Mises, including chunks of Human Action and many books derived from Mises's work by other authors.

that's what she was talking about, you just saw the christian part and ignored the charity part
