[Poll #1573839]

A conversation last night brought into question whether Frank Miller's 300 actually contained *all* the Catholic schoolboy fetishes or not. The obvious rejoinder was that it clearly lacked Catholic Schoolgirls (having been set before the invention of plaid skirts). On further thought, however, I wonder if this fetish is actually correlated with Catholicism or not.

(I myself am a weird border case. I spent a few years in a Catholic grammar school, and it was during that period that I first began to think that girls might be something other than icky...)

I recently posted an entry which presumed that your average Christian would have heard the story of the Golden Calf at some point. Yesterday, I found myself waiting in line at the pharmacy next to a bookcase full of various god-bothering books. I surveyed three different Kiddie Bibles, to see if they covered the Golden Calf. One did, but the other two did not. Just a random anecdotal data point for your afternoon...

...a Day of Prayer for the World’s Economies on Wednesday, October 29, 2008. They are calling for prayer for the stock markets, banks, and financial institutions of the world on the date the stock market crashed in 1929. They are meeting at the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank, and its 12 principal branches around the US that day.

“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.”
Um, I'm not a Christian, and even I've read as far as Exodus in their Bible:
32:7 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. 8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.'

9 "I have seen these people," the LORD said to Moses, "and they are a stiff-necked people. 10 Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them.
What were they thinking?!?
