Hi yall,

Dave Ramsey is a popular Christian financial advisor who has a media empire. He is based out of Nashville, TN. Dave Ramsey famously hates debt for everything except 15 year mortgages. He does not believe in good debt and bad debt. All debt is bad to him except 15 year mortgages. He wants everyone to buy a home in cash. He became so anti-debt because he got rich flipping houses and then proceeded to go bankrupt and lose everything in the 80's.

He eventually wrote a book and got a radio show and then the rest was history. He says he teaches what the Bible says about money although I just think he cherry picks it because he is a near-billionaire. He is about as rich as Kenneth Copeland and he got all that money from teaching the Bible. The Bible condemns people who peddle God's word for profit by calling then hucksters. Do you think that Dave Ramsey peddles God's word for money??? I know I made a similar thread but I decided to devote a entire thread to Dave Ramsey by himself.

I don't know if he peddles the Bible, but his financial advice is rather unrealistic.

I don't know either, but he doesn't seem like the kind of chap I'd want to listen to:
