I know exactly what you mean. At a time when I am trying to renew my Christian dedication, I find myself in a time that tests those beliefs. Evil is all around us in a fallen world. But I have to mitigate my desire for "justice" because all of us are sinners, me chief among them, so I dare not ask for justice for others as I would be calling down justice on myself. I would rather have the atoning Grace of my Redeemer than see justice carried out on these malefactors.
I simply pray that all of these benighted people see the error of their ways and beg forgiveness of a forgiving God.
I agree, but in this life we will be judged by the degree of mercy and help we give to others. Gates and ALL of the elected and unelected, self-appointed "elites" need to be removed permanently from the reins of power. How that is done will be above my pay grade; I just know that after this is all said and done, and we rise from the ashes of [their] former world, I will be held accountable for my own actions to a higher Court of God's law.
Yes, I expect humanity as a whole will exact a terrible revenge on our would-be masters, but for myself I will gladly fight in that war, but keeping in mind God's challenge to us to love our enemies and pray for them.
There is a fine line between using lethal force to protect one's self, family, and community, and using lethal force for the sheer joy of it.
Because of him and Justin, I often fear of turning to the dark side of vengeful hate.

Agree. At the same time, Bill Gates is a fucking psychopath and must be stopped.
