Heavens yes! Treat them no different than any other person you do business with.

If you are going to do business with a religious person or not, I would still want to get my business plans in writing. This will not make you or them look bad. They should understand that this is in writing is for business puposes.

yes, in any business practice you should get it in writing. There are honest religious people, and there are dishonest religious people. Remember, the Pharisees were beloved by all the people during the time of Jesus, because they seemed to be very righteous, but Jesus called them white washed tombs, because of what was on the inside. It's sad- because religious people should be among the most honest on the planet, especially Christians, but I have found in all my years of dealing with them that many are no different than pagans in their practices. Protect yourself in writing.

You should get any kind of business deal in writing, no matter what! I learned that one the hard way. Religious people are equally likely to screw somebody over as non-religious people.

Funny you should say that. I just finished my 2 year contract with the local gym, owned by a very loud and self righteous born again. Well, he continued to rob my checking account for 3 months for dues I didn't owe. When I asked him to return the money he flat out said "No. Go ahead and take me to court!". The guy is a thief with the moral fortitude of a cockroach, yet he thinks he's better than me because he prays to Jesus.
Problem is, I did have it in writing but if I wanted to pursue legal action I'd be out a couple grand in attorney fees and court costs.
Maybe this "good Christian" missed the part about "thou shall not steal"?

God has given us wisdom, now we should use it. It is only good business sense to get it in writing no matter who they are or who they may be and who they say they are. Only to find out later they weren't at all what they said they were.
Some people use Christianity as a tool that is in their favor.
If there may be a business checking account or a business credit card, make sure it take yours and the other business partner to sign both documents.
Assume Nothing!
This protects you and don't allow any one to talk you out of it.

I don't see any difference here based on religious belief. I get things in writing no matter what the other person believes.

Yeah, you know you can believe everything in writing? They even put stuff in small print so that it can fit on the paper these days. You know the bible originally had some parts done up in small print that was meant to be in the bible but on the way to the copiers the guy tripped with the original manuscript and papers where burned and damaged, so he collected what he had and the rest is well, the bible.
Lesson one if you call yourself any type of tranaction business get it in writing.

If you're going to do business with ANY person, you should get contracts in writing.
Verbal contracts rarely hold up in court, regardless of the religious affiliation of the involved parties.

That has nothing to do with a religious person, you should get everything in writing when you deal with anyone.
