Rape, I’m told, is not a get-rich-quick scheme, racists do not collect a royalty every time they use the “n-word,” and stalkers aren’t universally interested in getting their prey’s PIN number. Osama bin Laden, abandoned a very lucrative career in the family business to live in caves and plot murder. Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t sell body parts, he ate them. Jack the Ripper wasn’t called Jack the Mugger, for a reason. Stalin and Hitler killed a lot of people (you could look it up) and a single-minded pursuit of filthy lucre is not the top item in the moral indictment against either.

Let’s check the Archives of Evil, which I have saved as a handy PDF on my laptop. Money simply cannot be the root of all evil. Instead, let’s simply invoke common sense. Now, if I had to put together a résumé, “Biblical Literacy” would hit the cutting room floor, long before “Can Eat Inhuman Amounts of Chicken Wings” and somewhere around “Practitioner of the Ninja Arts.” So, as Bill Clinton will no doubt say when making his case at the Pearly Gates, let’s leave the Bible out of this. The desire to be rich is a path to evil - I would say “can be a path” - but it is certainly not the only path.
If you read the passage in context, this version is closer to the real meaning. Some people, in their eagerness to get rich, have wandered away from the faith and caused themselves a lot of pain. There are almost as many versions of this line as there are versions of the Bible.įor the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.īut the International Standard Version says:įor the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. The expression comes from the New Testament, Timothy 6:10. It’s wrong as a quote, and it’s wrong as an idea. “Money is the root of all evil,” goes the saying, and the saying is wrong.
We’ll see if the master is up to the challenge. Maybe I’m wrong, but I strongly suspect Ailes is playing Oogway to Trump’s Po. He has a legendary ability to get politicians to get over themselves and follow a script. I think the key player here is Roger Ailes. But first, some instant punditry: I do not think the man we saw last night is a product of Steve Bannon’s counseling, or even Kellyanne Conway’s - though I think she deserves some credit. Given that the GOP nominee has had a very good four days - grading on a curve to be sure - and that we may actually be seeing something like a pivot, I’m going to use this opportunity to (mostly) write about something other than you-know-who.
