Yep! You guys have it right,IMHO! I wasn't saying that
the Bible says the love of money is good,btw. I knew
that Pink Floyd misquoted the Bible here. The problem
is that a good number of people do the same thing,and
then blame Christianity for their apparent guilt. Of
course,many liberals put on airs of guilt that they
don't really feel and try to affect policy with their
facade of "fairness". They treat wealth as some type
of sickness that needs a cure; what Rush Limbaugh
calls "Affluenza". LOL!
