It's crazy to think that I was raised going to church every Sunday, and I had never even heard the word "usury", or even the idea that lending money at interest might be morally wrong, until I started reading gnostic christian texts. It's there, the ancient church used to talk about it, but we don't anymore.

It's weird to think that this entire piece of morality, which was taken seriously in the past, has just been erased from western culture.

Exactly. They change the names to something more palatable. "Usury" became "interest", so it's all good now. In reality, it's all the same parasitic morally bankrupt garbage.
