How has the recent BP oil spill impacted your perspective on off shore drilling? Could you imagine a political candidate making "Drill baby drill" their rally cry right now? Is this spill really that big of a deal? It didn't take Valdez, AK that long to bounce back from their big spill a few years back, did it? Is this really President Obama's "Katrina"?  Former President Bush didn't have Katrina's CEO and lobbyists all telling him that Katrina was only a tiny tropical depression and that they had "everything under control."

What is our responsibility? Should we speak out? Should we protest BP and other companies tied to the spill?  Should we support the cause by buying more gas?  Does God care?

We'd like to hear your thoughts on the spill - whether you drive a gas guzzling monster truck or a battery operated car constructed entirely from non-petroleum based products. Is there a conspiracy involved, or was this just plain human error? Are you praying about this?  Let us know! 

Thanks for joining the conversation.

The thing I notice about responses to the BP oil disaster is our (I do mean _our_) failure to acknowledge that we human beings, made in the image of God and given the mandate to exercise dominion over God's good creation have so mucked it up ... look at the birds drowning in the muck we say we need for our gas guzzlers, and all I hear is whether the U.S.A. ought to hold BP accountable. PEOPLE, IT IS ALL OF US who are held accountable before the bar of God's justice.

President Bush lifted the Jones Act to get immediate reflief for Katrina victims after 2 days and catches flack for not acting quick enough. 48 hours after oil spill a Dutch company offers to bring in a ship to sift the oil to contain the spill and Obama says no and sites the Jones Act. Even 6 weeks out from accident, foreign companies offer ships and barges to help contain and clean up oil, Obama still sites Jones Act and is staying loyal to his union buddies.

Bush gets railed for hationg blacks because he didn't act fast enough...2 days

Obama gets free pass.

Plus...where are all the celebrities? Hiding so the chosen one doesn't look bad.

This spill could have been much less with a true leader in the White House.
