The Golden Calf Will Save Our Bank Accounts!

Wow, this image of praying on the golden bull sure does strike an interesting note of hypocrisy.

The idea here is that these people can pray away the economic worries of the world, merely by congregating at pre-determined spots and demanding intercession from God. This apparently went down yesterday, at a coordinated time. Not only does this sound very pagan, it's laughably self-important. The idea that a single person's prayer, much less a group of people, for money would sway the cosmos is extremely narcissistic.

But whatever, these are the same people that believe in praying away the gay, etc., blah blah. Good for them though, at least they are trying to do something about this crisis. You know, I've always believed praying to a symbolic statue for global change is extremely effective… if for no other reason than we can all look and see who the idiots are that should have absolutely no control over anything in this world.
