I couldn't disagree more. If people kill for money, it's not a sign that the love of money is evil, it's a sign that the person has something seriously wrong with them. I just don't believe that money can drive someone to abandon their morals to such an extent, in the same way that I don't believe that rock music, video games etc are the cause of high school shootings.
As for feeling blessed if God deems you worthy enough to become rich, that's just nonsense. If there is a God who is separate to this universe (which I don't believe for a start), then I believe he'd give every person the tools to achieve everything they could dream of, be it money or anything else.
