Nihilism in Germany.

Historical refutation as the definite refutation.-- In former times, one sought to prove that there is no God- today one indicates how the belief that there is a God arosed and how this belief acquired its weight and importance: a counter-proof that there is no God thereby becomes superfluous.- When in former times one had refuted the proofs of the existence of God' put forward, there always remained the doubt whether better proofs might not be adduced than those just refuted: In those days atheist did not know to make a clean sweep.
         From Nietzsche's Daybreak,s. 95, R.J.

     The foundation of Christianity since the ancient time to present has been exposed to many civil revolutions. Today Christianity is among the first religion in the word ( Judaism, Christianity, Islam ). Those who have been inspired by the believe of one God should not be reputed by the society nor the atheists. Each society has an established government that oversees the interest of all the citizens.  I did  not see Christian's religion harmful to any institution or government as long as it doesn't bring tumult, harm and disturb the common welfare of the population.
     Friedrich Nietzsche, asserts correctly, that a central aspect of Christian thinking was the endless search of the truth, or the :will to the truth" the overwhelming desire and urge to know the truth.God is commonly identified as the source of truth and knowledge and the "bringer of light." But it is the same relentless pursuit of the truth that in modern scientific age undermines the foundations of religion. In his view, these moral beliefs were completely incompatible with our ''life-affirming'' vital instincts, and to that extent nihilistic in that were against"life. We can infer from this statement, that, Nietzsche opposes Christianity, and demonstrated so, by comparing the priest classes who manage and oversee morality and the institutions which support them secretly have the same desires for power and glory.(Friedrich Nietzsche, the Portable Nietzsche, translated by Walter Kaufman).                                                                                                        Compared to any organization institution or community, or religion psychologically all are founded in one idea  to be rich or wealthy or the source of wealth  dependents on them. The truth is that There hasn't been any concrete evidence that human should believe in one divinity. A fact is that, each society or institution relies on scientific discoveries to modernized their lifestyles.
                                                       The German Economy.

     Germany had encounter deep economic crisis after World War I and World War II. Actually, the fifth  world largest economy and Europe's largest, Germany's main financial resource is based on  exporting  machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and household equipment and benefits from a highly skilled labor force. (CIA links). Like its Western European neighbors, Germany faces significant demographic challenges to sustained long-term growth. Low fertility rates and declining net immigration are increasing pressure on the country's social welfare system and necessitate structural reforms.(CIA links)

       To Balanced Germain'economic system, the government of Chancellor Gerhard Schoeder (1998-2005),  has launched several reform deemed necessary to address chronically high unemployment and low average growth, contributed to strong growth in 2006 and 2007 and falling unemployment. These advances, as well as a government subsidized, reduced working hour scheme, help explain the relatively modest increase in unemployment during the 2008-09 recession - the deepest since World War II - and its decrease to 6.5% in 2012.  Gross Domestic Productivity  (GDP) contracted 5.1% in 2009 but grew by 3.7% in 2010, and 3.0% in 2011, before dipping to 0.9% in 2012 - a reflection of the worsening euro-zone financial crisis and the financial burden it places on Germany as well as falling demand for German exports.

     The latest stimulus and stabilization efforts initiated in 2008 and 2009 and tax cuts introduced in Chancellor Angela Merkel's second term has increased  Germany's budget deficit to 3.3% in 2010, but slower spending and higher tax revenues reduce the deficit to 1.7% in 2011, and the government estimates it had a balanced budget in 2012. 

    Based on all of the economy concrete facts, let assert that Germany's population is decreasing from low immigration rate and fertility rates. Without, strong labor force, and population Germany's economy will decline.
