TIME TO REBUILD: GERMANY is expected to fork out billions of euros to clean up the devastation caused after terrifying floods killed 188.

The German Government is also piecing together a 300million euros (£257m) rescue package for the worst-hit areas.

Shocking photographs show the widespread devastation caused by the horrific floods with homes destroyed and towns ravaged.

Finance Minister Olaf Scholz made the aid announcement shortly after a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

Speaking with the Bild am Sonntag newspaper, he said Germany had no choice but to kickstart a rebuilding programme.

This comes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited some of the hardest-hit areas in the west of the country and talked to survivors and emergency workers.

She said: “It is shocking... I can almost say that the German language doesn’t have words for the destruction that’s been wreaked.

"What I could see, however, is also incredibly comforting - how people are sticking together, how they are helping each other, the solidarity that is there."

The German leader then vowed to fight climate change “through policy that pays more regard to nature and the climate”.

She said: “Germany is a strong country and we will stand up to this force of nature in the short term — but also in the medium and long term, through policy that pays more regard to nature and the climate than we did in recent years.”

She added that, despite the heavy financial cost, governments must fight faster “in the battle against climate change,” pointing to policies already set in motion by Germany and the EU to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

She added: “One flood isn’t the example of climate change, but if we look at the loss events of recent years, decades, then they are simply more frequent than they were previously - so we must make a great effort.”

The death toll in Germany has risen to at least 188 overnight during the country’s worst natural disaster in decades.

A reservoir is still at risk of collapse in the wake of the devastation.

Around 4,500 residents in villages near the Steinbach reservoir in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, have been told to evacuate their homes amid fears that the 57ft dam could collapse.

Local authorities said the situation was “stable but not uncritical” after cracks were spotted in the dam yesterday. The area has seen three months of rainfall in a week.

Fight Climate Change?
This is one of the Greatest deceit and Folly of Humans in this Generation.
This is one of the reasons why this Rebellious Generation will be Destroyed.

Listen, No technology advancement, government, Money or whatever can do anything about the Events shaking the world. These are GOD'S actions to let us know the time we are in. Infact if they make any move in the Name of fighting Climate Change, Expect Greater Mind blowing Disaters.

The Solution is for The Nations and People to do away with Evil, Abominations, all sorts of Wickedness and Submit to the Lordship of JESUS CHRIST.

Any other thing done will Usher in Hailstones and Brimstones from above

The man/deity called God.
First of all, let's list the attributes of the Biblical God called Yahweh, Elohim or Jehovah
God is a man according to the Bible.
God is always ascribed with the masculine personal pronoun HE.
The Bible says that God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.
The Bible and Quran described God as the most compassionate or most merciful.
But, as they say action speaks louder than voice.
Right from the garden of Eden.
God have proved otherwise and in many other scenarios in the Bible.
From the creation story in the Bible.
God is not the most powerful.
Angel Lucifer outsmarted God.
God lied to Adam and Eve that they will definitely die when they eat of the fruit of good, knowledge and evil.
God said to his fellow Gods, let's drive man away from the garden of Eden because he has eaten the fruit and have become wise like us (gods)
So that he will not eat from the tree of life and live forever.
God never had good intentions for mankind with those statements attributed to him.
God is not everywhere, God is not all powerful, God is not all knowing.
Cuz if he is, he should have known ahead of time what Angel Lucifer could do.
He should have stopped him if he is all powerful.
He shouldn't have left the garden of Eden since he is every where.
Common!, the Bible stories are just but a fairy tale that can only be taken seriously by sheeples.
God of the Bible is a blood thirsty deity that is hot tempered and kills at little provocation.
He is a dictator.
It takes a mere human like Moses to persuade the angry God to come down in his show of anger and brutality.
He ordered the killing, maiming of vulnerable people like the aged, women, children and physically challenged.
He encouraged rape and violence against women.
Read the Book of Numbers if you think that I am lying.
God of the Bible used venomous snakes to torment and kill people.
He strikes people that try to challenge his authority with illness and death.
Why am I writing this?
Do I intend to spite any one or group of people by doing this?
No, I am constrained by an inner force to write to my generation.
And to that, I appeal to my family and friends to forgive me for not living up to their expectations.
It's not my doing, that despite my strong Christian background, I still deviated and speak against what majority of the populace hold of high esteem.
I also want to use this medium to implore to all and sundry to take cognizance of my freedom of thoughts and beliefs as enshrined in the universal fundamental human rights.
The Bible actually contributed to my spiritual awakening.
Know that the Bible is a collection of Religious myths, history, religious rituals, hallucinations and magic.
Lucifer is described as the most beautiful and intelligent of God's creations but when the white man brought religion to you, they depicted Lucifer as a Black horned monster just to ridicule Black people.
U got the racism inspired Christianity?
I know that God is a figure invented to solve the mystery behind creations.
But invoking God as central figure behind the creations will lead to another intelligent questions like :
Who created God?
Where did God come from?
Who have ever seen God?
Can God come out of nothing?
Is God really in Charge?
Or that natural forces are behind all the weather, climate changes we witness in our planet?
How can the tower of Babel be real?
How many meters of structure can humans be able to raise?
With what technology was the tower of Babel built with?
Where are the ruins of such magnificent structure?
Remember, when the Bible was written, they were no telescope, no spaceship, no cars, no aeroplane, no idea of space, other planet/ planetary bodies .
People had always thought that the sky is made of crystal stones until science discovered that it was really empty.
First of all, what supports life here on earth.
Soil, air, water, sun, force of gravity and other invisible forces are the physical conditions necessary for life to thrive here.
Get rid of water from the planet and life will cease to exist, same applies to air.
U see, we can't really explain as to how intelligent life, flowers, plants, animals of different varieties started from scratch, but invoking an invisible creator deity won't solve the mystery.
So, the Yahweh of the Bible is not different from any other gods found in all regions of the world.
Superstition begot myth and myth begot religion.
Nothing is really hidden.
Nature didn't conceal anything.
It's just that we have little understanding.
We truly have eyes but can't see, we have ears but can't hear.
My people perish for lack of knowledge.
Let me burst your bubble.
Jesus Christ tried to liberate his people from religious grips.
The Elites (Roman Rulers, scribes and the Pharisees) used religion to instil fear and control the masses.
But when Jesus Christ returned from India at the age of 30, remember he left around age 12 after the passover.
He is an ascended master
He joined group of merchants and traveled East to Nepal and India where he got more educated on Eastern philosophy.
Remember Sadhauta Gautama (Buddha) was born in India many years before the birth of Jesus Christ.
And Buddhism have spread wide in the South East Asia.
Jesus Christ got so much infuriated about the way the people were burdened with heavy religious rules and rituals.
Today, bring pigeon, tomorrow bring a bull, next other time bring your 1st son and first born animals.
Jesus Christ really liberated the people but they twisted his message in order for them to continue enslaving the people through religion.
He tried to enlighten them and liberate them, this got the Pharisees infuriated and they used his frequent saying that he is a God to accuse him of blasphemy.
Just so you know, Jesus Christ was a Jewish by religion/tradition
Though his teachings slightly deviated from the Fundamental doctrines of Judaism.
Hence, was asked severally by the scribes and Pharisees "Whether he came to uphold the law or condemn it"
He tried to separate the people from Religious yokes.
He told the people that they don't need the priests or any rituals but a pure heart to access the cosmic energy.
And that was when he mandated people to go into their houses, lock it up and pray silently (meditation) not shouting in the market places like the Pharisees (Religious show offs)
Jesus Christ was actually a Jewish man by tradition/religion.
But he is an enlightened being, he got extra sensory perceptions and powers.
His teachings contradicted that of Judaism, hence the contradiction between the Old and the New Testaments of the Bible.
And that's why many passages of the old testament are not read in the church.
The truth is that the God of the Bible that is good some cases and evil in some cases is not the God that most Christians believe today.
The God that most Christian believe is a perfect God, that is all good, with no evil.
This is just but a mental construct of God in our heads which is nothing but a mere fiction.
In my next write up, " The Religion Shield"
I will explain how people have been commanded not to ask questions concerning Religion as a way to Shield it from Scrutiny.
Religion is built on falsehood.
Truth is coherent and logical.
The universe is orderly.
The Universe is Conscious
Nothing is Concealed.
Seek, you will find.
Ask, and you shall be given.
Open your mind to nothing but the truth.
Get rid of emotions and sentiments.
And you will be close to enlightenment.
No tragedy will befall you for asking curious questions concerning your faith.
The same way that God lied to Adam and Eve that they will die is the same way that Religion lie and threaten you not to ask questions for fear of tragedy or misfortune befalling you.
The truth is that you, asking thought provoking questions about religion will awaken you to the truth and religion will lose its value and grip on you.
Know the truth and truth shall set you free.
