?evil = (love of $)

I'm guessing that the "?" was supposed to be a square root sign - yes?

Yes, it even appeared when I saved it but I guess their database doesn't accept symbols

I know this sounds bad but it's a meme comment! I was going to say by the Catholic Church! XD

Your username made me laugh... just took me 15 seconds to try to read it backwards.

Ya it's me papi70! I'm trying a new user name but still haven't made front page!

Not to be not picky (I still upvoted the meme), but the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. There's a difference.

Her point is spot on you know

Since when a church became a charity? Besides...

Churches used to be more community oriented, they took care of the poverty stricken, widows, homeless. Kinda hard to when the amount of churches closing is constantly growing.

You might be right? i think it's because they have no money to stay open.

Because less and less people actually care about church, used to the church was center of community and every was practically fine and dandy

My grandfather (father's father) came from a small village in Italy. Every was pretty poor because geographically no industry fit there. It was at the foot of the Alps. Only thing around was a monastery full of monks. So everyone was a hunter and or farmer. They believed in good and evil and God played a big part in their lives. Seeing everyone was dirt poor the church donations were chickens, vegetables, hand made clothes and such. My grandfather didn't even know the value or power of money until he joined the Army.

That's pretty awesome story

Money isnt the root of all evil. :-)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
