Golden Calf, Redux

The end is near!

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?

While I'm not sure about the Wonkette's exegesis/application of Exodus 20 in this particular case, I'll agree that the whole thing is more than a bit creepy.

On a related note: sometimes vandalism can be funny. Not saying that Christians should go around defacing Caesar's statues, but...
