And who the hell told you that one's quality of life isn't about money? Money is one of the most important factors in determining life quality: Can you pay for heating, food you like, a decent house, a decent car, media and entertainment, etc.? It is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT factor in determining quality of life. Resources and comforts are both purchased by money, and without money: one must live a very simple and often terrible life.
Take away every person's money, and see how far their quality of life deteriorates: Back into the stone age.
Money is nothing more than a motivational tool to encourage people to work. I hate money. I see it as a major restriction. There are so many things I could do if money wasn't an issue. If I could gain something or contribute without the need for money, I could. Work to gain something? I've done it.
Money in the natural sense is nothing more than ink on paper but from the human perspective is something of worth because it's something that gets you things. You swap it for something else in return. Believe it or not but before the coin was first introduced, people traded clothing and food amongst other resources.
It is possible to motivate work with something other than money. Anyway, money encourages crime and corruption. If no one had money, we'd be working for some other cause.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
