Really, that's why I didn't quote 1 Timothy 6:10. That source is saying one thing and I was trying to say something else entirely. : ) >Money is not bad in itself, and even the love of money is not evil, but >the love of money can lead to other kinds of evil, like greed and jealousy, >which lead to even more kinds of evil. Or, visa versa? >Russell But are you sure I was trying to quote that source? Maybe I was deliberately paraphrasing it. Maybe I truly believe that money IS evil. Nevertheless, your point is well taken. I HATE money. How could I love it too? A hate/love relationship? A necessary evil? Idiosynchracy of a wierdo? I wish I could get all of my "me wants" [like a computer with FritzMark = 5000] without money being involved at all. Why cannot people just give me what I want and not ask for money in return? Bob D.
