Hot Topics/Debates Is money really the root of evil?

[eLdavis]

There is a popular saying that money is the root of all evil, then there is another quote that most people use to counter this and it goes like this

" It is better to cry in a Lamborghini, than to cry in a bicycle"
But the question remains, is money truly the root of all evil?
Personally i feel money isn't the root of evil but the love of money is the major problem here.

It can be if you let it. For me, I am happy just being with my wife. Money is nice to have, but it doesn't run me.

Very true, it can be if you let it. Which brings us back to the love of money. A lot of people out there are simply not content with what they have now.

Oh yeah, for sure.

Money changes everything.

Churches used to take donations and feed the poor. Now they demand 10% of your paycheck to build bigger and fancier churches while the poor figure it out for themselves.

That's pretty evil.

I don't think money itself is evil it's just a tool. The real issue is how people use it and what they are willing to do to get it.
