Honestly, There Are Too Many Jokes Here
Several blogs, and a couple fine souls, have alerted me to this story. I don’t think I can really improve on the blistering, soul-destroying irony on display here. So I’ll let you, dear readers, append your own punchline in the comments.
Exodus, Chapter 32.
“For these and other reasons Cindy [Jacobs] is calling for a Day of Prayer for the World’s Economies on Wednesday, October 29, 2008. They are calling for prayer for the stock markets, banks, and financial institutions of the world on the date the stock market crashed in 1929. They are meeting at the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank, and its 12 principal branches around the US that day. “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,” she said.”
If the economy does any worse, we may just see some temples to Pluto, Kubera, and Lu Hsing pop up soon.

uh, doesn’t this come awfully close to that idol worship, golden calf thing that a bunch of people got in trouble for???
Thats the point exactly
Not to mention “grabbing the bull by the horns”, “If you mess with the bull – you get the horns”, etc.
Heh. That is a picture of a thousand words. And buzzwords. And…well…you get it.
All hail to the mighty god Economius!
More like an altar to Mammon…..
Oh sure times get tough and see who they turn to!!!
