The Golden Calf Is Not A Metaphor

I used to think the story of The Golden Calf was just that, a story, more symbolic than real. But the events of the past several years have caused me to rethink this.



Yes, I know this is photoshopped. 


However, what is frightening is that it really does not seem that outside of the realm of reality. 


After all, Jim Bakker is peddling trinkets such as this:

Trump Cyrus Gold Coin


And though they've modernized, Lord knows that TBN has a strange fetish with tacky gold decor.




No matter how I try, I just can't escape the feeling that something is very, very wrong with all of this and that we've veered down a detour from which there is no turning back.
