Apparently because of the size of his wealth, much of it would be forfeited to tax payments after his death anyway. So he saw it better to give away to charities rather than give it to the government. No big deal. Buffett is not some kind of demi-god. He's just a money grubber. Good for him, but I don't think it's some kind of behaviour to emulate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-55825759350068461242008-01-24T19:56:00.000-05:002008-01-24T19:56:00.000-05:00"It's also obvious from the quote you give that Bu..."It's also obvious from the quote you give that Buffett's charitable urges owe a great deal to the ethics he acquired from his religious upbringing, even if he rejected the supernatural elements thereof."<BR/><BR/>Ummm yeah? Why do religious people always assume/believe that you have to buy the whole enchilada? Because it is all about control and "submitting" and obeying the church. This is reflected in the comment - OF COURSE he can reject the supernatural fairy tale part of the dogma and still be a good person! No one says that you can't acquire good ethics by being religious - but you don't HAVE to believe the crazy stuff to recognize the good ethics (which are, of course, very similar in most cases to good ethics in OTHER religions and in humanist ethics.) So... YES, he learned the ethics from his father, who was a religious man. No one says that a religious person cannot be a good person - if he learned from an atheist family you'd argue that religion got to him some other way. I know some great, giving religious folks - and see the same traits in just as many agnostics and atheists. I also see some pretty unethical behavior in supposedly religious people - people who follow religious rules but not the spirit of the ethics. <BR/><BR/>Which brings up another point - the good ethics are separated out by good religious folk from the crazy killing and horrible rules (stoning, anyone? It's REQUIRED if you question the Word, right?) - these people make judgment on the "bad" parts of the bible or Koran, but argue that it is the bible's teachings that are required to have good ethics. But then, what internal "ethics barometer" are they using to decide what parts of bible are across the line? That you should not murder your kids for minor transgressions, or stone your neighbor? The same internal ethics barometer we all have.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think religion is a cop-out for most people - people who do bad things knowing that they can just ask God for forgiveness and everything's okay - "sorry, God, forgive me for striking my wife." Well, I think people should ask forgiveness from the people they harm - their spouses, their kids, communities, and society - and not be able to skirt this responsibility by going to anonymous "confession." <BR/><BR/>I think people would value and enjoy their lives - and make more of them, if they really knew how precious their time here is, rather than looking at it as a temporary stop before eternal heaven.<BR/><BR/>What if this is IT? Then it is beautiful... maybe THIS is heaven and hell all in one place. And so many people are just coasting through the show, waiting for their real salvation, and not making the difference they could make while alive here- as one of billions of winners of the super-mega-ultra lotto of life by being born in the first place, a result of a series of conceptions that created all of their descendents and eventually them - each a billion to one shot in itself. THAT'S the miracle. Celebrate! Be in awe. Someday, you'll die. Don't waste it! How AWESOME.<BR/><BR/>I am a huge Buffett fan - I only regret that reasonable, smart free-thinkers like him choose NOT to run for President. <BR/><BR/>Go Buffett!
