My little cousin (7years old) told me that money was the devil because people fight over it and have to work so hard just to give it away...what do you think???

I think your little cousin may have heard someone say that and is repeating it and not really understanding what he or she is saying. Money is only evil if it is misused, there is always a balance when it comes to the use of money. Some people put it to good use and some don't. Hope this helps you some!

No. The Bible says that "the love of money" is the root of all sorts of injurious things. Money is necessary in our society and a person can do either good or bad with it. It is the person who loves money and makes it an obsession who can end up harming him or herself emotionally or spiritually because he or she may end up doing immoral or undesirable things to get more and more money.

Money is there to communicate. We are the ones who make it the devil..

Money itself is nether good nor evil. It is what people do with their money that is important. With money we can clothe the poor and provide food and shelter to those in need. Or, we can spend it gambling, buying gas-guzzling cars, and buying crap at the mall.

No. Money is only symbolic, in a physical sense, of people's motivations that can be construed as evil, but that's subjective.

No. Money is only paper. Its the people that have the money, and how they chose to be.

It is the same as asking if a hammer is a murder weapon. It all depends doesn't it?

It is. It causes greed, jealousy, envy and so much more.
