Is it money or people that are the root of all evil? Or something else!

Thoughts......

You forgot the "nothing" option.

@Tacky;interesting error for you.

The LOVE of money is said to be the root of all evil.

Quote:The phrase derives from a saying attributed to Jesus in the Apostle Paul's First Epistle to Timothy in the New Testament: "The love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:10, KJV). The expression is commonly misquoted as simply "Money is the root of all evil". A more accurate rendering from the original Greek may be: "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil," (New American Standard Bible).

I think the Hindus and Buddhist are probably closer.The root of evil is desire/attachment,which leads to suffering.

BUT detachment does not mean indifference. The Buddha said: "Above all,loving kindness"

Who say's there is a root of all evil?

Not me:I reject the notion of absolute good or evil.

Of course you do, you aren't a fool

Then how come churches want so much of it?

If you're talking about evil as in that which causes people suffering then there are multiple causes of suffering. Going further, if you are talking about people inflicting suffering on others then the main causes go something like this. Conflicting desires, disregard for others, incompetency, negligence, bigotry, intolerance, rage, callousness, etc.

Hookers, booze and blow?
An objective morality is ridiculous... TruthfulChristian (odd name innit?) on youtube said that some atheists believe a higher power dictates morals, I think he misunderstood the word ATHEIST.

It's actually me



I'm the root of all evil, but you can call me cookie.
