sometimes it takes an atheist...

...to remind people what the Bible actually says.

Pharyngula gives Wall Street an old lesson, Exodus 32, after some Christians decided to pray at the golden bull.

There's also that whole bit about pray in silence inside your own closet rather than make a big deal of it out on the street (those who do have got their own reward by being "seen to be so pious")

Hebrews. There were not yet any Christians during the time of Exodus.

?

this isn't talking about the events in Exodus as such. This is today (click the link for the picture). Christians were praying at the Golden Bull that's near Wall Street (most NYC tour buses go by it), touching it just like a scene from that Heston movie.

Theoretically, the commandment against idol worship still applies to Christians.

Actually, I misread your link. I parsed "Exodus 32, wherein Christians decided to pray..." instead of "After some Christians decided to pray... Pharyngula reminded them about Exodus."

Sure there were! Christians and Dinosaurs walked the earth together once. I saw a historical film about it. It was proof positive of Creationism called "The Flintstones"!

"If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for me." Oh -- the irony!

Hee. So, we are repeating history, and soon our "Moses" will come down, yell at everyone, and set us back on the Right Path...when is the election?
