None. It is like the say "Guns kill people". People kill people, the gun is just the tool that is used. Same with money, having money doesn't make you evil, but those who are evil with money have the ability to do what they like.

Bill Gates has pledged to give his entire fotrune to charity. (as of 2008, $58 billion, to date he has already given away half of that.) There is no evil there, he simply wants to make a positive contribution to the world.

I concur with Cerby.

To me, it appears that the masses tend to lean towards a scapegoat of some sort to justify such atrocities/realities. When in fact, the root of such evil is hidden in plain sight. However, plain sight in itself is subjective to every individual; so I suppose I really can't say hidden in plain sight now, can I? >.<

Money is not 'evil' by itself, it is how you put it into use that gives it the qualities of 'bad' or 'good'. Nothing is purely 'evil' or purely 'good' - it's the intention that you put behind!

bottom line, you control your money, it's never the other way around.

Skip the religious part. Focus on the life lesson he learn.

If you are going to quote the bible, which i assume is where you got this gem from, can you at least get the quote correct.

The "statement" is actually, "THE LOVE of money is the route of all evil".

Its testament to the stupidity of the average poster on this forum that no-one corrected you on this blasphemy.

I agree 100% as well, but its not physically the money. It is the root of money! Did any of you know that interest on a loan is sinful in, christianity, judaism and islam??
