Is money good or bad?

Money has no moral value. Only people can give a character to the use of money.

I tend to think there's something to the whole thing about the love of money going hand -in-hand with a lot of bad stuff. Strictly on an anecdotal basis, it seems to me that the people I've known that are mostly motivated by getting more money and more things are some of the biggest sonsabitches.

But like Setanta said, there's nothing wrong or right about money itself.

snood, I'm glad you mentioned the love of money. So many people just say "Money is the root of all evil". I agree that it's not just the love of money but the love of money above all else.

"Goodness, what a beautiful diamond ring you're wearing Miss West!"

"Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie."

For those who subscribe to predestination, money can be a divine sign that one has been chosen for Salvation. But, as children in parochial school have been taught, "a camel can sooner go through the eye of a needle, than a rich man go to heaven."

And, (Gentile) society, for the last two-thousand years, has projected their love of money onto Jews (in fact, many subconscious negative traits are projected onto other groups). Need I enumerate? I think not.

No, you need not elaborate. Most of us a familiar with your bias with regard to Jews.

Now that DNA evidence points to the European genome having mixed a little with Neanderthal, is it possible there was a Jewish Neanderthal?

Neanderthals were in present day Israel?
