I believe there are some who will exchange their beliefs for the sake o money!. Given the biggest opportunity in life, one will settle for the billions which he may not get in his whole life!.
Money makes everything from pleasures to happiness!. Humans are just humans!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

Thanks for asking!. Have a great day!Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I think money is loathsome selfish appetite, even its charity is only a delay of more suffering for those encompassed by their menacers, and vices!.

At best giving monetary aid is like having compassion for animals, as it serves only bodily needs, and sense pleasures!. It is one of the eternal commandments of God to provide this aid, but it is not to be sought for oneself!.

Not all prices are to be paid with cash or credit, but as always I appreciate your mind my friend!.

God bless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If somebody believes in a god that has a particular name and form, then for him/her there might be a dilemma regarding the choice between this particular god and the great money being offered!. He may give in after some struggle and accept the offer!. But for somebody who knows the god as himself/herself or, to be even more clear, knows the god as the driver sitting within himself/herself monitoring and guiding him/her, initiating each and every action then he/she may jump at the offer and take it at once! For he/she would know that the god has no name or form and it is inconsequential if one stops calling him by any one name!. Other names would be perfectly OK!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is it in your view that the only thing of value is money!? I heard it said that a lot of people try to live on love and not money!.

In regards to the fact that you have been told that everything does have a price, I do believe that is true!. However in my view not always is the price paid in money!. It could be paid in foolishness, blood, sweat, or tears!.

Give this some thought for a while then restate your question!. See it maybe as "Will anyone change their God for anything they see as being of value to them at the time they do consider a possible change!?"!. Maybe this will give you a different view!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A believer shall consider whatever he gets as a benediction from Him, and then only he can be pragmatic!. The price is forsaking possessiveness for trusteeship!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ther are millions who have given their lives for their Beliefs, Ideals, and for their country and loved ones!.Are they not pragmatic !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well anything is possible of course!. But you know there are genuine and decent believers out there, those people are like 1% though (meaning hard to find among the masses)!. No I'm not religious!. Just my observations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

So you have not heard of poor people of the third world countries being converted to 'other religion'by offer of money(no need to talk of million or billion) !Www@QuestionHome@Com
