God or Money?

This question is loaded.. One would have to believe in the existance of both to answer objectively...

Since I do not believe in the existance of God the only answer available to me is money.. Which would make it appear that money is of great importance to me which it is not.. As long as I have enough to pay for what I and my family need anything extra isn't necessary..

I am always saying how Money is Nothing and God is Everything. (And I always get thumbs down!!)

People don't realise how useless money is until you have suffered. Every person who has suffered and felt poverty knows that survival can be achieved through Prayer and Money isn't needed to survive. This is why in Islam you are meant to give what you have and to fast to feel the suffering of others. If you grew up never feeling poverty or hunger then you will hold the utmost importance over money. But I, one who has lived through poverty and suffered through hunger know that Survival is achieved through prayer and faith in God. I know that I can find happiness in God and not in Money, If God willed I would live in a Box outside because my life is for God and the more we suffer here the better our afterlives will be.
Our lives are a test, Everything that happens to us is a test from God. If he allows you to suffer than he will grant you something so great in the future or in the afterlife depending on how you take the situation.
My Husband and I don't hold any importance over money, we help others and know that God is on our side helping us. My Husband and I in the past have woken up to not have a dime, not a cent and yet we still survived and God gave us food and strength to help us. With our faith in God and not having a penny we made it through and are still surviving...
we have gone months without money and eating only a meal a day and we are still surviving...we lived without a penny...How? Because God willed it!!
I KNOW I can survive and live a Happy life full of Love without money...Can you?

Money. I'm not going to try to buy anyone
to get them to NOT beleive in God; if that
is what makes them comfortable, then I'm
fine with that.
But, having the money to take care of my
own survival is more important to me than
anyone trying to prove to me the very thing
I've never seen suficient proof of.

I choose God. Because God can help me in all conditions.
I think money isn't every thing because not all can be bought by money.

Make God's kingdom your primary concern and he'll take care of your money situation. It's all his anyway. He is no fool who gives away what he cannot keep in order to secure that which he cannot lose.

I would have to say obedience to God's will. But by this I don't mean blind obedience to the church or other religious leaders. Jesus lives and through His words we can be guided to live the lives we are expected to live.

God! you can't bring money with you after you die isn't it? besides no one will stole God away from you and money will be. (i had this a lot of incidents) don't you all agree? besides you can't buy God with money too....
