A friend sent me this riddle by text today. See if you can work it out.
It is one word.
The word has 7 letters.
Preceded by God
Greater than God
More evil than the Devil.
All poor people have it.
Wealthy people need it.
If you eat it, you will die.

WHAT IS IT?

Thanks for this - not come across it before. I won't put the answer up - you probably don't want that - but I solved it from the 'greater than God' line. If you've been preaching for 40 years, there's an automatic response to that line.

I'll try it on the Church next Sunday!

Why do people do this? Five minutes after the first posting. It must be "Aren't I clever?"

duckie - a word of advice - when the poster indicates they don't want the answer on the forum, then please don't provide the answer.

However, well done for solving it so quickly.

To be fair to duckie, the original poster did NOT ask anyone not to post the answer!
