Money is neither intristically good nor evil. It depends on the person who has it. For example, a person who just won, say, a million dollars and gave it all to charity orginazations, that person did a good thing with money. Or plenty of bad things. Like I said, its the persons intentions which decideds whether money is used for either good or evil purposes.

I agree it is. Some people will do just about anything for it. Once people get loads of it they change.

Money can corrupt people and make them do terrible things, but it's not the root of evil itself. Hate can also make people do bad things--as can love, jealousy, etc. Temptation and greed are perhaps the root of much of the evil that occurs.

To a large extent it is. But actually the root cause is greed.

nope. Money is paper. Paper isn't evil. The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. It's a human thing - not a paper thing.

No money is not the root of all evil. it is the Greed for money which is evil. So long as money is earned by honest hard work it is all right when people begin to acquire it by any means it becomes evil
