Did you join mylot because you want to earn money? Do you believe to that biblical injuction the money is the root of all evil?. Therefore money is evil? Those who loved money, loves evil.

Hi,mirmacs!~ I am afraid I have a different opinion.I think desire in people's heart is the root of all evil,such as desire to live in this world,lust for a better life and so on.I think money is only the bridge that make the desire comes true.Money is money,they have no feeling,no desire to change the world,but some people can use them change the world or achieve their aim. Happy mylotting!~

Yunzhige Hello!, Happy mylotting too. Desire emanates from our minds and the dictates of our hearts. Too nuch of this desire and lust is evil and and as what you said money is used to to makes your desire come true.

it is not money but the LOVE of money which is the root of all evil. Money is created as a tool for our use. let us not be enslaved by money, but let us use it to improve the welfare of man.

Thank you for your answer Luningning, Is there any evil that does not involve money? I presumed that there are more evils begotten by money. Is there someone that hates money?

yes that is right but money is also necessary to survive in the world. i have to survive because its not just me ..i have responsibilities of my loved ones and for my loved ones i am ready to take upon the sin unless and until they are happy. however money is not necessarily the root of all evil. you are here too...so whats your take on this??

Well, I asked you. i am not saying, money is a source of all happiness. Think anything about evil things and I will tell it is about money.

I had joined a debate competition before.The topic is the same.I think money isn't the root of all evil but also not the source of happiness.It depends on how the humane beings thinking.It's not money's fault.

Can you name an evil thing done by us that does not involve money. One way or another directly or indirectly that can be traced back to money thing. Do you agree with that?
