Christians Worship a Golden Calf... er... Bull
Yes, kids. This is a picture of Christians gathered 'round a Golden Bull praying.
Honestly, I think this is one of the best self-pwnages I've ever seen.

Fucking idolaters. They should look out for the ground opening them up and swallowing them whole, much like Dathan in the Desert following the Exodus.
Admittedly, a bunch of them did pray for gas to go down and that happened...right after the governments of the Western world nationalized their financial institutions. Maybe the economy will improve in the same way...right after we legalize prostitution, heroin and machine guns.

Dude...
Just...dude...
How stupid can people get? Have they no idea just how ironic this is? I thought the golden calf story was one of the most recognizible stories of the Bible? I've known it since I was a kid, and I've never been exposed to the Bible like these people must have been.
I know they have no idea what the 30 years war was, and think the capital of Italy is Fettucini, but you'd at least expect them to know the Bible that they've devoted their whole lives to.
If they haven't filled their heads with knowlegde about the world, AND they haven't filled it with the Bible, then what exactly do they spend their time filling their heads with? The lyrics to God Bless America? I know those too (taught myself the other day, just for the hell of it).
Well I was born an original sinner
I was spawned from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin
It never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I see or read the extraordinary level of plain dumb ignorance that crazed bible thumpers will stoop to. Just when you thought they couldn't possibly get any thicker...

If I'm not careful, I'm going to start thinking that fundamentalists have an infinite capacity for stupidity, and that would make me rethink my entire model of the universe, since I don't believe in the reality of the infinite.

"How stupid can people get?"
Me: There may well be no practical limit to the stupidity of some. I, myself, was scandalized a while back to see a patently obvious interloper go completely undetected in a Promise Keeper's rally. This was even after he had signed a piece of paper (...I forget what it was about...) as "Satan's Big Cock." What's even more shocking is that--unless I miss my guess--these are people who would tell you that Roman Catholic Christians are "idolaters," and, of course, "not true Christians." (All those Rosaries are just so objectionable. For what it's worth, the golden calf story certainly was a part of my (Catholic) religious upbringing.
Oh, but everyone knows that the capital of Italy is Lasagna. That's why Weird Al wrote a song about it.
As for filling their own heads with knowledge of any sort...this is starting to look to me like empirical evidence that these folks flatly refuse to fill their heads with knowledge of any sort.

"Just when you thought they couldn't possibly get any thicker..."
Me: I'll second that.

Hell, they might have a good idea. I'm about ready to start praying for my investments too. Talk about desperate!

Ah but everyone knows those aren't True Christians
Seems like a small step up to me. Afterall, you CAN see and touch that thing. That doesn't make it a god, but it's still an improvenment over using a figmant of imagination as a crutch.
If they do read the Bible, they should know that god has the power of a unicorn and has shortcomings when dealing with iron chariots. Modern iron chariots are quite a bit scarier complete with rolling tracks and a big ass cannon. Let's see god handle that!
