If so, then explain your support for the money loving Republican Party.
I am not interested in snide remarks, I just want to know the truth. You call yourselves Christians, so here is your chance.

If all the money that goes to different parties, went instead to places that gave starving people food, homeless a roof over their heads, disbelievers being taught the truth of the Bible; then we would all be in a much better world. For we would not be thinking of ourselves; but more of others. For we would not have so much un-needed items around; others would be in better shape. Money has greed with it. Greed is the devils way to pull people away from God and closer to him. As you and the Bible state, "Money is The Root of All Evil".

I hate to tell you this, but Christians (the vast majority in the US) support both the Republicans and the Democrats.
And if I remember my history correctly, Democrats are the ones who have traditionally used the class-warfare strategy to win votes. That seems to be using "love of money" as a club. At least the Republicans were honest about their fiscal goals. Notice I said "were"...
Your question would be alot more interesting to talk about if it weren't for the sneering tone to it.

money is amoral as an merchandise it can not be ethical. the affection of funds is the basis of all evil. one million Timothy 6:10 "For the affection of funds is a root of all styles of evil. some people, prepared for money, have wandered from the religion and pierced themselves with many griefs."

The Bible does indeed say that the *love* of money is the root of all evil (I Timothy 6:10), and I believe the Bible. It does not say that *money* is the root of all evil. My observation is that the poor love money as much as the wealthy do. The poor spend as much time, energy, and effort thinking about, trying to obtain, and worrying about money as do the wealthy. Poor and wealthy alike must strive to overcome thoughts / actions of greed and covetousness.
You assume that my spiritual beliefs predict my political support; however, you lack information about me that would enable you to make a logical connection in the matter. It seems that, as far as American political parties themselves are concerned, we must "choose between the lesser of two [or more] evils." That is nothing new. On that basis, we must consider the issues at hand, as always.

Money is artificial. It is really a love of power, significance, and security. It is in our nature to want these things - we even create gods that tell us we are more significant than the rest of life, that give us power over the rest of life, and give us security in death (we go to heaven). Sometimes wanting more money/power causes people to harm others, and I suppose this could be called evil, but it is certainly not the root of ALL evil.
(not a Christian by the way)

I can not answer your question fully as I am not American.
The bible says money is the root of many injurious things , not all evils
The bible also tell Christians not to be part of this world as it is in the hands of Satan , so any Christian getting involved in politics is not truly a christian

No, selfishness is, and I'm an Atheist.
I've often wondered that myself. I don't think the Christians think about that kind of stuff. All they see is that the leaders of the Republican party pretend to be as fundie as they are to get their votes and regurgitate the crap they want to hear, so they vote for them.

No I do not,the love of money causes evil of course but the sin of pride is the root of all evil because it was the original sin of Lucifer and Adam and many since.

I don't believe that 'All Evil' exists to begin with, let alone that there's a single 'root' of it. But yes, for those who DO believe that, their support for conservatives is pure hypocrisy.

I'm not Republican, but I also don't understand what one's political views have to do with the love of money creating a schism between themselves and God.
