Many “cyber crimes”, aren’t that big of a deal. But the government really likes to make an example out of people. Some legit offenders get away almost scotch free in comparison.

Jesus never, not once, went to the mat for doctrine. Yet every split and schism in the church happened because of our stubborn insistence that others must profess the “right” beliefs. We have expended huge amounts of resources and goodwill, defending the very aspect of religious life Jesus valued least. This is the great irony of Christ’s church — a significant number of its members care more about believing certain things _about_ Jesus, than following his example of love and service. If the church were Christian, mirroring the compassion of Jesus would be more important than echoing the orthodoxy that has built up around him.

Can I get an Amen?? (via mommybird)
AMEN! Jesus taught us about living in relationship, which is what YHWH had been trying to get across to Israel for centuries. Christianity is, therefore, not a religion of right belief or even right behavior. Christianity is a faith of right relationship, of living with God and living with one another.
Doctrine is a tool that helps us to see how Jesus models right relationship for us, but it is there merely to guide us into relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and not to be the be-all and end-all of Christianity.
Want to be a Christian? Live with God and love God. Use this loving relationship with God to live with and love everyone else. Everything else follows from this.

WASHINGTON – The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has revealed a previously unknown type of oil-eating bacteria, which is suddenly flourishing.
Scientists discovered the new microbe while studying the underwater dispersion of millions of gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf following the explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.
And the microbe works without significantly depleting oxygen in the water, researchers led by Terry Hazen at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory reported Tuesday in the online journal Science Express.
“Our findings, which provide the first data ever on microbial activity from a deepwater dispersed oil plume, suggest” a great potential for bacteria to help dispose of oil plumes in the deep-sea, Hazen said in a statement.
Good news for the day.
These microbes will be able to help in the areas that aren’t so bad but they don’t stand a chance against the real trouble spots - some of the oil slicks are simply just too big and they won’t be able to do much. Nonetheless, it’ll be interesting to see how this pans out, especially with the disgusting amounts of Corexit.
all we need now is a microbe that eats corrupt organizations…

Isn’t there a saying that the best indicator of how a man will treat his wife is how he treats his mother? Maybe there’s something to that!
Niger has been hit by a double disaster as recent floods compound an existing food crisis, a UK aid agency warned. Aid workers are struggling to help thousands of people affected by the floods which have hit many areas of West and Central Africa. Oxfam says the situation is stretching resources to the limit as it also tries to respond to the food shortages. The agency urged donors to help Niger face what it calls a second emergency. Oxfam issued its warning as nearly eight million people, or half the population, are already facing hunger because of failed harvests. Now more than 100,000 people have been left homeless after heavy rains washed away their homes earlier this month, according to the United Nations.

“Well let me tell you about Halliburton, the company I ran. I’m very proud of what I did at Halliburton and the people of Halliburton are very proud of what they’ve accomplished. And, uh, I, frankly, uh, don’t feel any need to apologize for the way I’ve spent my time over the last five years as the CEO and chairman of a major American corporation.” — Vice President Dick Cheney in ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’
Michael Moore has uploaded a very important scene from his documentary ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ to his YouTube account. The military industrial complex was something Eisenhower and Roosevelt warned us about and it continues to be ever more relevant as our wars progress into what feels like a never ending saga of conflict.
