The problem is America has bombs too. There is a high probability that most people on earth will die because the most powerful forces around the world have so many bombs, nuclear missiles. So, one country launches some, then other countries launches some, and they may go back and forth throwing missiles at each other. These bombs can blow up cities like they did to Japan for example. The clouds created from these bombs can cause a lot of harm too to farms, gardens, our food on the planet.

I don't know what will happen. My goal is to simply let people know some of what happens and might happen. I try to focus on what I can do each day and not get too lost in whatever I cannot do. It is easier to get lost in things that I cannot do. People do this sometimes. People can worry and fear things. But the only thing that matters is what you can do. The only thing that matters is what I can do. You just focus one step at a time on whatever you can do and try not to worry about things you cannot do.

Regarding the Apostles' Creed

Regarding the Apostles' Creed:

The Apostles' Creed may have started around 500 AD but appears to be very similar to the Old Roman Creed which may date back to around 340 AD. It is similar to the Athanasian Creed which may date back to 415 AD. It has been argued that at least part of the Old Roman Creed was based on Arianism which is attributed to Arius who lived around 256-336 AD. Arius is believed to have been a student at the exegetical school in Antioch, where he studied under Saint Lucian the Martyr (240-312) who was a Christian presbyter, theologian. I think a presbyter is an elder or a priest in the Presbyterian Church.

---

Presbyterianism may trace back to John who was with Jesus.

---

Presbyterianism

Presbyterianism is not Catholicism. But then again, Catholicism has two meanings. So, when you say Catholicism, I may not know which meaning you are using. If you are using one meaning, then you might be right. But if you are using the other meaning, then you would be wrong. I don't remember if I told you what those two meanings are.

---

Catholicism Versus Christianity

Catholicism can mean the universal body of Christ. That is the general definition of the term which would mean Catholicism and Christianity and Christendom are one and the same. However, when I say Catholicism, I'm using a more specific definition to mean specific doctrines and practices which came out of the Roman Catholic Church which was created by the Roman Empire which adopted the religion of Christianity and fused it with Paganism and a variety of traditions, practices. So, they forced the religion on everyone living in the empire. You had to be a Christian or actually a Catholic. And again, Catholicism has two meanings at least. But when I say Catholicism, I am talking about the Pope and the Roman Empire and Paganism and a variety of things which was added to the religion that the empire adopted and forced onto citizens. You were required by law or alleged law that you had to be Catholic. Catholicism became a state religion of the empire. They hijacked Christianity and called it Catholicism. And yes, the general definition of Catholicism means Christianity. But the specific meaning and application of what the empire did with it changed things gradually over many years.

An Influence Upon the Apostles' Creed

Arius was influenced by the writings of Origen of Alexandria (184-253 AD). who wrote On First Principles which I think was later translated into English. I downloaded the PDF of what I think is a translation from the Greek and also the Latin. So, it offers two translations into English in the PDF.

---

The Old Roman Creed

The Apostles' Creed appears to be a newer version of the Old Roman Creed (340 AD apx) which is similar to the Nicene Creed which was adopted in 325 AD by the First Council of Nicaea which met in what is now Turkey by the Roman Emperor Constantine I. The council was meeting partly to resolve a debate within the Church of Alexandria which was probably founded back in 49 AD by Mark the Evangelist who was probably one of the disciples of Christ.

---

First Council of Nicaea

Constantine had invited to the council all 1,800 bishops of the Christian church within the Roman Empire (about 1,000 in the east and 800 in the west), but a smaller and unknown number attended. Eusebius of Caesarea counted more than 250, Athanasius of Alexandria counted 318, for example.

---

Different Groups

I say that to say different groups went to the council. It wasn't simply Roman Catholics. I say that to say a diverse group of people from different denominations and sects came together to create the Nicene Creed which was probably an inspiration behind the origin of The Apostles' Creed later on. There were probably over 300 bishops, pastors, priests, etc, at the council. It wasn't just one group of people who all believed in the same exact doctrines and such.

---

The Sasanian Empire

Some of the Christians who attended the council came from the Sasanian Empire which was an empire of Persian or Iranian people. It was probably the last empire in that region before the rise of Islam and the Muslims.

---

Middle East Christians

Christian churches spread all over the Middle East before the rise of Islam. Christianity was spreading all over the place into Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia.

---

Centuries of Wars With Jihadism

You mentioned the wars between Catholics and Muslims. Yeah, it went on for hundreds of years on and off it seems. History books will sometimes call the Muslims as barbarians. Sometimes, there were wars with Muslims and sometimes it may have been not Muslims or a combination of different groups. Some history books may say it was Catholics and some may say it was the Christians. Sometimes, history books will use the two interchangeably. In other words, some people will call Catholics as Christians. I try to make a distinction however.

---

Soteriology

The Soteriology of Christianity is on the doctrine of Faith Alone but Catholicism are against Faith Alone.

---

The Lord's Prayer

The origin of the Lord's Prayer goes back to Matthew 6:9-13. It was the Lord's prayer which was spoken and prayed by Jesus.

---

People were probably reciting the Lord's Prayer ever since Christ first spoke them meaning centuries before the Roman Empire adopted and hijacked Christianity in order to rebrand Christianity as Catholicism.

---

Burning Books

For many centuries now since Rome stole Christianity, they would go all around the world burning books about early church history and other things too. They kept some of the books and other things in a giant super secret underground library under the Vatican City where they keep thousands if not millions of books and historical artifacts and many different things as their way to hide and lie about world history and many different things. The Vatican (Pope) is not the only group burning books and history and everything.

---

Freemasons

The Freemasons might be doing things like that and they probably or kind of go back to King Solomon around 1000 BC or something as in 3000 years or maybe not exactly that long but maybe in some ways. There is also the Illuminati and the Jesuits and probably other groups that probably go back many centuries or longer and some of them may be burning books and stuff too.

---

That is one of the reasons I write about history, because I want to save it before more people try to delete more of it.

Oh, Vril is interesting. It may be that parasites get inside some people. There was an episode like this in Star Trek Next Generation. If the idea of the Reptillian is this, if there is any truth to this, then I wonder where these things are when they are not inside people. When a person dies, would these creatures die with the host or crawl out of the ground or hop to the next person? Can we see them or what? Can they be killed and how long can they last outside hosts? Reminds me of demon possession and perhaps some of it is the same thing.

@Enthymeme, ​the problem is Harrison probably killed Hannah, his step-mom, and Harrison needed his own father because he has a Dark Passenger. Regardless of what Harrison was planning to do or lack therein, he needed his father. If Harrison is good, he would not kill his own dad. It would have been different if Dexter begged him to. But if Harrison was losing control of his Dark Passenger, then Dexter should have or Real Dexter would have noticed like he has noticed other things. Therefore, Dexter letting Bad Harrison kill him means he is letting his son go off to cause more harm to more people. It would be like Dexter letting his brother live. He killed his brother and that was the correct choice. He did that in the first season of the original series. If Dexter can kill his own brother, then he can kill his son too if he had to. Dexter choosing to let his Crazy Son kill him was a bad choice. I prefer Dexter over Harrison. Dexter has it under control. Harrison was not ready to be on his own without a mentor. Harrison either came to find his real father to kill him or to be with him. It's possibly he was intending to kill Dexter the entire season. If so, then Harrison was pretending to like Dexter when he said Dexter was like Batman saving people via killing. If that is true, then Harrison is ten times worse than Dexter as a psychopath who lies to his own father in order to get his own father to confess to everything before taking him out. I believe Harrison does not have control over his inner darkness and he will get himself into trouble in the future. Dexter letting his own son run off is retarded. Dexter was basically letting his own son make the biggest mistake in his life and Harrison will probably end up killing a bunch of people and more and more as he gets older. Harrison will start killing innocent people unlike Dexter minus a few.
