Jesus People Pray That False Idol Will Save God’s Economy

October 29, 2008


Did you know that some Christian dingbat has dubbed today the “Day of Prayer for the World’s Economies?” Well here they are, at the Wall Street bull statue thing, praying to Jesus for money.

The dingbat has explained, “We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the ‘Lion’s Market,’ or God’s control over the economic systems.”

Don’t they know that God taking over the economic systems would be SOCIALISM from SPACE? Also: God will be very mad that they are worshiping a bronze idol here, since his second commandment PROHIBITS THAT, duh? Thank you Wonkette operative “Dan the Man” for the sexy photo.

- Talk about your monumental biblical FAIL! Haven't we seen this movie before???

The idea that Christians would go down to the street of the money-changers (you remember, the guys whose asses Jesus whipped), and pray for those bastard bankers who are at the middle of our current economic crisis to recover, get richer and do it all over again, by laying hands on their idol -- THE BULL -- well, it is just mindboggling. But absolutely DELICIOUS IRONY!!! :P

And after all of that time and effort that Moses spent, not to mention all those other guys after him, of trying to break the Hebrews from the habit of worshipping these idols. And yet here they are 4,000 or so years later and they're still stroking the bull.

And as I recall, when Moses got back from his little chat with Yahweh and came down from the mountain only to find his people dancing and frolicking with the bull, he had all those mofo@#$@ing idolaters whacked. Every-single-one-of-them. Obviously. Cause it was the rulz, and thus out of his hands.

I guess one could call it the first "bull market correction...."

1. This didn't go over too well last time we tried it.

At least this time no one's around to make us drink molten gold.

(Way to make us look bad in front of the other religions. Except the Hindus.)

[DeSwiss]

7. Well....

...I suppose it depends upon whom you're referring to. It didn't go too bad for Aaron and his group who tried in vain to stop them. As a result of Moses' death sentence on the backsliders, the priesthood was firmly establish as THE AUTHORITY not to fuck with. And every religion created since as followed in their footsteps.

- So it worked out quite well for them....

2. Jesus people praying to false idol

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

[ashling]

3. Bad combination. Stupid People & Large Groups can make for dumb decisions faster

than any two things faster than any combination other than handguns and Tequilla.

[DeSwiss]

8. Nor should we ever underestimate....

...the stupidity of people associated with http://www.cbn.com/700club/guests/bios/cindy_jacobs102008.aspx">CBN and The 700 Club

4. I spend time defending Christians BUT this is unbelievable

these people are jokes

[DeSwiss]

9. Hmmmm.....

...I suppose everyone should have a hobby.

[knitter4democracy]

5. Wow. That's messed up. Just . . . wow.

Laying hands on the golden calf, I see. Hmm.

And these types are usually the first to scream idolatry at us Orthodox and Catholics who have icons of Christ and the saints in our homes. Ummm . . . that's so very messed up.

[cosmik debris]

6. Jesus must be spinning in his grave!

Oh wait.

Never mind

:)

[knitter4democracy]

11. Nah, I'll bet he's laughing his ass off.

I've always assumed God has a massive sense of humor. :)

[cosmik debris]

17. Yeah but, that was the part that was carved in stone. n/t

:)

[DeSwiss]

13. Hehe.

[DeSwiss]

10. Two words:

http://www.cbn.com/700club/guests/bios/cindy_jacobs102008.aspx">Pat Robertson

- That is all....

[knitter4democracy]

12. Oh my. You know, you have to be careful with prophecy.

It's supposed to be tested and tested and more tested. Come on, does praying at the golden calf sound like a sound Christian decision? Praying for the economy I guess I can understand (especially if you're praying for the least of these and how to know how to be Christlike for them), but laying hands on the golden calf because someone thought God told her to?! *shudder* Seriously messed up.

[DeSwiss]

14. In January of this year....

...Cindy Jacobs was in a worship service when the Lord spoke to her, “Cindy, the strongman over America doesn’t live in Washington, DC – the strongman lives in New York City! Call My people to pray for the economy.”

- Unfortunately, as often happens with Yahweh's lousy picks, that strongman he told her about was the former CEO of Lehman Brothers. Who was even then obviously working for the other side...

[knitter4democracy]

18. I do wonder why she didn't try to figure that out.

The strongman obviously wasn't a good force. Maybe they're praying for the wrong thing now, and God's shaking His head and wondering why He even tried to warn her that everything was going to fall apart, that the bank bailout was going to be a horrific failure, and that the least of these were going to get screwed.

[TKolmsi]

15. Wow

A bit more mature than the golden calf, but kind of the Bible come to life.

Sheesh.

[DeSwiss]

16. From Golden Calf....

...to Wall Street Bull. And later to be further transformed into a "Lion's Market." Or so they pray. I'm not sure where the "Lamb of God" metaphor should be in all this.

- But a "Sheep Market" would be a more accurate metaphor, considering the $770 Billion that was recently shorn from our hides....

[Crowman1979]

19. Now god has banished the religious reich from ever holding political office ever again!

After pulling this BS. LOL

[DeSwiss]

20. Now....

...if he'd just banish Pat Robertson from the teevee, he'll have accomplished something useful.

- Finally....
