Thank you. Isn't it amazing that misquoting the Bible is one of the favorite ways of discreditting it?

Duly noted and a decent article. However, the correctly translated phrase, from 1 Timothy 6:10, is "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...." Quite a different meaning, though not as controversial a phrase.

You didnt actually read it did you?
"Or did you say it's the love of money that's the root of all evil? To love a thing is to know and love its nature. To love money is to know and love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men. It's the person who would sell his soul for a nickle, who is loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money - and he has good reason to hate it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it. They know that are able to deserve it."

Hello...
The "Love" of Money...
To: Orion78
Radix malorum est cupiditas. The love of money is the root of all evil. That at least is the saying.
