'in god we trust' eh?

Question

ok...so money is the root of all evil, right...so why do they put 'In god we trust' on money? why do they affiliate god with the root of all evil....

and this question is kinda different but...why do they ask for money (root of all evil) in church ( 'gods home', so to speak)

...this has just been bothering me lately...

Answer 1

I believe it's the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

Okay, asking for money in Church--do you think those who lead in the Church (this would also include secretaries, treasurers, possibly choir directors) would be able to do their jobs without some kind of remuneration? How about the cost of the paper and printing for weekly bulletins? The Churches, Synagogues, etc. also have heating bills, telephone bills, gas bills, electric bills, and all the normal bills that a building would have. Money is also budgeted for the Missionaries who spread the Gospel.

I hope this answers your questions.

Answer 2

They ask for money in church because it takes money to run a church. Who do you think pays for the heat, electricity, insurance, yard maintainence etc?

Answer 3

you need God.....

Money makes the world go round

Answer 4

u no wat u bring up a good point but im canadian so we dont have in god we trust on are money

Answer 5

Money is NOT the root of all evil - the LOVE of money is. It's the greed and obsession associated with the love of money.

Answer 6

Probably because the early founders of this country were religious fanatics that were thrown out of their home countries for their intolerance of others that disagreed with them. Sounds like the religious right of today.

Answer 7

Fun expressions like "money is the root of all evil" and "money makes the world go 'round" are arguably true, but they do not define money correctly. Money is simply a device that facilitates trade.

Churches have expenses, like any other organization, and they cannot be prayed away. Since there is only one form of currency in the US, they must deal with it.

Answer 8

money does not make the world go around and  no one needs god either.  this country was founded by white christian men...

Answer 9

Money is needed for everything, even to build a church and arrange for a mass on Sunday. A partly means a gathering, means all people need something to eat, drink and dance and to this we need men and material which all involve cost, a price namely the money! So to make the people to gather and to do an activity we need the money to spend on several counts, which if fully listed would go in length!

The belief in God and the trust we keep in him and to have him in our memory all time we do prayers and follow some religious rituals IS ONLY TO PURIFY OUR SOUL,and nothing more than that! Our mind can go corrupt at anytime and can do anything from inhuman to most barbaric act if it is not disciplined by a course of divinity and this is only your faith, acceptance and a great involvement in the ALMIGHTY gives you the continued strength to keep you well ahead than those ordinary soul who wants to do anything bad at the drop of a hat! The faith in God is to elevate you to be a NOBLE SOUL and that's in your hand only, not with the religion and not even with the GOD!
