God’s IQ Test. #51. “Are the poorest Catholics brighter than the richest billionaires?

                                                    Why did John D. Rockefeller give a dime to so many poor boys?

The richest man in America was John D. Rockefeller.  He wanted poorer people to like him.  His “Like me, John D!” campaign was simple!  His Marketing Team had pictures like this one “make the news” in thousands of newspapers, millions of times!

The cost to Rockefeller?  A few dimes!   He had a pile of dimes the size of a pyramid!  He had the cheapest Marketing Plan of any billionaire in History.  That’s why he’s smiling!

For thousands of years, billionaires have known one thing!   “I must make poorer people think well of me.”  That’s why all billionaires have variations of his Marketing Plan.

Dark thoughts lurk behind their Marketing Plans.

1.  “Poor people are easily fooled.”

2.  “Therefore:  poor people are not very smart.”

3.  “They should not have families.”

Often, those thoughts end up in this darkness:

4. “Poor people should be exterminated.”

Many billionaires support institutions that destroy poor families.  Some billionaires fall farther.

5.  “God wants me to help Him get rid of poor people.”

~

Many Christians understand.  Every billionaire is just “another glutton”.  Rome’s billionaires had annual incomes of 5-6,000 pounds of gold.  They spent some of it for “games” and “schools”.   They spent billions of dollars to keep poorer Romans from hating them for their obscene wealth.

John D. Rockefeller just handed out “dimes”.

That’s all it takes to get people to ignore This, and Other Teachings, of He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies:  “Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.”

Billionaires never think clearly enough to realize:  “God will judge my soul.  He knows that I am ‘bearing false witness’ to make excuses for my gluttony.”
