Fear Money is the root of all evil that I know.

 

Fixed.

I've never seen money as a root of evil, i see it as good motivation for people to get up in the morning and do something productive with their lives by contribiting to society through work.

Love of money and allowing it to rule you to the detriment of those around you is what is evil.

But on topic, I am a Christian and yes the Bible may say certain things against homosexuality, but it is not my place to judge the actions of others. Pretty much everyone knows what the Bible has to say on the subject, so however a person (heterosexual or homosexual) conducts their sex life is the business of no one but them, their partner, and God.

Trust me when I say that God will be very harsh to those who hate based on anything. I find it kind of funny that people who claim to subscribe to a religion that says to "love other as you love yourself" would treat others with hate in the first place (not a bash on Christianity, just on those Christians that are Christians in name only).

money is not the root of all evil.

lack of money is!



Fear of never having enough money is how money leads to evil.

Fear of not getting what you deserve while other people get more is how greed/selfishness leads to evil.

Fear is the root of all evil.



^^ True for 99.9% of all people... but really its that 0.01%, the people that have no fear who do most evil...



 

 

 

whenever i think about not having enough money, i just tell myself "You Can't Allways Get What You Want"

I never think, "I don't have enough money". There are BILLIONS of people worse off then me.

OT: If a person truly is a Homophobe then they are not stupid. It isn't there fault. It is the same as a phobia of spiders or heights.

People who just hate homosexuals or think its wrong, are stupid.



i think men better partner (read as mate) than women, but of course, i find women betters suited for a sexual relationship.
if u know what i mean, i live in a stricktly catholic country i was teach gay are utterly feminime men that like to dress as a utterly ugly women. seriously!, my surprise when i met a real gay dude, which didn't fit the description.
he being my best friend for awhile now.

If you guys want to be technical about it, God created the 'yetzer ra', or in English, the evil inclination in each of us via freewill (to do good or evil).  So it's safe to assume that God is the root of evil because he created it... but the decision to actually act out our evil thoughts falls on our own shoulders (which is include hating someone else of course).

So conslusion or your logic, free will is the root of all evil...

Well, unless our unfree will was to do evil. But technicly[technically?] if we were programmed to be evil it's not evil.

 

 

Well, yes... the freewill to be good or evil.  God created evil, and as humans we act upon our own good or evil incliniations.  So literally, God is the root of the actual property of 'evil' but we as human beings make the decision to make evil part of our actions.  I'm not saying that people have to believe this, I just know that a lot of Christians think that this isn't true, but the Bible actually says that God himself created evil, word-for-word.  They just read REALLY bad translations of their "old testament" that changed the meaning of the original verses because the Church didn't want people to think that evil was from God, and they wanted them to believe that 'Satan' did it...

And everyone knows that any good story has an evil person and a good person... And in order to cause fear on people, you need to have an evil being, "Satan", to be the reprentation of such, and of course a hero, "God", who is the polar opposite.  In reality, God created both properties and allows each of us to decide whether or not we want to perform good or evil deeds. 

Hence, God created it, but we take advantage of it by our own free choice.

The Pope is an idiot.

He preaches how the middle East should put aside their differences and show tolerance yet he is prepeared to be as bigoted and intolerant as they are when it suits him.
