The answer to this riddle is Nothing. When you break down every section of the riddle, the word that best fits in is “nothing.” For instance, let’s start with “what is greater than God.” Everybody knows God is a supernatural being with superior powers, and he is the supreme being. So, it would be right to say nothing is greater than God.

To the second section of the riddle, we all know the devil is the evilest being that was created by God, so it would be right to say nothing is eviler than the devil. To the third section of the riddle, we all know poor people are those with no money or possession, so it would be right to say the poor have nothing.

In the fourth section:” the rich need it,” we all know the rich are wealthy people, so it would be right to say the rich need nothing. And to the last section of the riddle, it would be right to say “if you eat nothing, you will die.”

The question provided is a riddle. The correct answer to this question is nothing. To help correctly answer the question, it is best to break down each section of the riddle. When it comes to God, he is the supreme being, so nothing would be greater than him.

In regards to the devil, he is the evilest, so nothing would be eviler than him. These two alone would help you answer the question, but if you were not familiar with them, you could use the next lines to answer it.

Poor people do not have much, and some have nothing. When it comes to eating, it is necessary to live, so if you do not eat, you will die. Lastly, the rich have everything in the world, so they do not need anything.

The answer to this riddle is “nothing.” There are some people who are unable to answer this question immediately even if they have learned this when they were younger. When you say “nothing,” this is something that people may sometimes have even if they do not want to.

For example, you already know that a lot of poor people have no choice with what they are going to eat. They may want to eat a lot of food but they have no choice because they have nothing to spend to get the food that they want.

“Nothing” is also greater than God because God is considered to be the strongest being right now. He may be called in different ways but as long as you know how to call God, it will not be too hard.

This question is a riddle.

• Nothing is greater than God, and nothing is more evil than the devil.

• The impoverished have nothing, and if you eat nothing, you will die.

• The rich need nothing.

• The key to cracking this riddle is to find the answer to the first line.

• Not only is it true that God is more powerful than the devil, but God is also infinitely more powerful than Satan and all his demons combined.

• However, speaking of more evil than the devil, the evil could be the abuse exerted by religions on people, as sometimes people have religion forced upon them against their will.

There are a lot of riddles that you may not know the answer to immediately. Unless you would do enough research, or you would truly try to put your mind to the test. The answer to this particular riddle is nothing. You need to remember that nothing is greater than God.

There is also nothing that is more evil than the devil. Nothing is something that the poor may have since most of them do not have enough to sustain their needs. The rich do not have this because most of them will have more than enough. This is a riddle that will usually be given to students, but even some adults do not know how to answer this.

I think that the answer to this question is nothing. I believe that there is nothing that is greater than God because he is the one who created the whole universe in the first place. There is no one who is going to be above him. Nothing will also be eviler than the devil because the devil is supposed to create all of the evil in this world.

The poor may have it because there are instances when the poor have nothing to eat or nothing to even show the world because of their limited resources. The rich may sometimes need to have nothing because they already have everything that they could ever have to live a more comfortable world. If you eat nothing, you will surely die of starvation.

Nothing is the correct answer to this question. At first glance, you would think that this is a life quote but looking closely at it, it is just a riddle. Most of us all know, that there is nothing greater than God as He is the Supreme Being of all creations. And of course, there is nothing more evil than the Devil itself.

The rich can buy anything as long as money is involved so they almost need nothing. If your stomach is empty and you have nothing to eat and drink, sooner or later you will die. Riddles can make you confuse at first but most can be answered by having a common sense.
