If time is money, and money is the root of all evil, then when you're killing time, are you killing evil?

Still don't get it, eh? Oh, well. Better luck next "time".

Often misquoted as 'money is the root of all evil'. Originates in the Bible, Timothy 6:10 (King James Version):
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

1 Timothy 6:10
"For the love of money is a root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have been led astray and have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many acute [mental] pangs."
Money is not the root of all evil. The *love of money* is the root of all evil (see the Scripture quote above).
It's interesting how secular mankind has shifted the blame for their actions away from themselves and onto the currency itself........
Time is money? I wish more corporations and businesses really believed in that. I've worked in the workplace for quite a while now, and could tell you a lot of horror stories about wasted time.

The love of money is the root of all evil. -1 Timothy 6:10.
At least get the quote right.

The love of money is the root of all evil. Your poor sense of humor is the root of few answers.

Hmmm...If maybe you "love" killing time but don't "love" money. Yeah, maybe you are an evil person. {:-D

you cant relate two sayings as if they were universal truth...time is money is just something people say and it doesnt have to be taken literally, is just a kind of proverb to express something else, so you cannot take it literally and relate it to something else, sophismas are based on universal truth not on just metaphorical language

You shouldn't take time literally as money.
