Jesus people pray to massive bronze bull for money...

So, okay. Ten Commandments is like, one of my favourite fucking movies ever. If this can happen in real life, this right here, well damn it all! I want a tall, muscular, gorgeous Russian-born Egyptian King to come into my life and make me fabulous like Anne Baxter Nefertiri.

Now, I'm an advocate for the Bible being cut down to the relevant parts with Jesus, since's it's any way a cut and paste version of the original texts. But if the Bible is supposed to be perfect as it is (*cough* written by God as it is *cough*) how about paying attention to all of it instead of the parts that seems nice. People blow up these couple of bits about buttsex, and take them out of context, but then they go and break against the far bigger and more important parts.

"he who is without sin"
"thou shall not have other gods/idols"
"it's more difficult for a rich man to go to Heaven than it is for a camel to go through a needle's eye"
"shall we let our sister be treated as a whore?" (Best reason for slaughtering a city ever!)

(Although I must admit that I've considered going through the instances in the Bible where God's rooting for the guys that are breaking his rules, while people are made to suffer for the actions of others. I generally don't consider the Bible to be morally consistant. Which is a pet peeve I have had since I was a kid, since I like moral consistancy and appearantly that isn't modern these days. *cough* Harry Potter *cough*)

“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. “While we do not have the full revelation of all this will entail, we do know that without intercession, economies will crumble.”

I like Bible-bashing-bashing as much as the next guy but it sounds like they are praying near the bull rather than to the bull. The bull appears to be a symbol of what they *don't* want to run the economy rather than something they want to intercede on their behalf.

They were putting their hands on the thing and praying. It's nutty enough for me to shake my head.
