Copycat kings Christianity is nothing more than a patchwork quilt of ancient pagan and mystery religions.” The Church borrowed heavily from pagan deities already in existence or long before the time of Jesus. Rejected by the academic community, because historical facts don’t support it, it lingers as a vague idea in popular culture. it’s quickly apparent that the differences are actually much greater than any commonalities.

BRICS are already in motion with the barter system exchanging between valued goods, gold, oil or acceptable currency backed by gold.

Spiritual but not religious that is the great confusion. A Religion has great contradiction and conflicts. Religion lives in the pass, not exploring the 99℅ spiritual unknowns, until it is known. Spiritual reaches for the stars with a source of good intentions as we all are connected to the Universe. Initialism used to self-identify a life stance of spirituality that takes issue with organized religion as the sole or most valuable means of furthering spiritual growth. Spirituality has often been associated with the interior life of the individual. Placing an emphasis upon the well-being of the "mind-body-spirit"While religion refers to organizated Superstition. I have dreams with deadlines, as everything I have achieved in life and as well for the history of mankind was all once imaginated. Spiritual is the unknowns, science has limits, imagination and spiritual has not. I wrote a thread here on imagination, this is the key to explore the spiritual unknowns and create achievements.

@Matias President Paul von Hindenburg had already appointed Hitler as Chancellor in 1933 after a series of parliamentary elections and associated backroom intrigues. Depression and world 2 are related. Every Presidents has gotten worst since Kennedy GDP growth of 5.5 to Obama's 1.8 GDP. In order for US to pay back the continuous national debt of 21trillion dollars. US GDP must be at least at 4.00 . America is screwed because the BRICS will get rid US toliet paper dollar. They have already triple their GDP growth and bypass US sanction and going in the right direction trading oil and goal rather than the US petro dollar. China will surpass US in a few years will be the superpower of the 21 century.
