  1. Let's start with the fact that 7700000000 people live on earth, and you can not make such controversial statements for everyone. The basic values from the Masslow pyramid have not been canceled. People , most of them , need food, shelter, and sex , and you can only get them financially. Only a small percentage of the world's population gets to believe in God .

  2. I don't know about G-d, not my area of expertise. But “believe in money” is definitely not necessary. Money requires conscious decisions that are as emotionless as possible. And “believe” is a purely emotional concept.

    Money should be planned and measured according to your capabilities. Prudently invest, prudently spend. Money is simply a means that we need to achieve our goals.

    What does faith have to do with it?

  3. It seems to me that if a person replaced God with money ,then he never believed in God. One should not think that the pursuit of financial independence is an ungodly thing. But without faith-you will get-just money. So many people still think that being a beggar is pleasing to God, but it is not.

  4. They believe in God, but they don't believe in money, and they know that life is practically worse without it than with it. Money refers to material wealth. It was coveted at all times.

    You can't compare and choose between God and money. No one and nothing offers this choice. These concepts are independent of each other. Compare the poor religious hermit and Gundyaev. Both are believers (given their position and according to their statements).

    By the way, this question should be asked to Gundyaev…

  5. In our advanced country, people have long ceased to believe in money. How many monetary reforms have survived, the pyramids have helped to get a good immunity from hoarding and free money.

    With God, it's not so dumb – at least some kind of protection from insanity.

  6. What is it? Whatever the question, it is a controversial statement! Was it different before? Someone strongly believed in God, and did not believe in money? Look at the history of Europe – who really believes in God there? Everyone sins as if they are immortal, there are no commandments, and the Last Judgment is a fairy tale for children. People have always, always behaved the same way. In the historical period, for sure. No, everyone, of course, went to church and burned heretics at the stake. But this only means that they were hiding behind religion to the full, as in the 20th century they began to hide behind ideology. Beyond the level of faith, it doesn't really mean anything.

  7. Obviously, you have a problem with money… And you're generalizing a lot, which is wrong.

    Of course, man is not fed with bread alone. But when he's hungry, the first thing he thinks about is where to get food. And shelter, protection from the weather. The satisfaction of physiological needs is primary for all people – believers and non-believers, developed and primitive. In this regard, the “Maslow Pyramid” is indicative. In each case, money is required.

    Money appeared much earlier than religions. At the same time, religions without money have never existed.

    You can't live in the material world without money. And without faith in God-please! And very good indeed. The standard of living, health, well-being, and mortality of people are practically unrelated to their adherence to religion or lack of faith in God.

    Money is your opportunity, its presence allows you to make life colorful, interesting, and fulfilling, while its absence forces you to live a difficult, miserable, limited, and unstable life.

    Religious fanaticism, like Mammon worship, greed is bad. And the money has nothing to do with it: it all depends on the owner.

    A non-believer, well-off person can use money for the benefit of other people, there are examples. A religious beggar, while angry, sick, uneducated, cannot help anyone in any way.

    And there are very rich “believers”, and somehow this does not interfere with their faith! There were always few unmercenaries who renounced the world to serve God. Well, they serve as an example to some…

    People stop believing because in general they are developing, knowledge replaces blind faith. And the morality and spirituality that you care so much about are still inherent in people.

  8. Because we live in a period of time that is called the “last days”in the Bible:

    “So know that in the last days there will be hard times. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, proud, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, ungodly, unfriendly.

    Having a form of devotion to God, but denying his power… ” (2 Tim 3: 1,2,5)
