Wall Street's Naked Swindle
A scheme to flood the market with counterfeit stocks helped kill Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers — and the feds have yet to bust the culprits
…To the rest of the world, the brazenness of the theft — coupled with the conspicuousness of the government's inaction — clearly demonstrates that the American capital markets are a crime in progress. To those of us who actually live here, however, the news is even worse. We're in a place we haven't been since the Depression: Our economy is so completely fucked, the rich are running out of things to steal.
If you squint hard enough, you can see that the derivative-driven economy of the past decade has always, in a way, been about counterfeiting. At their most basic level, innovations like the ones that triggered the global collapse — credit-default swaps and collateralized debt obligations — were employed for the primary purpose of synthesizing out of thin air those revenue flows that our dying industrial economy was no longer pumping into the financial bloodstream. The basic concept in almost every case was the same: replacing hard assets with complex formulas that, once unwound, would prove to be backed by promises and IOUs instead of real stuff. Credit-default swaps enabled banks to lend more money without having the cash to cover potential defaults; one type of CDO let Wall Street issue mortgage-backed bonds that were backed not by actual monthly mortgage payments made by real human beings, but by the wild promises of other irresponsible lenders. They even called the thing a synthetic CDO — a derivative contract filled with derivative contracts — and nobody laughed. The whole economy was a fake…
… The same is true for mortgages. When lenders couldn't find enough dope addicts to lend mansions to, some simply went ahead and started selling the same mortgages over and over to different investors. There are now a growing number of cases of such double-selling of mortgages: "It makes Bernie Madoff seem like chump change," says April Charney, a legal-aid attorney based in Florida. Just like in the stock market, where short-sellers delivered IOUs instead of real shares, traders of mortgage-backed securities sometimes conclude deals by transferring "lost-note affidavits" — basically a "my dog ate the mortgage" note — instead of the actual mortgage. A paper presented at the American Bankruptcy Institute earlier this year reports that up to a third of all notes for mortgage-backed securities may have been "misplaced or lost" — meaning they're backed by IOUs instead of actual mortgages.
How about bonds? "Naked short-selling of stocks is nothing compared to what goes on in the bond market," says Trimbath, the former DTC staffer. Indeed, the practice of selling bonds without delivering them is so rampant it has even infected the market for U.S. Treasury notes. That's right — Wall Street has actually been brazen enough to counterfeit the debt of the United States government right under the eyes of regulators, in the middle of a historic series of government bailouts! In fact, the amount of failed trades in Treasury bonds — the equivalent of "phantom" stocks — has doubled since 2007. In a single week last July, some $250 billion worth of U.S. Treasury bonds were sold and not delivered.
The counterfeit nature of our economy is troubling enough, given that financial power is concentrated in the hands of a few key players — "300 white guys in Manhattan," as a former high-placed executive puts it. But over the course of the past year, that group of insiders has also proved itself brilliantly capable of enlisting the power of the state to help along the process of concentrating economic might — making it less and less likely that the financial markets will ever be policed, since the state is increasingly the captive of these interests.
The new president for whom we all had such high hopes went and hired Michael Froman, a Citigroup executive who accepted a $2.2 million bonus after he joined the White House, to serve on his economic transition team — at the same time the government was giving Citigroup a massive bailout. Then, after promising to curb the influence of lobbyists, Obama hired a former Goldman Sachs lobbyist, Mark Patterson, as chief of staff at the Treasury. He hired another Goldmanite, Gary Gensler, to police the commodities markets. He handed control of the Treasury and Federal Reserve over to Geithner and Bernanke, a pair of stooges who spent their whole careers being bellhops for New York bankers. And on the first anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, when he finally came to Wall Street to promote "serious financial reform," his plan proved to be so completely absent of balls that the share prices of the major banks soared at the news.
The nation's largest financial players are able to write the rules for own their businesses and brazenly steal billions under the noses of regulators, and nothing is done about it. A thing so fundamental to civilized society as the integrity of a stock, or a mortgage note, or even a U.S. Treasury bond, can no longer be protected, not even in a crisis, and a crime as vulgar and conspicuous as counterfeiting can take place on a systematic level for years without being stopped, even after it begins to affect the modern-day equivalents of the Rockefellers and the Carnegies. What 10 years ago was a cheap stock-fraud scheme for second-rate grifters in Brooklyn has become a major profit center for Wall Street. Our burglar class now rules the national economy. And no one is trying to stop them.
Sobering… a great piece! In such a target rich environment you have to ask yourself how come there aren't more like Matt Taibbi? Or, as so many are now asking, "Where's the outrage?"

Patti Nelson brings us this weeks challenge over at TMITA/PCC. It was to make anything but a card with a birthday theme. I decided to make another candy bar wrapper. This one more for a boy. The colors seem a bit off here in my picture. All the blues are in the larger piece of paper, but you really can't see that very well. The ribbons are actually a bit brighter in blue, but they look really dark here, probably because I am taking the pic late in the evening. So, oh well... it really looks like it all goes much better in real life. Sometimes things just photograph that way!
This week has flown by and I hope to have new images uploaded this week. Our second graduated today and his party is this coming weekend. I hope things slow down for me after this weekend has past. So.. have great day and I am always thankful for you comments!

This is where I will blog about stuff that interests me.
I finally got around to refitting my EType gas tank. I first had the tank boiled out and coated with a rubberized tank coating to prevent rusting on the inside. Then I use glass bead media to strip the old paint and, while I know it isn't "original" I painted the tank with POR-15 to give it an extra bit of durability and rust resistance. I also applied some Road Kill sound dampening material in the boot where the tank sits.
I am going to start working on my E-Type again and will try to document things here, in this blog.
Plan to attend international car show tomorrow. The new Lotus will be there. I will have my Canon 7D in tow!
Well, another Christmas has come and gone. Yesterday was Christmas and we had the whole clan over. The son's and daughter-in-law came out Christmas Eve and spent the night so we could all get up early and open presents! I already knew what my "main" present was - a Canon 7D. My wife agreed to let me buy it early with the provision that I would let her wrap it and put it under the tree. I also got a couple of nice Hawaiian shirts from my SIL who just got back from Oahu.

Cloud storage leader Dropbox might have serious competition at last. LogMeIn has announced the beta of its rival 'Cubby' service, featuring higher data limits, a P2P data sync feature and the promise of user-managed encryption keys.
Built on top of the company's proprietary Gravity Data Service platform, Cubby offers some flexibility missing from Dropbox, starting with its more generous free storage allowance of 5GB; Dropbox gives users 2GB.
Users can also synch data in P2P fashion between computers without impinging on their data limit, although this does mean that at least two of them have to be turned on at the same time.
Usefully, the application allows users to synchronise any folder to the Cubby cloud rather than having to save files to a designated folder containing pre-defined sub-folders, which allows it to work seamlessly as a cloud backup service.
Files saved into the designated folder or folders are sent to the cloud the instant they are saved, with the user being given a helpful visual notification that this is happening. Users decide which files are synched to which devices to avoid expense and bloat; Android, iPad, iPhone, and Mac applications are available.
As with Dropbox, the service allows sharing, including to individuals. The application itself is simple to set up and use and is in good shape. During testing, Techworld experienced no crashes or freezes.
The looming issue for all such cloud storage and synch services - and the list of available services is growing rapidly - remains security. Where is the data being held, under which country's data protection laws and who can see it under what circumstances?
Although not available in the Cubby beta, LogMeIn said it would offer users the ability to hold their own encryption keys (data is of course encrypted when stored on Cubby servers) in the near future.
Elaborating on that, LogMeIn director or corporate communications, Craig VerColen offered this slightly ambiguous comment to Techworld:
"Currently data stored in Cubby is held within the US. LogMeIn is EU safe harbor compliant, and has a large base of customers (both big and small) in the EU - we do currently store data for a large number of our customers in the EU," he said.
"With regards to encryption laws, US users are allowed to hold encryption keys, and data encryption laws typically come into place when technology is exported. We comply with related US export laws."
Assuming the phrase "US export laws" (which restrict the export of encryption technology), users outside the US will be fine. The keys to data are being generated beyond the US and so are not being 'exported' as such.
The market question is how Google (said to be near to launching its own free service) and Microsoft (which has the relatively clunky SkyDrive) will react to a clutch of cloud storage services that appear to be matching and now beating both themselves and Dropbox in terms of innovation.
Dropbox has had its sercurity issues, notably an account flaw last June that allowed some users to log into accounts using any password. This followed revelations that Dropbox employees could bypass the system's file encryption if asked to do so by police, something that was stated in the service's revised terms and conditions.
Pricing for Cubby cloud storage beyond the 5GB has not been announced. The service is being offered on an invitation-only basis during the beta period.
This story, "LogMeIn Takes on Dropbox With 'Cubby' Cloud Storage" was originally published by Techworld.com.

Selig sees Mets headed in right direction
DENVER -- Commissioner Bud Selig was at Coors Field on Friday before the second game of a four-game series between the Mets and Rockies.
In addition to talking about the current state of the game, Selig expressed confidence the Mets are headed in the right direction.
"I am not the least bit concerned about the Mets' ability to compete at the Major League level," Selig said.
The Mets are proving Selig right. They entered play Friday in third place, three games over .500 and two games out of first in the National League East.
"I think the Mets are playing better," Selig said. "I think the Mets feel that they're better. And I have a lot of faith, not only in the Wilpons, but in [general manager] Sandy Alderson when he tells me that their farm system will produce the kind of talent they need to be better."
Waiting for said talent to arrive can be a tough process for Mets fans who are hoping the team can return to the playoffs for the first time since 2006.
"A lot of people get frustrated," Selig said. "But rebuilding a club through its farm system, it's a slow process. Branch Rickey used to say that it takes three to five years before you can judge a farm system or a trade. He was right.
"I've watched a lot of organizations, because this question comes up about other clubs, and you can see the byproducts of clubs with a true farm system working. It may not work as fast as you'd like, but the Mets have played much better this year so far, and the independent people that I know give the Mets very high marks for their farm system."

Close on the heels of the Burning Legion, John Maynard Keynes has descended upon the world of Azeroth. If you don't know about World of Warcraft, it's likely you do know about consumerism, even if you live in North Korea or Berkeley, California. Within what is quickly becoming the most popular
time wasting diversion Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) ever, fantasy game characters have adventures and kill things for gold. Those characters then use that gold to buy better weapons and armor to kill more things and have more adventures. Unfortunately, there is a glitch, but it's not in the game. The problem is that those too busy on Earth for adventure in Azeroth are seeking, or being sought by, individuals who engage in "gold farming." It works like this:
- A gold farmer collects gold by adventuring and killing things in the game world.
- The "gold" is then sold to other players for actual money in the real world.
As surreal as it may sound, real money is at play in MMORPGs through such activity. Consider Julian Dibbel, an Ultima Online player and virtual entrepreneur, who is also writing a book about his experience. In less than a year he amassed $11,000 in real money, $3900 in his last month, reselling items acquired in the game world. While such behavior may improve a bank account balance, it upsets game balance, and in the case of World of WarCraft (WoW) is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use.
You may not exploit World of Warcraft for any commercial purpose, including, but not limited to, performing "power leveling" services to other users of World of Warcraft for "real" money.
Blizzard Entertainment does not recognize any property claims outside of World of Warcraft or the purported "sale" in the "real world" of anything related to World of Warcraft. Accordingly, you may not sell items for "real" money or trade items for things of value outside of World of Warcraft.
It is unsurprising then that Blizzard brought down the +10 Hammer of Eternal Banishment on over a thousand WoW user accounts this weekend.
Over the recent weeks we have been investigating the activities of certain individuals who have been farming gold in order to sell it in exchange for real world currency. After researching the situation, we have issued permanent suspensions to over one thousand accounts that have been engaging in this practice. We do not condone such actions and will take decisive action as they are against our policy and damage the game economy as a whole. We will continue researching this matter.
Setting aside the debate over recent problems with the servers and whether Blizzard might better spend time and effort solving that issue for good, is anyone else surprised by the "game economy" phrase? In the past Blizzard has not hesitated to act in order to maintain the gaming experience in its other titles, but the scope and severity of the penalty is interesting in this case. One could argue that the "gods" of Azeroth are seeking to protect their world from the potential ravages of inflation created by economic activity in our world. Is there more at stake here than the play experience? Probably not, but the process of building self-sustaining virtual worlds with their own ecologies of economy and social order won't remain the fodder of movies forever.

Uganda is a mountainous country that straddles the equator. It has an abundance of fertile farmland and 85 percent of the people are subsistence farmers. In 1997, half of Uganda's population lived below the poverty line. Uganda was also one of the first African nations to be affected by the HIV and AIDS crisis. Extreme poverty has hindered the government's ability to halt the devastating affects of the AIDS epidemic on the people of Uganda.
In the early 1980's, Uganda was a refuge for emigrants from the war-torn nations of Rwanda and the Congo. Today Rwandan and Sudanese refugees continue to settle in western and northern Uganda. Additionally, residents of northern Uganda continue to face threats by the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel terrorist group that targets civilians and acts as a drain on government resources.

of diagnostic tool for this elusive autoimmune disease
Wayne, PA — IES Diagnostics, Inc. has identified the body's unique, specific immune response (immune signature) for systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), a chronic autoimmune disease affecting more than five million people. With this knowledge, IES plans to develop the first clinical diagnostic test for lupus.
To help accelerate development of this breakthrough lupus test, IES Diagnostics has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo (http://bit.ly/1BR9UK6). The company seeks to raise funds necessary for clinical development, including expanded blood sample collection/testing and various quality measures required to seek regulatory approval of a new diagnostic test.
Lupus is particularly difficult to diagnose because its symptoms, including joint pain, inflammation, organ and tissue damage, mimic those of other diseases. Without a specific test for lupus, patients suffering from debilitating symptoms must wait for other conditions to be ruled out with numerous tests before they are diagnosed. This often takes three to five years. During this period, the disease causes often irreversible damage to the body. Diagnosing lupus earlier allows earlier treatment, limiting organ damage and improving quality of life.
IES Diagnostics' lupus test identifies the body's earliest response to disease: interferons (IFNs), or "first responder" proteins that cells produce immediately after infection. Any disease or virus that triggers an immune response has its own unique combination of interferons (called an interferon signature). Normally, the IFNs reset after the infection is controlled. However, in chronic diseases like lupus, the IFN signal stays on, producing excessive immune responses and inflammation. IES Diagnostics' lupus IFN signature test has the potential to diagnose lupus specifically and accurately. This is something that is not currently possible without batteries of tests to rule out other conditions before making a lupus diagnosis.
"With our lupus test, people won't have to go through unnecessary and excessive testing, misdiagnosis, and unnecessary or delayed treatment," explains Ronald Jubin, PhD, founder and president of IES Diagnostics, Inc. "The ability to accurately detect lupus allows earlier and better treatment. We also believe our immune-based technology can lead to new lupus treatments and therapies."
IES Diagnostics' interferon-based technology was developed at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is licensed exclusively to IES Diagnostics by the National Institute of Health (NIH).
IES Diagnostics, Inc. is a molecular diagnostics company in the United States working at the forefront of companion diagnostics and personalized medicine. Its proprietary assay is the first and only test capable of detecting and quantifying all of the unique Interferon signatures for any disease or virus with an Interferon reaction. Interferon-associated diseases include viral infections, auto-immune diseases (such as Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, among many others) and cancers. With IES Diagnostics' Interferon signature assay, science and medicine have a sensitive, accurate tool to detect and diagnose disease and infection earlier. These signatures also provide disease-specific knowledge that can lead to targeted, effective treatment options with fewer side effects.

Hey everyone,
We have a quote thread in the Miscellaneous portion of the forum, but we don't have an active quote thread dedicated entirely unto our man *Keats* (for shame!). So, I thought we could dedicate this space to quotes from Keats's poems and letters. Being a multi-tasker, I propose when a person posts his or her Keats quote, he/she does not cite the source but instead asks the rest of us to guess where the quote came from. What say you all to that?
I'll begin. Here's a part of a Keats poem that I truly love (being the morbid sort of person I am--I blame it on my English degree. . . ):
"On the high couch he lay!- his friends came round-
Supported him- no pulse, or breath they found,
And, in its marriage robe, the heavy body wound"
What poem is this quote from?

We are the nation's leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. Please join us as we forge a national commitment to help victims of crime rebuild their lives.
Many crimes involve the use of force or violence against victims. Crime victims of all types of crime may experience trauma - physical damage to their bodies or emotional wounds or shock caused by the violence against them. Reactions to trauma vary from person to person and can last for hours, days, weeks, months, or years.
Physical trauma: Crime victims may experience physical trauma—serious injury or shock to the body, as from a major accident. Victims may have cuts, bruises, fractured arms or legs, or internal injuries. They may have intense stress reactions: their breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate may increase, and their muscles may tighten. They may feel exhausted but unable to sleep, and they may have headaches, increased or decreased appetites, or digestive problems
Emotional trauma: Victims may experience emotional trauma—emotional wounds or shocks that may have long-lasting effects. Emotional trauma may take many different forms:
Secondary Injuries: When victims do not receive the support and help they need after the crime, they may suffer "secondary" injuries. They may be hurt by a lack of understanding from friends, family, and the professionals they come into contact with—particularly if others seem to blame the victim for the crime (suggesting they should have been able to prevent or avoid it). Police, prosecutors, judges, social service providers, the media, coroners, and even clergy and mental health professionals may contribute to such secondary injuries.
How You May Feel: Every victim is different. You may experience shock, numbness, denial, disbelief, and anger—any of the feelings victims typically have (see above).
Common Injuries: You may have bruises, cuts, scrapes, broken bones, sexually transmitted diseases, and a wide range of internal injuries. You may also have physical reactions (such as rapid heart rate and breathing, increased blood pressure, nausea or sleeplessness) to the emotional wounds caused by the crime.

How do you handle young women! when your an older man! meaning everything legal!
I mean; in the dating game, your hitting on young women! what can you expect! nothing! and if you have the stomach for it! you will learn about this volatile journey!! Im learning!
anytime I start fantasizing about things! I have to stop! I have to remember! I must go up to the person and talk to them or with them! I must interact with them and ask them out or get a phone number! I must find out how they feel about me by asking, not by guessing. Im asking indirectly, Im not talking about being a creepo!
Im talking about learning the hard way of a place in life that is hard! No one owes me anything! in the real world, you take chances! and find out what happens! your not in your brain! its not safe! your in the real world, you can get torn apart! prepare yourself!
Im learning the hard way!
I am a human being!
Im learning that Im looking for gems in the dirt! I might have to go through allot of dirt before I find people that appreciate me! and this will be humiliating work!
People can be deceiving! meaning, you may read something into them! and find out they are not responding the way you think they should! or they don't like you the way you thought they would!
2 kinds of people in the world! those who are going to find out the truth by asking the first person source and those who don't!
I am a person that is practicing! and I take allot of hits along the way! truly, for me! its about taking chances and getting slammed! people are hardcore and do not care about my feelings!
I might think I have value to them; and I have no value to them! its all a dream! I mean nothing to them!
They have control, I do not! they have the right to not like me even if I think they do! what I can learn! stop fantasizing, and walk up and ask them! I must respond when their interaction occurs!
Dealing with people can be hard on a person! you can be completely wrong about people when you think your completely right!
You might think this beautiful girl likes you when she does not!
Ive had plenty of girls like me and think Im cute while in solid relationships they are not going to break!
Ive had girls Im convinced liked me! and they don't! they have no sexual interest in me! nothing! and this sucks and its hardcore and its the truth! so you have to talk to God and get back in there and start again! until you get the bigger picture understood!
The idea here is not to be alone! its about ending loneliness!

We're nearing the end of flash
My gosh, I ACTUALLY laughed out loud at dragonoid.Dayum. I'm the "mean bulleh" when dragonoid is...Well dragonoid. Everyone gets what I mean when I say that.Back to the topic, who was bullying the newbies? What happened?
WRONGHe called me names, always laughs at my face, ruins my life, rubbing the fact that I'm gonna go to PoW again in my face, and HE IS EVIL!!! I wish I could shove atorch up his face so he could DIE!
Nice thread. Get this, red ALWAYS bullies me!I cannot forget the insults he's thrown at me.That guy is a PITA, and he wants to dmao of sploder, so yeah.
Clearly dragonoid can't come up with a better argument than calling people names with big font size.Truly, this is the peak of intelligence.
Hey dragqueen! t(^_^) you're posting these things to a moderator.
Hmm, not so talkative now are ya?
I thought so. xDWell, I guess you'll be more careful what you say now. You SHOULD have been anyway, but oh well.It only took telling you I'm a mod to get you to shut up.
Forgive me for my opinion, but I don't find it awful to be tricked. The forum has a large lack of serious discussion, we normally get off to tricking people for fun. We do that to everybody, really.
HEY RED!* Bahamut pulls out greatsword then stabs red.
red was treating me like crap too. He is a big troll who thinks he's so cool 'cause he's a mod. He is an EVIL LITTLE MAN.
Oh, I get it. You're Dragonoid on a different account.Well, I'll tell you one thing.I can troll sometimes. So can Red-- but we're both nice people, lol.
I hate it when people do that. -_- *stares at Glowie and Windeh*
but we're both nice people, lol.

Existing home sales fell more than forecast by 8.6% in the month of November. Purchases of new homes fell 2.9% in the same period and both reports show record price declines over the past year. This news has sent the markets lower, once again demonstrating how difficult it is for the market to make headway in the face of a constant stream of negative economic data. I would actually contend that the markets are divergent from the data in the fact they have held up for the past 3 months. I believe that to be a technical condition that will not last.
NAR and other "sales" oriented people (almost everyone now in our economy) have been saying over and over how this is going to turn around and that demand is "pent up." I've been saying all along that the only pent up demand is that of the sellers who would like to sell but can't. Thus, I believe that the trend in housing will continue as there is a "shadow" inventory that is just waiting to list at the first sign of stability. I also note that this phenomenon is putting a damper on job mobility. Those who may have sold in the go, go days of real estate are now maybe stuck and thus their mobility is limited.
I have been expecting that some of the major homebuilders would fail outright, and while some of the mid-tier builders have gone out of business, the very largest have not. I believe that will change once we get into wave 'C' down, that's where the businesses who are hanging on and "hoping" will be forced to concede defeat. Their credit long since cutoff, it's only a matter of time.

God Squad: A Mother's Day keeper
I'm not a big fan of secular, made-up holidays, but Mother's Day is different. I love Mother's Day, and tomorrow I will call my mother, Rosalie, in Milwaukee and tell her that I love her. She'll tell me that she loves me and thank me for the fruit. I know Mom would love me without the fruit, but I also know that she loves me just a little more with the fruit.
If your mother is no longer alive, I join you in praying for her soul in heaven. Pray hard, think about what was the most important life lesson your mother ever taught you, then write to me and tell me what it was. Then go eat some fruit.
My Mother's Day gift to you is a true story I heard last week at the unveiling of a monument stone in a cemetery for a wonderful woman named Frances Szmulewicz (pronounced Szmulewicz!). Frances is buried next to her beloved husband, Harry Szmulewicz.
Their daughter, Ruth Broitman, told this terrific story at their graves. She graciously gave me permission to tell it to you, in honor of Mother's Day.
One spring day, Frances said to her husband, "Harry! We are Americans now, and I want you to send me a Mother's Day card. You never send me any cards, and here in America they send cards to their mothers and their wives if they are also mothers. I want you to go out yourself to the store, and I want that you should pick out a Mother's Day card for me yourself."
Harry was in a panic because he was clueless about how to buy a Mother's Day card. He had no idea where to buy such a card or what one looked like or what to write in it. Harry ran a carpentry shop, and he asked Mr. Miller, one of his employees, to help him.
Mr. Miller was happy to help Harry, who was not only his employer but also his friend, so he went out on his lunch hour, found a Mother's Day card, bought the card, filled out the card, put it in the envelope, licked it closed and gave it to Harry, who presented it to his wife, Frances, on the morning of Mother's Day. Frances smiled and before opening the card, gave Harry a hug and said, "Now, that's better! Harry, today you are a real American." That card was placed in the corner of the dining room mirror, and every time Ruth would pass it she would read it and smile and laugh the way Frances smiled and laughed.
The card read: "For Frances Szmulewicz.
Happy Mother's Day from Your husband, Harry Szmulewicz."
QWhy are there so many different Christian denominations? God is God, and Jesus is Jesus, so no one denomination is better than another, yet churches often don't behave that way.
-- T., via email
AThe first reason for the differences in Christian belief occurred in the first century following the death of Christ, when the Apostle Paul split off from the Jerusalem church by teaching that Christians no longer had to observe Jewish law, such as keeping kosher.
The next big split came during the Reformation in the 16th century, when Martin Luther and other Christians split off from the Catholic Church, primarily over the authority of the Pope. In the 20th century, there was another split among mainline and evangelical Protestants.
The reason these splits occurred is that Christianity is a religion defined by belief, not by birth. If you are born a Jew, a Hindu or a Native American, you are automatically a member of that ethnic/ historical/theological community, whether you believe everything or none of the religious teachings of the group.
Christianity and Islam are different. They define membership in the religious community based on belief, therefore these groups are more susceptible to schisms and denominational disputes.
I would urge you to look beyond the divisions to the broad areas of agreement among all Christian denominations: All Christians believe that Jesus died to atone for the sins of all humanity. All Christians believe that God is one, but that God appears in the triune form of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah and that he will come again to save the world and resurrect the dead.
What joins Christians is, I hope you can come to believe, far more important than what divides them.
