Money is not the root of all evil.


The actual quote is-

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" 1 Timothy 6:10

People always get that wrong :smile:

The reference here is greed, not money.

I agree! Greed is the main factor with money. I hate money but you got to have it to survive. Do something you love for it and you should be fine. Remember don't get greedy though.

Pfft. Just cause you made it in the world you're automatically called greedy? Because you want to have nice things for you and your family you're greedy? Well call me the king of greed then.

this thread was made as a joke. churches are not evil churches are the house of god. and the humans version of god seems to be all good. its the people that run "some" of the churches that are evil.

like i had a pastor in this christian elementery school i attended. he took all the money out of the school and church and left his dying wife straight gone out of the country. this was supposed to be a holy man.

another pastor tried to fool my mom into handing him over 20G's. luckily I threateend the shit out of him and he left her alone.


people are evil man. you gotta watch out for this shit.

I like the concept of a church, people getting together and trying to help each others lives, I just don't see how religion got tied into it....a damn shame. And yes, most churches are in it for the money. "God" should provide them with all of their monetary needs, but seeing as how he is non-existant.....
It is a damn shame you need money to get along in society, yet another reason I want to drop out and buy some land. Become self sufficient, that is my goal.
Not saying that having money is bad, I would just like to never have to deal with it again. Either become a millionaire (preferably marry into it, less work) or the one that I would like better, just drop out. Live on my own land, hunt and grow all my food, and keep to myself. The ultimate dream.

it says in the bible that "evil" hides where you least expect to find it..
i never said churches or religons are evil . If you read my post , i said evil
hides in the church(meaning people)
and please dont get all serious when you started this thread calling them "godamn churches"

Money isint the root cause of anything. It's only a medium of exchange for goods and services. If money par se is the root cause of everything evil, then any good and service would also be the root cause of all evil, which isin't logical considering we're physical entities.

However, gross misappropriation of money and/or the resources for which it's traded is the root cause for all evil things such as wars, strifes etc etc...

"That which is for me through the medium of money — that for which I can pay (i.e., which money can buy) — that am I myself, the possessor of the money. The extent of the power of money is the extent of my power. Money’s properties are my — the possessor’s — properties and essential powers. Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness — its deterrent power — is nullified by money. I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet. Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? Besides, he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who has a power over the clever not more clever than the clever? Do not I, who thanks to money am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities? Does not my money, therefore, transform all my incapacities into their contrary?"

-Karl Marx
Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844
