Well, you basically need it to survive in the world today. So, as much as money spawns greedy, selfish bastards like most of the American upper class, I would have to say that I sort of like it. That is, until I move out of my house and live in the woods.  ------------- I don't believe in demons I don't believe in devils I only believe in you |

I live on the minimum wage in the UK, but have 'live in' accommodation with no bills, so although my disposable income is quite low, it can ALL go on CDs whoo hoo! You would think I'd have taken a more serious approach to life at the age of 37 wouldn't you? Not a chance! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Evil
It’s not a goal that people consciously set for themselves Yet millions… billions… have been embraced by its seductive coils It can hide behind a variety of disguises Power Desire Competition Justification Self-Interest Though most profess their innocence Each of us has faced it in our lives… Each of us has touched it However briefly The bible calls it sin And has identified its root; The love of money If the thought of an honest wage to cover honest expenses seems like a sign of stunted growth If it doesn’t matter where the profit comes from Or where it goes… Watch out Trade and barter are real Cash can be used for any thing or activity It’s an abstract Money comes from nowhere and promises everything If your motives aren’t clean Money itself becomes evil But… when we don’t have enough money Enough evil The world tells us we’re losers So, what determines our place in society Is not how much kindness is in our hearts But how much evil is in our wallets |

My god, money is not evil. Its a medium of exchange. People are evil, not money. And yes, people kill people, not guns. But if you want to assume money is evil... then you might be interested in this little matematical proof. Time = Money Money = Evil Girls = Time Girls = Money Girls = Time X Money make a few substitutions... Girls = Money X Money Girls = Money^2 Girls = Evil^2 (Girls)^1/2 = Evil Therefore, girls are the root of all evil. *bows* ------------- I bleed coffee.

I may have not done that right... there's a more elegant version of it somewhere.

Valarius and JrKASperov: Let's make sure we get the Scripture correct. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil; not money per se. After all, Solomon was the richest man who ever lived, yet he was considered beloved of God because he did not ask for money but for wisdom. So God gave him both. There is nothing wrong with making money, having money or spending money. Although hording is certainly "evil" within the Scriptural definition, the mere fact of being able to afford "non-essential" things is not, in and of itself, evil. There are "good" rich people and "bad" rich people - just as there are "good" poor people and "bad" poor people. It is ultimately the motives, intentions and reasons behind one's wealth and how one handles it that determine its "danger" as an "evil." Peace. |

I have love for neither money nor god. Actually, money is a necessary evil for all the stuff I want to buy, plus rent and bills and so on, but it is merely a means to an end. As for god, don't believe in it, never will. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

You need money to listen to as much as you can, you need money to eat and you need money to get a beer. I it weren't for those things, I wouldn't care about money. It's not the money that counts, but what you can do with it. Money = overrated |

I completely hate money. It's the worst thing you can have. You'll become evil with money in your pockets...
