I can answer that, but forgive the proof that follows; it's a necessary part of the answer:
women = time * money
time = money, so
women = money^2
money = root of all evil, so
root of all evil = money^2 = women.
Thus, I have formally proven that women are the root of all evil.

According to the often misquoted saying...
LACK of money is the root of all evil. Most people think this saying is that Money is the root of all evil, or that Love of money is the root... but Franklin never said it that way.
I believe that selfishness and an inflated sense of entitlement is the root of all evil.

Evil is a human construct. People decide what they think is evil or not. Thus, people are the root of all evil.

That can have two answers actually. The quote is that "the love of money is the root of all evil". But Satan is certainly the root of evil as well as our sinful natures.

root of all evil hmm i would have to say organized religion is the root of all evil. christianity has shown us all what evil is with there history and what nots. the fact remains that even islam shows evils as well so that's my two cents on it anyways

False identification. You have been conditioned with a "story" of who you are that is not you. You are not who you think you are. Those who have found their way to the truth - the Lamas, Zen Masters, Western Dharma teachers - live lightly in the world and contribute peace. Those caught up in false identification (insert favorite government, business or religious leaders here) bring untold suffering to the world in the name of God.

Dear Kiki,
I get another chance to answer this one. .
The Bible tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil.
Money itself is not the problem, but the love of it is.
Last time I answered I was thinking of the things God hates. Therefore Pride was the answer I gave.
