Why would money be evil? Evil, is just a religious concept.

 

Money is just a replacement for bartering, far easier to carry a few coins than a beef ¼ to exchange for the 10gals of petrol for your motor.

Money is important to have but as long as it is not the most important thing in your life its fine.

Money isn't evil, just the worship thereof.

Money is neutral just as fire, air or water. You can use money to live or to kill somebody. You can use fire to cook food or to fry a human being. Everything is neutral so every person can chose and create whatsoever he wants. Even God is neutral so you can use him to make your life and others joyful or use him to kill, make others suffer or create fear and guilt in a person's heart.

Exactly correct. In today's world it is next to impossible to survive without money. It buys food and medicine to survive. Is it evil or bad to survive? How you use money or how you view it in life, determines how evil you can make it.
Remember the old phrase, "Money is the root of all evil", wrong, I think it should be "Minds are the root of all evil"

Agree

It's the "love" of money that is the evil part. To be so focussed on money that nothing or no-one matters. That is evil and certainly not necessary.

So I expect someone to mention "greediness" to link this to religion.

Because we all know people were simply wonderful and life was perfect before religion came along.

I agree with the statements about money not being evil, but rather what you do with it.

I don't disagree.

However it's interesting to see how reviled the love of money is when compared to the love of another human being. Why is the devotion to one evil, and the devotion to another good?

Are you sureyou get my point? Or did I miss the sarcasm in your comment?

Greediness has alwaysbeen there. So one could easily argue that religion helps us to overcome beiing greedy bla bla.. I just expecteds someone to mention.
You know, people are commenting about money not being evil but our love for money is. So how do we fight against this?
Religious people would most likely say "the fighting is through religion".

No, I was being sarcastic in the first sentence.

"The fighting is through religion"? My turn to say I don't understand.

Money=innocent.
People=greedy.
Situation=greedy people love more money. it causes trouble hence evil occurs.
Solution=introduce religion to overcome greediness.

well, i'm not saying this but i can see someone does.

femaleepicbutterfly | 17 March 2010 - 7:39am

i think it's not necessary but it is evil.
