It is not that money alone is evil, it is that it distracts us from the only thing that makes the fallen world tolerable. That is faith that eternal life exists. There is only one door to salvation, but thank God that door is open to us. Knock.

1 Timothy 6:6-9
But godliness with contentment is great gain,
for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.
But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
