Well, I have had some coffee now and am in a more rational state of mind. I will, therefore, give your post more attention.

My response, to which you replied, was very narrowly focused. Orion had consistently referred those who posted that they believed the love of money is the root of all evil to post #9. Post 9 contains a short passage which, allegedly, attempts to refute the biblical notion (I think that was the intent. Orion never made that clear).

So, my post was aimed ONLY at post 9 and Orion's constant effort to get everyone who quoted the biblical text to read it--as if that short passage were going to cause some epiphany and would change their mind.

Incorrect, the reason I posted #9 was to show that Ayn Rand is aware that the correct biblical phrase is "The love of money is the root of all evil", because I was sick of people flaming me telling me that her arguement was completely invalid because she couldn't even get the phrase right. I thought I had made my purpose clear,(though I guess not clear enough) in Post #41.
