Love of Money

For this one I will be taking a more religious view point.

"The Love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."

Originally most Christians would interpret this passage from the Bible as the love of money is the THE root of evil. Then later it came to be interpreted as the root of a lot of kinds of evil.

However, I would say that there is great evidence, in my opinion that the love of money is THE root of evil. Okay, rather the love of money in terms of Greed. Why I say this is because of this: Greed does not have to be just with money, In fact money is the very thing that represents all of our wants. And that is the key, Greed is the love of (money) our wants. If one truly thinks about it the first stepping stone in sin or evil, is doing what we will or want instead of what God wants. I have yet to run across a "sin" that could not be traced back to this. Lying, wanting status quo not to change. Murder, wanting some one out of the picture, etc...
