Is Wall Street Meeting God's Expectations?

What if God was an analyst?

[font color=purple](what if the WSJ was a News Source?)[/font]

Earlier this week on MarketWatch, I looked at how scripture is used to reinforce, justify or vilify economic activity from taxation to bank fees.

In researching that column, one passage in the New Testament kept coming up. More than any other, it addressed the financial world. In fact, it is probably the most cited scripture on Wall Street when it comes to validating the investing and trading with the spiritual life.

Perhaps not incidentally, the passage comes from Matthew, whose profession is one of the few among the disciples that was identified. Matthew was a tax collector before he followed Jesus, according to the scriptures.

Not to make light of it, but who better to pass on financial guidance than someone whose legacy institutions include the Internal Revenue Service?

the rest of this bullshit:
