For years I have asked my Ethics students whether it was better to be Patrick Tillman or Robert Mugabe, since Tillman did everything ethically right and ended up broke and then dead, while Mugabe did everything ethically wrong and ended up very rich, with a trophy wife, and running a country for over 30 years. (In Christian classes I would add that Tillman died an atheist and Mugabe is a baptized Catholic, so at least, if Catholicism is correct, Mugabe will get to heaven after going through Purgatory.) It was a little like the Kobayashi-Maru exercise in Star Trek. I’ll have to find someone else to take Mugabe’s place now.

It is a stupid comparison, because it is after the fact.
No one can know an individual future; decisions must be made before events, not afterward.

if Catholicism is correct, Mugabe will get to heaven after going through Purgatory Catholicism also teaches that there is Hell. Mugabe could go either way, depending upon his disposition at the time of his death.

Mugabe is still a great example of "success".... after all, he is a bazillionaire many times over..... he can paper his walls with hundred trillion dollar notes....
