57029129_2348306605192530_8921987498725343232_nEaster is a good time to reflect on the content of the meme here.  It’s a reminder that we’re surrounded by two entirely different groups of “Christians”–those who live according to His teachings, and those who live in the precise opposite manner.

I know there are hateful, greedy pigs out there; that’s not the issue.  But why on Earth do they choose to call themselves “Christians” when their lives bear no connection whatsoever to that of Jesus?  A strange phenomenon in a bizarre world.

DIA-Brands-Singapore-OCBC-Bank-Branding-07From this article on the death of coal-fired power plants: (Singapore-based) OCBC Bank, South-east Asia’s second-largest lender, said two Vietnamese coal-fired power plants will be the last it finances as it increases funding for renewable projects. “We won’t do any new coal-fired power generation plants in any countries, except for the power projects that we are already in, or we have committed to,” chief executive Samuel Tsien said in an interview at its Singapore headquarters on Monday. “We hope that by doing this, we are encouraging the governments to do facilitating, arrangements for the countries to move from coal to renewable.” (more…)

Policemen detain a topless Femen activist after she jumped in front of the car carrying former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn (not seen) upon his arrival for his trial in Lille, northern France, on February 10, 2015.

Policemen detain activist

Of the roughly 9000 blog posts here, perhaps 100 or so mention political protests in one context or another, raising the question: do they have any value?  Understandably, this subject has received a great deal of study, especially since Donald Trump took office as President of the United States, bringing with him a torrent of protests concerning women, science, Muslims, the treatment of immigrants, pipelines, corruption/nepotism, police violence, climate change and the environment, LGBTQ rights, tax cuts for billionaires, etc. (more…)
