The Hell of Gates Shall Not Prevail
In what seems like a well-scripted one-two punch of the culture of death, the world’s two richest men have dazzled our fawning media and society with their dangerous magic in the past several weeks. The sequential announcement of the pending retirement of Bill Gates from Microsoft and the gift of some $40 billion from Warren Buffet to the Gates’ foundation ought to strike fear in the heart of every unborn baby in the world. This is truly an unprecedented event: the world’s second richest man giving the bulk of his immense fortune to the world’s richest man for the singular purpose of population control. Wow.
We ought not to forget who these two men are. It was Warren Buffett who funded the deadly abortion drug RU-486 and has sent suction machines to the Third World to make sure that the poor would not proliferate in his eugenic vision of a white-dominated world. He has an unfiltered bias toward population control and abortion. Mr. Gates is hardly less of an anti-lifer though his philanthropy tends to be better-disguised. He dedicates millions to Planned Parenthood and their abortion machine. He funds condom-distribution efforts, youth education and “reproductive health” schemes all of which are disguised in compassionate terms as AIDS programs and women’s rights initiatives. Needless to say, chastity is not his main concern. He is still young and has made it clear that his second career will be expending these vast resources in generous anti-life measures; he is a formidable force to reckon with.
There is nothing that fuels the anti-life movement more than money. It exists, perhaps symbolically so, on filthy lucre, and with this one mammoth financial windfall I believe the abortion-promoting elite have pushed the already-imbalanced life vs. death battle beyond the point of no-return. With Buffett’s billions Gates may be, in a strictly worldly sense, unstoppable. The culture of life simply cannot compete with this kind of money.
And this is precisely the point where the pro-life movement has needed to be for a long time: the point where all strictly human solutions are rendered impotent and we have no choice but to turn to an even greater power than the combined fortunes of the world’s two richest men. Simply put, they have money, we have God; which means we live in hope for the definitive solution to this mess and they live in fear of a stock market crash.
While we can never cease our human efforts to labor on behalf of the poorest of the world’s poor, the unborn, neither can we pretend that our best efforts towards a worldly solution to the anti-life movement will be sufficient. Only God can win this fight, presuming our cooperation. He is not impressed by the wealth of men; in fact, He scoffs at it. He is impressed, however, with humility and wants us on our knees every spare moment while we work for the unborn. Prayerful humility reminds us where our strength lies. It is not in money or in our efforts or cleverness. It is in Him.
The prayers of the faithful will eventually undo the culture of death in much the same way that the prayers of the faithful toppled the institutions of Communism. We must always, in all ways and at all times make it our priority to buffet the gates of death with assiduous prayers for deliverance from this present darkness and trust that the hell of Gates shall not prevail.
Amen.
Ping!

Life is/was cheap to the Roman Emperors too. Little has changed.

That's right. All the money in the world can't prevail against the will of God. Look how innefective George Soros' billions have been in getting those Demonrat idiots like John Kerry elected.
Never, ever factor out God.
Man makes his plans.....but God determines the course!
whoa, that's so well put. Thanks.
Thanks :)
Well, duh. He retired from that job.
I suppose the fact that much of that money is going to vaccination and curing or controlling malaria and tuberculosis doesn't matter? Lots of children's and babies' lives saved with those, you know.
You have to have a cover for that butchering.
The Gates Foundation has given the Planned Parenthood Federation of America almost $12.5 million since 1998, including funds to persuade teens to support abortion and to lobby the United Nations to advance pro-abortion proposals, reported LifeNews.com
The foundation also has given nearly $21 million to International Planned Parenthood over the last seven years, where funds have been used to promote abortions in third-world nations and to set up pro-abortion family planning centers in South America, Africa and Eastern Europe.
"LOL! God needs your money!"
When the widow gave two mites, she gave all she had. It has nothing to do with money, but it has all to do with the heart.
God does not need your money. In fact He needs nothing from you. But your giving is a sign of the spirit that dwells within...or the lack of one. Alms giving is an external manifestation of who you are...not what God needs.
You mistake giving as an obligation a robot would execute in response to a specific line of code it receives vs the freedom to choose to do what is right from a being presented with a choice and letting that which defines him to be in the image of God...that is...Free choice, rational thought, and the capacity to love...
Understand the Devil is LOL at you...not God. For you to LOL is a misunderstanding...you are defining yourself...not God.
We are known by our fruit.
If your bone to pick is with Rome give elsewhere...this war is fought on many fronts by those that choose to do good on one side (compelled from within by they're own hearts), and those that choose to do evil (compelled from without by passions they have become enslaved to).
But to not give at all and blame it on Rome or God judges no one but yourself.
Maybe we should start holding keggars at hotels with no condoms on the premises and not let people leave until the morning. It may take a little bit to prove it, but I bet we would have a few new little people nine months later. :)
