I think a distinction needs to be drawn between criticizing p2p lending as immoral and criticizing it as a bad investment opportunity. Personally, I believe that money should be regarded as a commodity just like any other and don’t have a problem with people buying and selling it. An argument grounded in “debt=slavery” probably won’t convince me not to use a p2p service. On the other hand, I’m still unsure of the merits of p2p lending as a business venture. Arguments on that level are much more likely to influence my decisions about where to place my money.
