Signs Of The Apocalypse #82

[Liar]

So this Christian group decided that it would be a good idea to gather and have a prayer session for the ailing economy. Sure, by all means, bless their cotton socks and all that. People are hurting from the wall street collapse, and it can't hurt to try, right?

That was until I saw the pictures.

But sweet screwin' Jesus on a pink pogo stick did you have to go praying for money IN FRONT OF A GOLDEN BOVINE IDOL?!?

Seriously. This just pushed the boundaries of irony to a whole new level.

The Golden Bull is a statue on Wall Street, for you who didn't know.

With all due respect to you, Liar, maybe this thread should have been titled "Signs that we're inundated with idiots #82". But I agree with your general premise.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Yeah, I hardly think that investment bankers and stock brokers are the heart and soul of the economy. Why not go pray in front of a casino, for Heaven's sake?

I'm all for that

Bow to Mammon.

Snerk.

One of the first things you give up when you become a true believer of any sort is your sense of irony.

I don't think there's a lot of difference. Casinos always have the house edge, even with those who really know the odds, so they will always win in the long run. Brokers and bankers take a cut off the top of everything, and will always win too, no matter how other people's securities do. They are like bookies in suits.

God, I guess, lol. http://images.adultmatchdoctor.com/image/forums/emoticons/8.gif

Unbelievable.

The last time shit like this went down, Moses decended from the mountain with The Ten Commandments.

I suppose nowdays he'll drive up in a limo with The Ten Suggestions.

Yeah, but he was royally pissed when he saw them worshipping the golden idol.

Then we'd have another market crash.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

Dayuuuum! These Christians better hope that they are wrong about Jesus and all. Because if he really is God, they're royally screwed in the afterlife.

The words, "depart from me, I never knew you" sound oddly appropriate at this point.

 

[jomar]

I am at once both impressed and disappointed no one went for the 'bullshit' joke begging to be unleashed.

Hey now, we've got more class than that.




Eh, who am I kidding?

Hey now, we've got more class than that...

You're making restraint difficult!

Yahweh is not going to like this.

And, if they are right, they are still royally screwed, because one thing God won't stand for is worshipping idols. Expecially golden ones. That was the first of the ten commandments.

I think that's what the entire thread is about.

Yep. So mad he smashed the commandments, forced everyone t melt the idol, powder the gold, put it in liquid and drink it, and then went back up to get a second set of commandments.

Which is how we ended up stuck with those commandments as god said, "Hey, you break-em, you buy 'em!"
