Money itself has no value one way or the other. It's the love of money that causes problems. See 1 Timothy 6:10

Money, and religion are contributing factors to evil. There is no solid root of any principle as abstract as religion. It's a collection of coinciding events, perceptions, presuppositions, wants and desires.

detect a mentally retarded man or woman - a stick insect - a suggestions well-known practitioner - a Borneo headhunter - and your around the corner neighbor. learn and assessment and look at out to ascertain any way you could to declare they're equivalent. in case you will detect a manner - then the fact isn't a lie. i will (has to do with that till now God stuff) so for me this is not a lie yet I do know it has particular barriers. examine Kurt Vonnegut.

I say it's misquoted.
It's also in error.
I do, however, agree that the statement, "the love of money is the root of all evil," is true, or very nearly so.

I believe it can be. On the news alone, you hear about all the stars, football players - you know, big money people, and it seems like they are in and out of trouble all the time. We aren't rich, so I guess we don't have the money to find out.

It's not the money. It's the lust for money and that so many people are willing to do anything to get it.
Money has become an idol, worshipped around the world.

I would add the the LOVE of money is the root of all evil
You can do a lot of good with money if you have been blest with it.

The desire for money certainly is, look what it does to the family, men and women work way late for it, we sell our kids "time" for it, we sell each other and the time we have to gain it, we worry when we don't have it, we worry when we do have it, the more we get the more we want.
