Is money the source of all evil?
Martin Luther King Jr.
No—that's backward thinking that lets the real culprits off the hook. Money is neutral. It's *desire* without restraint, *power* without conscience that corrupts. A doctor uses money to save lives. A mother uses it to feed her children. The evil isn't the tool, it's the human heart that chooses greed over justice.
We've seen societies with little money that were brutal and oppressive. We've seen wealth used for liberation. The issue is what we *value*—whether we love money more than we love our neighbor, more than we love truth. That's the spiritual sickness, not the currency itself.
What makes you think money causes evil rather than revealing what's already there?
