The bible says that money is the root of all evil.
Quote that? I believe it actually says the
love of money is the root of all evil.
New International Version (©2011)
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
II have seen this misquoted so many times. The LOVE of money is the root of ALL KINDS of evil, not all evil.
Money is not evil in itself but I think everyone could agree that loving it can lead to some serious problems for sure.
I believe Ann Rand shed a few woods over this (in the book: Atlas Shrugged).
