MAKING IT UP AS THEY BLOW ALONG?

Mankind’s knack for doing away with its kindred spirits has always found newer and more horrific avenues for infamously innovative expression.

The 9 / 11 incident showed clearly that a potent weapon could be made out of an entire aircraft and its momentum, as long as the precisely calculated and researched twisted-scheme has willing suicidal implementers.

Of course, my use of ‘twisted’ in the preceding line is not in reference to a warped state of mind but, rather, to the condition of equating the act of the sinner to the punishment of the judge and jury.

Please feel free to choose whom the goat-cum-sinner or judge-and-jury-cum-sheep actually is in this case. Apparently, the end is nowhere in sight yet, as the following depicts:

Four arrested with TNT in Mumbai

Four people carrying more than 6kg (14lb) of explosives have been arrested near a suburban railway station in the Indian city of Mumbai, police say.

The four were detained at the busy Andheri station after a tip-off.
Police have said they do not know whether the four were intending to detonate the explosives or were delivering them to others.

Last July more than 180 people were killed when seven bombs exploded in trains and at stations in Mumbai.

About 700 people were injured in those attacks.

Dozens of people have been charged with involvement in the attacks, which India blamed on its rival, Pakistan. Pakistan denied any involvement.

The four people arrested on Saturday were carrying trinitrotoluene, usually known as TNT.

"They were arrested with the TNT at Andheri following a tip off," V K Choubey, a senior police officer, told the AFP news agency.

The arrests come days before India celebrates Republic Day on 26 January.
The holiday has often been used as a pretext for launching attacks by separatists and protesters. ]

Greenville, Rhode Island bakery owned by the Cavanagh family, which uses the plant to produce church communion bread from just water and bread. That business is known to produce about 850 million sacramental wafers annually and to supply 80% of the Holy Communion bread used in American, Australian, Canadian, and British churches. The only middlemen in the supply chain are nuns living in convents! Now they want to expand to West Africa with their Christian sacramental ware for Pentecostal, Catholic, 'New Wave', and Orthodox church offerings. I make reference to the so-called New Wave churches - my term for those churches that broke away from the orthodoxy of the Protestant fold, just as the latter roke off from the Catholic church by virtue of the exploits of Martin Luther centuries ago. Many new-wave and other church goers in the generally undeveloped West African subregion of Africa pay more to religious organizations in monthly tithes and offerings than they do to their government in personal income and value added taxes. Now, that last fact is quite interesting because it is an admission that a bakery in Rhode Island has seen a huge market in the center of Black Africa for small white perfectly laminated and non-crumbly holy wheat bread, reportedly costing "less than a penny" apiece, for the use of both the bible-reading and the bible-believing religious organizations. However, the picture from the Cavanagh's factory floor speaks volumes, in my own opinion, about the need for the company to watch its business ethics and to treat all customers equally irrespective of location, creed, or other discriminatory demographic information or criteria. So, I just hope and pray that the wafers falling off the conveyor belt and by the way side are not destined for West Africa and that the actual wafers delivered will be wheat bread and water, and not just glutamate-free bread and 'pure' water, if you get my point, even if so requested by some shady, greedy, and unethical businessmen over in West Africa.

In the summer of 2007, Pope Benedict XVI (BXVI) encouraged The Church to reach out to young people using new technologies, as he himself learned to send out cellphone text messages to the faithful. So in obedience, a tech savvy evangelizing Catholic priest got some help from a Web designer in order to write all the daily books of prayers into a low-cost computer software application downloadable onto the iPhone. Rev. Paolo Padrini's iTunes prayer book was officially approved by The Vatican's Pontifical Council for Social Communications in December 2008. Of course, all proceeds from the electronic prayer book venture will go to charity. Speaking of charitable behavior, The Holy See has seen it fit after 400 years to honor Galileo Galilei in 2009 as the "patron" of the non-mutual exclusivity of the faith versus reason dichotomy. That is very appropriate in this age of new technology, even though The Church still smarts from its error of judgment in calling the famous astronomer a heretic after he publicly embarrassed The Church by reporting that his scientific observations in Astronomy with his unique telescope had led him inexorably to believe that the Earth actually revolved around the sun, in direct opposition to the teaching of The Church at the time that Planet Earth was the center of the universe. In seeking to paint the Church in a new light of worldly knowledge by distancing itself from a past of imbibing pure dogma, The Vatican may have ventured to cross the final frontier and boundary between Science and Christianity by acknowledging recently that there could be life on planets other than the Earth!
