I saw a headline once on Yahoo.com that claimed more and more people were turning to the Bible for financial advice.
This is very odd to me. If you found a copy of the Wall Street Journal that was over 2000 years old, would you take the “Hot Stock Tips” or would you find them just a tad out of date?
It also brought up a few more points in my mind…I’m no financial wizard but please bear these in mind before you go rushing to The Book of Isiah for your investment portfolio.
1. If your broker’s advice to you is “Render unto Caesar what is his”, get a new broker.
2. I’m curious to know, what exactly the rate of return is on 30 pieces of silver?
3. Here’s a hot tip, there’s a lumberyard near old Noah’s place that looks to do very promising business this year.
4. If you’ve got your money in Sodom and Gomorrah…SELL!! SELL!
5. “Honor Thy Father and Mother” is not financial advice, just so you know.
6. If you’ve got money in Lazurus Industries Inc…hang on to your stocks, I think they may just come back from the dead.
7. Let him who hath understanding Reckon the Number of the Beast….for it is a human number the Number is six hundred and sixty six…percent interest
8. A little bird told me that Egypt is about to lose major amount of their workforce after an already sharp income downturn thanks to plagues, frogs, locusts, and river blood. Invest accordingly.
9. There’s a good chance of a Bull Market…provided someone doesn’t sacrifice it to God
10. Do unto others…with an interest rate of at least 12%



Meh. These sound so much like the boring copy-and-paste joke emails regularly posted on snopes.com that I had to check Google just to make sure they were your own. Kudos for coming up with your own jokes, at least.
A serious note for your satirical piece: Here are two good blogs for Bible-related financial advice. I was surprised to find that there’s a lot you can get out of this field of study.

Judge not lest…uhhh something else happen. To you. Or something.
I can assure you the boring content is 100% ours. We can be called of a lot of things (see any of the Superhero Smackdown articles) but plagiarizers we’re not.
We work tirelessly to ensure that all our lame, unfunny, stupid, and asinine content is all original.
Well, at least you have your integrity (as far as this blog is concerned anyway)
