Money is not evil. It is a tool to exchange goods and services. Some goods and services may be evil. Therefore, goods and services are the root of all evil.
1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evil:"
First, it says love of money, not just money. Second, it is mistranslated. It literally says a root, not the root, and evil is plural and genitive. Correct translation is "For the love of money a root of all kinds of evils:"

I really didnt mean to "provoke" anyone but many people have been getting very logical and serious about my silly questions. Thank you for understanding.
Possible correct translation, though "panton ton kakon" literally just says "of all the evils". It's sort of up to context to realize that obviously money is not involved in EVERY SINGLE EVIL that exists. It's deliberately hyperbolic.
Yeah good luck posting a non-serious question about religion haha. The usual suspects will jump down your throat!

So I see, people make assumptions so quickly. My previous posts show I'm not really serious but it is what it is.

I don't think it's wise or reasonable to think that people should take questions on here as being "silly."...
If you want us to think your are silly, then let us know in each question whether you are silly or serious....
I don't want to wast my time thinking about problems that don't exist even hypothetically.

Look at my previous posts and it will determine how silly my questions are . You are voluntary answering my questions, you are voluntary wasting your time, all I did was ask silly questions. Good day.
Now you know, I even tried saving you the time. Didnt mean to affect you in any way, I apologetiize if I did, it was meant to be light hearted and silly.
