Loans are eventually paid off. Subsidies are forced payments from one party to enable another to perform a venture at a cost below what the market would bear. Cellphone plans do not drop off when the "loan" is "repaid" at the end of the contract—if you keep your phone longer than two years, you continue to subsidize the carrier.

Even though the Bible never actually claims to be the word of God (in fact, it never claims to be true or accurate either)

Well, what does the Bible say on the subject?

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

II Timothy 3:16 (WEB)

No -- I know I'm in the minority here on /., but I'm actually pretty old-fashioned and am religious. I've read accounts of the system behind eHarmony, and in my case, I think the red flag I hit was that I'm "too pessimistic" -- apparently I saw the "I'm completely happy with my life in every way exactly as it is right now" option, took it literally, and chose "Disagree strongly" because I was NOT happy being single. Kind of a Catch-22, but if they only want to break up happy couples, more power to 'em, but they won't be doing that to ME.
