I am sorry, but, what Soros does doesn’t dictate the good or bad in the world. Why do you give him so much power? Why don’t you look at yourself and figure out what you can do vs what he can do. I can guarantee that if you put your mind to it you can accomplish more that he has, even if it is with one person.
Soros doesn’t even put his name on his activities.
It’s certainly not beyond the realm of possibility. Somebody builds those yachts and mansions and fabricates the materials they’re made of, and the money goes into innumerable working and mercantile hands. The trouble, perhaps, for Soros (if he lives modestly, which I don’t know) is his insistence on controlling things. If you buy a yacht or build a mansion, the money is beyond your control the instant you write the check. Then, “ordinary people” without the great wisdom Soros evidently attributes to himself, decide what happens to the money from there. Soros, of course, wants “his ideas” promulgated with his money.
You devalue the lives of the poor WAY too much. My guess is that you aren’t very poor. I also think the poor would be really insulted that you think they would be better off not being born.
Why would you believe these unblemished little souls, that Jesus died for too, would go anywhere but the busom of God. Where is the scripture or the teachings of pontiffs or docents of the church that supports the exclusion of the innocents from the heavenly home?
I had to get tickled by your post because it reminded me of something. When our first daughter was born, we couldn’t afford a “baby crib”, so hers was one of the drawers of an old dresser I bought for next to nothing at an estate auction and lugged home insecurely in the open trunk of my superannuated Dodge that had bad rings. My wife lovingly “padded” the crib with bath towels, pretty competently too. When my daughter grew up, it was important to her to have that old dresser, so we gave it to her. She still has it, and wouldn’t part with it for anything.
The quote you provided was regarding his “ideas,” not his money. As far as his money, it isn’t that much in the larger scheme of things. [EDIT ADD] As Ridgerunner said [/EDIT]…had he used his money for mega yachts, mansions, etc., it still would have supported working people who build mansions, yachts, etc. - not a total loss.
So the world would be a better place if Soros was a greedy and heartless person who only cares about satisfying his hedonistic desires?
But at least he would have a job!
You don’t quite understand. The parents have a choice. Abortion or life. This extends to baptism into the choice between heaven and hell. I believe (personally) that the whole unborn infant thing is based on the parents. In some way, the child is a part of the parents. If they choose abortion, they choose hell for the child. However, the punishment is light, and indeed, the child may enjoy some natural happiness. If they choose life (assuming they will baptize the infant), then they choose heaven for the child. Even if the child miscarries, their desire for the infant’s baptism will suffice.
This is not a thread about George Soros, and you still haven’t addressed the philosophical arguments placed before you. I personally think that Soros has little bearing on the subject. The fact that you bow down before him is, quite frankly, irrelevant.
The fact that he bows down before Soros does, however, have some bearing on the fact that his arguments won’t hold water.This is not a thread about George Soros, and you still haven’t addressed the philosophical arguments placed before you.

In addition, your arguments won’t hold water in a bathtub.
What makes you suspect that I do not know what a “hedge fund” is?That depends on how hard you work, and how much talent and brains you have.
BTW, do you know what a “hedge fund” is?
Money does indeed buy “happiness” although has diminishing marginal utility - that is the more money one spends, the less happiness it will buy.
Perhaps the world would have been a better place if Soros had paid employees more and accumulated less…
The way you keep throwing the term around, like it was some sort of magic incantation.
Who said that?
We don’t know that unborn children don’t go to heaven. Even if they do, it is presumption to say that an aborted child doesn’t suffer. Even the saints would suffer from the loss of their bodies and long for the Resurrection were they not held in God’s embrace. A kind of Platonism prevails even among Christians.
