Since I consider myself to be an average Christian, I will tell you what I do, considering you said: "Doomsday preaching bible beating prophets" I will take a wild guess and say that includes me. I do have money to invest, as I would say most Christians do,(dispite your snarky comment) and
I consider one of the greatest investments I make to be my tithe. so to respond to part of your rant yep I give money to God. Going on, I too asked my "money man" from Hilliard Lyons what he thought I should be doing......this was just prior to the collapse because I sensed something was not right and he said all is well; you are invested in a broad spectrum of available offereings, you are split in %ages that look good and safe, remember the market does this kind of thing all the time. His response to me, so similar to what you say your guy told you that one might think they are the same guy!
Well I lost a boat load.......as did a lot of people. Had I listened to that small still voice and my gut I would have moved my money where I "felt" it should have gone and today I would be far ahead of the game. Noone is saying the market doesnt do what it does and this wasnt another "gulp". America today is different with almost no manufacutring to fall back on and being that we are closer to an actual world economy than not, it is very important how Greece ( Spain, France et al) got into the spot it is in now and sadly, we are it seems headed there taking the same road and learning no lessons.
So to those who are apologists for this administration and think nothing is wrong in how it is dealing with our nation and nothing is going on........thats what the "money guys" of the 30's said right before the Great Depression. BTW....no money in my mattress, no room with all the ammo
