the quote is the love of money is the root of all evil

I believe that the quote is actually “The LOVE of money is the root of all evil"
hello Jno, I am glad that two of us know our bible
The correct quote is,"The LOVE of money is the root of all evil".
Agree.
Fifth person to agree it's 'The love of money' x
well well aren’t we a holy lot!
...but the lack of it is the root of quite a lot of evil. ;o)
I suppose it could be a quote from somewhere else.
Bazinga!
OOOh. Well that shut us up Goodgoalie :)
Not true though.
Who's Bazinga, Doug? Haven't seen any of his posts on here
Haaaa! Douglas, you're incorrigible! Night all. x
Crivens!
I doubt lack has generated much evil; but greed may often use lack as an excuse.
You could say 'Money is the root of all evil' that would cover both the love of it and the lack of it, both can lead to 'Evil'.
To test this theory you would need to find a society where money and the concept of money does not exist and then see if there was any 'evil' present in that society. That may be hard in the 21st century.
The closest I have heard of recently may be a tribe in the remote central highlands of New Guinea who were first contacted by outsiders only last year. They live only by gathering food from the rainforest they live in and share everything equally. The older you are the more respect you get so the oldest members of the tribe are the most respected and important people.
If the tribe you refer to don't have any sort of currency or barter there will still be greed and envy leading to evil acts - it is human nature.

Somebody will always have more.
