True/false: Poverty is the root of ALL evil?

Is my statement true or false?





Think about it now...True/false: Poverty is the root of ALL evil?
I've thought about it.





I can't say that's true although if you're poor you obviously can't afford to buy things so I could see how some would resort to robbing banks, shoplifting, bashing old ladies for their purses, killing for drugs etc....





I don't know why I answered, lol I wasn't very helpful.True/false: Poverty is the root of ALL evil?
The hands of good and evil stretch back further through the pages of time far before the concepts of rich and poor ever existed. Poverty does not make a person evil it is the characteristics of a man that makes him what he is. In every-ones life they are presented with situations, situations in which they must make decisions on the out come of their lives. These decisions build each persons character, who he is, what he wants to be and what he will become, the direction in which these decisions take that person be it good or evil souly depend on his choices.





so i say no poverty is not the root of all evil for as well as there are good rich and poor people there are also evil poor and rich people.
FIRST ISSUE





What you mean (or we as society) by ';evil? What is evil now and here is good elsewhere and sometime.





SECOND ISSUE





Povetry is definitelly not the root for ALL evil.





I dont see ANY relationship in fact ...
Rubbish. It has little or no connection. Define ';poverty'; and define ';evil';
A discrepancy of wealth/social inequality causes conflict and other problems which you might refer as evil.





Hope this helps


Keep thinking :)
Poverty isn't evil. Evil exists only in the ';ego'; mind. The poor will always be amoung us ( Bible scripture). Poverty relates to some degree to lower levels of consciousness awareness.
I think so. I say because most rich people now who were in ';poverty'; ended up becoming rich. So now they are evil. they forget about when they were poor.
False. Christ owned nothing, actually nothing, was he evil?
no evil is the root of all poverty if anything


btw religion is the route of all evil
no because im a good person and if i was rich i would give to people


who wasnt so well off,money can do good things too it depends on the person it can go either way
evil is the root of all poverty
depends on how you look at it.
