I posted this in another thread.. but..
The love of religion is the root of all evil. Try to imagine a world without religion. Who in this world would point out the existence of evil? They'd call it a mistake, undesirable, unworkable, they'd seek to find better alternatives, but without a religion they could not call it evil and condemn it for eternity |

QUOTE(DisneyPrincessKate @ Jul 22 2004, 7:05 PM) No. You can have money and not be evil. It's the person. There are people who get money and become really greedy, that's when problems start. Then you have other people who have money, but don't think much of it. Those are the smart people. I dont think money is the root of evil either....it is the people...we get greedy and wanting and then we get mad at others for not spending money for things we want or whatever.... -Courtney |

Money isn't the root of all evil... I mean, not all murderers murder because of money, right? So I'd say not really.
Besides, depending on the person, the money can be benevolent... like helping out the orphans or hungry people?! |

Most movies are like that, but money isn't just the root of all evil.

QUOTE "the love of money is the root of all evil" - thats the real saying but it got shorten. i would agree to the unabridge version of that quote. the love of money causes people to be greedy. it hits every one of the seven deadly sins. Haha yeah I was going to mention that. There's a pretty big difference there. QUOTE I posted this in another thread.. but.. The love of religion is the root of all evil. Try to imagine a world without religion. Who in this world would point out the existence of evil? They'd call it a mistake, undesirable, unworkable, they'd seek to find better alternatives, but without a religion they could not call it evil and condemn it for eternity Wow I never thought of that before, but that's so true... |

Not always! :P Media does sometimes tends to use its powers to help one candidate in the election by showing you something that tends to be not completely true. Money isn't the root of all evil... I don't think.. Does that mean rich people are evil too? lol |

They'd call it a mistake, undesirable, unworkable, they'd seek to find better alternatives, but without a religion they could not call it evil and condemn it for eternity so you're saying that strong believers of a faith are evil? i don't get that is billy graham evil because he loves God? i don't think so is the Pope evil because he loves God? i don't think so was mother theresa evil because she loved God? most definately not and no, even if there was no religion, i bet they'd still make up the word "evil". evil means morally reprehensible, so even if there was no religion, people could still be morally reprehensible. and no, i don't think someone who does something evil can be condemned for eternity (according to my beliefs). If someone does something evil (kill someone), then they can still go to Heaven. everyone sins...the amount or type of sin may differ |
