That has got to be one of the stupidest questions ever uttered on this forum. Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins! Next to the Original Sin and the Ten Commandments these seven are the core of Christian moral code.
Personally, though, I don't believe sin is necessarily wrong. What is greed anyway but the want for more than you already have. It's the kindling of ambition! Take any millionaire; their ambition was fueled by wanting more than they had. What about Any of those rags-to-riches stories you hear so much about regarding Hollywood? Was not the want of a better, more matterial life the driving force behind their success? But of course any sin can become a compulsion. that is, you can't stop yourself from committing a sin over and over and over. Consider kleptomania.
Yeah, greed's a sin, but that doesn't make it bad. And you can apply that logic to all the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins. Trust me, they're fun!
