It's definitely one of them, that's for sure!
Money and religion are the root of evil.
It's very subjective. But I will agree that it can be the root of all evil.
The actual proverb, taken from the New Testament, is that the "Love of money is the root of all evil."
I'd say that is pretty accurate.
Money, like anything else really, is a tool that can be used to help people. In and of itself, it is neither good nor evil.
The problem arises when we start putting our desire for money above the love and compassion we should have for our fellow human beings.

Money cannot make a person good or bad. It is just matter. The person chooses how to behave, because he has the will. Man is a rational being, not an animal.
can you say a Farm tool is the root of evil? Money is a tool it can be used for what ever you have intentions for either good or bad 
Before money, humans fought for land and means of production. Money is just a symbol, greed is.
No it is not, the root of evil is your own greediness that makes you do anything just to accomplish something you want.
Root of evil is lack of morals or common sense in some people, so they misuse such means as money or guns, or media platforms for their own good, while ignoring others' probable suffering.
How could you possible misuse a gun? It is made with only one intention in mind - killing others, no matter for just cause or not.
But still I agree with you, some people tend to misuse a lot of things for their own benefit.

Everything could be the root of all evil if misused, and vise versa - remember common satellites, designed for military purpose and transformed in the staple of modern communication.
This is however purely technological point of view. Speaking about money and its ethics - it`s not the money that cause depravity, it`s governments that use this tool to maintain control in any form.

sometimes it is, because when people get a hold of a lot money they always think that they have power over anyone who doesn't have that much money like them.
But after all, we did not always use money, and in ancient times there was no money, nevertheless, I don’t think that there was less evil in that period!
When we become greedy and when we are just trying to survive our lives. We make judgments even if it's not what our conscience is telling us. It can be moderated if we know how do we spend it.
Actually, nothing is root of evil. the thoughts which provokes us to do is the root of all evil. Better we all should know to control our thoughts.
Well, I think the opposite... The poverty is the root of all evil 😈 😈 😈
Money has a superficial impact on our society these days so it can be used to trace evil deeds. correct me if i'm mistaken!!
wrong wrong wrong.
get the quote correct.
"...love of money is the root all kinds of all evil"
not
"money is the root of all evil"
here is where it comes from
the bible
1 Timothy 6:10
New International Version
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
and yes it is true as it implies you put money above anything else. That will lead you to do all kinds of evil
No, money is not the root of evil...But greed is the root of it all.
Money isn’t the root of evil. Money simply becomes an instrument for those with delinquent views and behaviors. There’s corruption in the government, there are huge companies taking advantage of human labor and then there is politics that seem to affect all aspects of humanity. What is frustrating is that no matter how hard we work or how much honesty and integrity we put into our jobs, the larger framework prohibits us from truly succeeding in life. Do you agree?
