Christian Values Displayed Through Credit Offer

I recently received the following offer from my alma mater, a Christian Liberal Arts College:

ATTENTION
You can always carry more than one credit card. So why not
carry the card that lets you show your school pride. Plus, you
show your support every time you use it to make a purchase.
Now, the only officially-approved credit card for your
organization is offered by Bank of America. With superior
benefits and service, and no annual fee, it costs you
nothing to respond. Request yours today!

Translation:
ATTENTION
Hi! We know you have shelled out between $40,000 and $80,000 in undergraduate costs. We also realize that you are probably stuck in a low wage job because we have very few career placement services and you graduated with a liberal arts degree from a no name college. In addition, you are probably recently married because our marriage placement services our excellent. However, we would like you to support your alma mater with your increasing amounts of debt. We want you to completely buy into the American Dream of going further and further into debt by making as many frivolant purchases on futile products as possible. Please apply for this card so we can get YOUR money today! Remember: JESUS WILL BLESS YOU!
