Be real, we don't need MONEY, FAITH or RELIGION

We need resources obtained by others to survive...as they in turn need likewise.
Strict bartering is ineffective (how do you decide how many chickens a goat is worth?)...it's why we invented money...to make barter easier. Like it or not. We need it.

That's exactly right. What's wrong is how the 1% abuse it. There's enough money for everyone in the world to always have everything they need. But, so much money is sitting in banks and safes that no one can earn or buy necessities with it. This is wrong.

Ok, this is reality. Is there nothing to do? Or is there a solution. I cannot think of anything

Sure, change the system so that money cannot be held. People can trade their money for precious metals, land, apartment buildings, but they have to keep the currency moving from hand to hand.

As in, no banks?

What's wrong with faith?

I agree with abolishing and exterminating organized religion and paper money, most definitely.

But I believe in God, and without the brainwashing experience of religion, its actually a fantastic, brilliant, wonderful feeling. I feel much closer to God sitting here alone in the middle of the night, listening to rock on demand than I ever did in a church.

God = love.

Love makes the word go round.

Just as banks exchange foreign currency they would exchange precious gems and metals for money. No person should have more than a million in cash on hand.
