“It’s another mystery to me why God would allow an openly atheistic human to succeed to the level Gates has.”
Perhaps God foresaw how Gates would use that money to try to help the less fortunate. Perhaps he’s not really doing such a bad job of it.
Without Faith, works (good deeds) mean nothing. I’m probably a minority in this but I would venture to say that he has used much of his fortune for evil as well. (promoting a liberal agenda, one world order and all that that entails).
