I find that somewhat offensive Jamesart, but I'll let it slip

If you are asking what is 'greater' I'd say God. My definition of God is Life, it is existence, bot manifest and unmanifest. To compare the entirety of existence to a tool that is used by humans, I'd say God is greater than this tool.

Money was invented in order to simplify trade. It has now become one of the grossest, most devilish subjects used to control humanity. I border on the belief that money is the way the world is today, wars, famine, bloodshed; what have you, though money in and of itself isn't 'bad' per say, it is the system we have that surrounds money, and how it is being used that is the defining principle which makes me call it 'bad'.

Bless

Agreed. Money is not God, if God is anything, it is this fine planet God has entrusted us with - his children. God created everything natural, Money was created by humans...and now is a key for committing sin.

Haha, yes. But even money is a part of God/Life. Thought I'd just put that out there. :)

Thats true, but I also see God as the Creator - he is both the essence of life, but he is the Creator. :)

god and money are not so different at all, because they are both powerful. the only difference of the two is that money can control people, and god can't...

Hmm. Take a trip to the Vatican and then tell me that god can't control people. Of course, the argument can be made that those of the Vatican are in reality driven by money but that would be blasphemous. Who said that??

If the Vatican is really driven by money, then money is really controlling us all... For me, the god of the 21st century is MONEY.
