Its worth nothing that most of these people were indoctrinated into their beliefs since they were born, and many of them attend church weekly to reaffirm their beliefs. They were raised surrounded by christians, were told christianity is true, and think that if you question god you will be consciously tortured for eternity. They’re not just a bunch of idiots.
Are you conflating the stock market with god? Are you stupid? The stock market is not a “thing” in the same way that math is not a “thing”. God, or at the very least the christian god, is an actual being that supposedly exists and wants everyone to know it.
They’re not even remotely similar.
Edit: also, you know, we can actually interact with the stock market.
The stock market certainly feels like those archaic gods that demand sacrifices (working people’s sweat and blood) every other day while behaving in “mysterious ways”
If someone is claiming God is on their side, then absolutely they should not be trusted.
A good example was Huckabee’s message to Trump where he says he shouldn’t listen to humble old Huckabee, but he should listen to God, who, coincidentally, is saying exactly the same thing as Huckabee.
If you have your faith but make no assertions about it’s validity over other opinions nor that it confers divine authority to the words or deeds of any person, cool, I respect that faith. I’m inclined to have some faith myself, but I’m not about to claim any of it is more than my personal wild guesses and hope.
However organized religion is generally exploitable and bad people take advantage…
If you distrust someone because of their religious beliefs, you’re probably a bad person.
Then again, I don’t trust Christians. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Wait… why? Why is it bad to distrust someone who believes in an invisible friend who grants wishes well into their 30s?

That’s why a friend of mine is a 37 y/o virgin. 3 more years and he can cut out the middle man.
You can trust someone without expecting pure rationality from them
Oh my god you people are real.
Y’all believe in the stock market don’t you?

You need to tweak your bot. It’s replying to the wrong thread with unrelated nonsense.
So many stock market deniers.

You don’t? Man. How the fuck does money work?
