AMEN.
Too bad his huge foundation doesn’t send a penny to christian efforts across the globe.
My sister claims to be an athiest and has turned her back on the church she was raised in and baptized in- The Catholic Church.
However, when my brother was discussing how he, his wife and daughter don’t go to church, my sister freaked out, saying that children need God.
Vewwwwy puzzling.
Isn’t he and his wife a big pro-abortion and pro-contraception advocate?
Melinda and Bill are HUGE Pro-Abortionists.....maybe Jesus will change their minds before they die.
The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It is where it all starts.
He seems a little mixed up and unsure.
Reminiscent of the altar on Mars hill that the learned men of Athens had built and dedicated, “To the unknown god.” (Acts 17:22-23) St. Paul then witnessed to them about the God he knew and to whom he dedicated his life.
Puts him light years ahead of your typical Silicon Valley elites. Keep praying, there is hope for him.
I’d never believe a single word from Bill Gates.
He is only interested in one thing...Bill Gates.
If he is saying this, it means he is trying to manipulate someone into doing something HE wants.
Terrific! Good for him! Too bad he’d enslave and/or kill us all for “the greater good” just like the rest of his leftist buddies.
Take THAT, angry atheists!
Bill, who wants medical care rationed, must be worried that maybe he could be wrong. So he is puttin’ his chip in for God, just in csse he is wrong.
LOL
It this the same Bill Gates to advocates eugenics and abortion?
He may go to church, but he isn’t be a Catholic.
“The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important. We’ve raised our kids in a religious way; they’ve gone to the Catholic church that Melinda goes to and I participate in. I’ve been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that’s kind of a religious belief. I mean, it’s at least a moral belief,” Gates says in an interview with Rolling Stone in the March 27 issue of the magazine.

Many years ago I was involved in a charity fund raising event w/ Bill Gates SR and Bill Gates JR. I can’t say I ‘know’ either men in the sense of knowing what is in their hearts. I also cannot defend or decry Microsoft. What I can say, through my own observation, is both of the Gate’s men appeared passionate about helping others.
What I took from the passage above is that Melinda Gates is the Catholic and is raising their children as Catholics...and Bill ‘supports’ the decision but doesn’t call himself a Catholic. I also interpreted his comments about faith and science to say that there are mysteries or unknowns that cannot be explained with science. Further Gates believes ‘faith’ or religion is a ‘good’ way to explain the unknowns and he and his wife use faith based teachings to instill the need to help others.
I don’t know, but I believe that Gates did not set up his foundation as a tax dodge...but even if he did, I don’t care. I will never know, but I would think it would be challenging as a mega wealthy person to raise children if those children did not have a strong moral upbringing. I think having faith and following a charitable path is not a BAD thing.
The interview doesn’t mention Jesus or Christ at all.
A Christ-less faith is no faith at all, even for those who are regular church-goers.
Not saying Bill Gates doesn’t have a relationship with the Savior; just saying that this article gives no indication that Bill Gates is a believer.
Absolutely .... Any belief that denies the existence God the Creator ... is Anti-Science ......
... the complexity of these mathematical models of how these things are indeed done are beyond human comprehension. Even though I am a mathematician, I look at this with a marvel of how do these instruction sets not make these mistakes as they build what is us? It's a mystery, it's magic, it's divinity. Then you start to take a look at adult life. Take a look at this little tuft of capillaries. It's just a tiny sub-substructure, microscopic. But basically by the time you're nine months and you're given birth, you have almost 60,000 miles of vessels inside your body. I mean, and only one mile is visible. 59,999 miles that are basically bringing nutrients and taking waste away. The complexity of building that within a single system is, again, beyond any comprehension or any existing mathematics today.
And that instruction set, from the brain to every other part of the body -- look at the complexity of the folding. Where does this intelligence of knowing that a fold can actually hold more information, so as you actually watch the baby's brain grow -- and this is one of the things that we're doing right now. We're actually doing the launch of two new studies of actually scanning babies' brains from the moment they're born. Every six months until they're six years old -- we're going to be doing actually to about 250 children -- watching exactly how the gyri and the sulci of the brains fold to see how this magnificent development actually turns into memories and the marvel that is us.
Yep. I believe in God but I ignore everything He says.
Ah, the arrogance of extreme wealth. Why does anybody care what Bill Gates thinks about God? It’s Gates who needs to care about what God thinks about Bill Gates....
