a lot of people are saying that money is evil, money makes a person evil because it is the root of all evil, money changes your attitudes, money changes everything, money makes the world go round. What do you think?

Money itself is not evil. I don't think I would be here in myLot if I hated money. Rather it's the attitude one has towards money and how one handles it is the culprit.

Yes, i agree with what you said, joliefille. Money could be used either in a good way or in a bad way it really depends on how the person uses it. You could use money to help people but then you could also use money to bring people down. It is not the money that make us evil, but rather valuing it above things in life and forgetting what really matters does.

Money itself is not evil, the love of money is evil because it makes you greedy.

I don't feel that money is evil, it's essential to life. The love of money is what's evil. People's greed and the lengths they are willing to go to in order to get money is what scares me. I don't feel that money changes people. I think it brings out more of what a person really is. I often find that people who allow themselves to be changed by money, are the very ones who either end up losing it all, or unable to keep it.

people are saying that money is evil for me its not, bec. if no money a person will be hungry, and how will he buy things, here is that don't worship money, or be slave for money, and you can carry money in the tumb or the other side of life. so if you have so many money is that share your blessing to other people who is in need.

There is nothing wrong with having money, lots of it. You have the saying or quote wrong, in the Bible it says, " for the LOVE of money is the root of all evil", its ok to have it as long as you don't love it more than your a partner wife,or GOD. If you want chapter and verse let me know. yes it can change you because you will soon find out who your friends really are. with out money we can go back to the caves.

I know that money can do a lot of strange things to the mind of a person, and many people do start to do bad things when they have money because they believe that it gives them a lot of power to do whatever they like. But at the end of the day, money should not change a person, because having a certain amount of money doesn't change the person who you are, and you are just as nice if you don't have any. Far too many people just focus on money and nothing else, and I do think that it is an awful shame if I'm being completely honest.

In my opinion money in itself is not evil. Rather the increasing greed for it is evil. When people become addicted to the need for more and more money, it brings a lot of problems into those who are near and dear to them. They are then only concerned about making money and forget all other things. They stop paying attention to other important things. Seen from that perspective the greed for money can cause trouble.

Money is not evil because money is only a things in other words it has no life but money is very useful to create evil. some people will kill other people because of money.

I do not think money is evil either. It depends on the persons who charge money. How to use your money is what we should think .

It actually depends on person to person. The greedy person obviously have more greed for money and makes him evil by forcing him to practice wrong way.

Greed can make people do unspeakable things just to get money. I agree with a lotter that the love of money is the root of evil.

there is nothing much to say about money cause the most important adage that is normally used for it is what is okay for it which says "money is a necessary evil" meaning that it is necessary for our well-being but at the same time the root of all evil that surround us.
