The Oldest Conspiracy on Earth

" For THE LOVE of money, is the root of all evil " 1 Timothy 6 :10

Anybody care to dispute this ultimate truth ? People will make themselves slaves to it, if it doesn't enslave them first. Most of us now days have come to know money, is just another form of slavery, that grants men an
illusion of freedom.

People go hungary, some even starve because they simply don't have money and have no way of getting any.
Every human being alive on the planet has a right to eat but sadly, money negates that right quite efficiently.
While people striving to gain more money, genetically engineer foods, that are tasteless and a detriment to our bodies. instead of nourishing them.

Money is a man made thing so, why wouldn't that mean that those who make the money, have a never ending supply. Certainly having that kind of power, over men and society, would cause any man to believe he is God sooner of later. Just think, what would you do with a never ending supply of money ?

People will kill each other for even the smallest amounts of money. Some kill themselves because they could never get enough. Others because they lost all of thiers somehow or another. People will lie, cheat, con. steal,
even sell thier own children for money. Indeed Mammon, was coined as a false god. A demon of unjust worldly
gain. The english word money finds it's roots in Mammon.

Money divides humans into classes and enables those who have it, to dominate or eliminate and judge those who don't.

All of the evil in this world suddenly looks very weak when we realise we don't even need it. We can have a world with out money and all this crap that comes with it. I'm not just talking about a cashless society either. I'm talking about a society where everyone lives equally and comfortably. And I believe the key, is to nagate the oldest conspiracy I know, that has succeeded from as far back as our memory goes. We should try something new.

That's what that verse being in the Bible tells me

The word "money does not have origins in the word "Mammon". Mammon is greed, riches and wealth.

Money is just a means to exchange goods and services. It is convenient to blame money for all the woes of the world, but that's too simplistic. Mammon (i.e. greed) is a problem and greed may be made manifest by a seeking to accumulate more and more money for selfish and self serving reasons, but that does not make money bad per se.

And where does that "right to eat" that every human being on the planet has come from exactly?

I could walk out of my house right now with not a cent to my name and eat, it might not be a steak or corn or a hamburger but I could eat.

I think I would stop thinking of things as rights, because there are none. You have a right to die and thats about it really. Everything else is subjective.

It didn't take too long at all for people to enter this thread and turn the O.P.'s assertion into "money is the root of all evil" even though Randy was diligent in his effort to highlight in all caps FOR THE LOVE of all money. There is a difference.

money is a modern concept

the oldest conspiracy would have to be murder

zogg and chakka murdered ugga for his club and speartips

but seriously, the concept of self is the root of all evil. you wouldn't hoard anything if you felt part of a community

so it is the idea of individualism or "self" that is the root of all evil

Love conquers money.

Try say there is humor in truth, and truth in humor. I searched for a vid, but could find none. Fortunately, we have a script. For your concideration, the Venture Brothers:

HUNTER
Now, let me get a good look at you. Good god they're making them big nowadays! Don't they know there's a gas crunch on? Look at the size of you!
[Brock looks at his arms and hands with some confusion]

HUNTER
[clears throat] Samson, Brock. Born Omaha, Nebraska to a single mother. Half Swedish, quarter Polish, quarter Winnebago! You lost your virginity at fourteen and have one brother and you enjoy motorcross. The Brock Samson you knew and were is dead! [he lights Brock's file folder on fire with his cigarette] Happy birthday, Frankenstein! You're OSI's baby now. Are you prepared to do whatever your country asks of you?

BROCK
Yes.

HUNTER
Can you keep your head about you when confronted with mind-blowing weirdness at every turn?!

BROCK
Yes.

HUNTER
Are you ready for anything?

BROCK
Yes!

[pause]

HUNTER
Are you still ready for anything?

BROCK
Ye-

[HUNTER extends a club-like weapon and smashes Brock across the knees]

HUNTER
Wr-ong!!

BROCK
[in pain] Oh son of a bitch!!

HUNTER
Lesson number one; trust no one. The minute god crapped out the third caveman a conspiracy was hatched against one of them. Get up damn you!!
[Brock groans and gets to his feet. Gathers tosses Brock a jetpack.]

HUNTER
Strap her on, kid. Your training starts now. When I'm through with you you'll be a member of the elite agency that's been thanklessly defending this bigass country since the second American Revolution. The invisible one.
[Hunter hits a button on the wall and the wall b behind him slides open to reveal that they have been on a plane the entire time. Brock looks highly surprised.]

HUNTER
Welcome to the Office of Secret Intelligence, Samson. [he flies out of the office]
