PEOPLE are worshipping the Wall Street bull in order to save the stock market.
Via Boing Boing:
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.”
Sounds familiar:
8They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
They prayed before a statue of a golden bull on Wall Street.

It is not prayers, but actions we all need. I do believe in god, but I don’t believe that he is going to get us out of this mess. Aren’t we supposed to learn from our mistakes and understand that our actions lead to certain consiquences?

Actually, they are not praying to the Bull. In Christian terms, they are praying against it (literally & spiritually) because it represents an ancient Idol and symbol of power.
As to whom they are praying, and why: if they are praying to Jesus for more money, I am sorry for them. If they are praying for God to BAIL WALL STREET out so the nation will not go under economically, maybe we should give them a high-five ( whether we “believe” or not, we would benefit, If there is a God and his answer is yes!)

It’s not Alan Greenspan, it’s Ben Bernanke who is Chairman of the Federal Reserve Committee now. This stock market problem started during billyboy clinton’s administration when Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae started giving out home mortgage loans to people who could not afford them, which in turn made mortgage companies, now banks start falling like a house of cards, next will probably be insurance companies. The republicans were trying to do some repair to these bad mortgage loans a few years ago, but the House of Representatives and Congress are democrats and were stonewalling the Republicans all along. All of this information is on the web. Articles and youtube are loaded with info. Oh, and I never heard of that rubbing the bull for good luck in the stock market, but if it’d work, what the heck.

Worshipping the BULL? Well, I suppose its a lot less dangerous than kissing Alan Greenspan’s arse.
