Yea, I wonder what it would be like to live in a culture, in a civilization, without usury. I think it'd be pretty nice.

Also, isn't most important stuff older than Jesus? Like, he's a bit of a best-of compilation, right? Not to denigrate the story, I'm a big fan.

It's out there - look up "Islamic finance" (or Islamic banking)

Oh yeah, I know about that.

There's a lot of other baggage with that one particular culture.

I forgot to stipulate a lot of other things besides just lack of usury that I would like to have in a culture.

It might just be that lack of usury leads to economic stagnation.
