Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.

Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

I have two!

What is the beginning of evil, and the end of life?

The poor have too much.
The rich have too little.
It is more evil than Satan.
It is more great than God.
What is it?

Jojo227:
I don't mean to nitpick but the riddle generally goes:
"The poor have it,
"The rich need it,
"Greater than God,
"More evil than Satan,
"And if you eat it, you die."

The answer is "Nothing"
