no, money itself is neutral; like a tool. We may use it for good or bad. It is when a person loves money that is evil... because of the things that person will do to get the money and then the way which the money is used.
The Biblical quote is,
"The LOVE OF MONEY is the ROOT of all evil."

Ecclesiastes 5:10
Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless.
Matthew 6:24
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Luke 16:13
"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
1 Timothy 3:3
not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
1 Timothy 6:10
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.
2 Timothy 3:2 (In the last days....)
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Biblically, the LOVE of money is the root of evil. It's when you put money ahead of other things in your life that it causes problems, not just having money.

I'm here in simple concurrence with the other who have stated
It is the LOVE of money that is at the root of all evil !!
Money in and OF itself is not the problem here
It is the addiction and the fierce "doing anything at all for it" that is the driver behind the outrageous things done !!

No, money is not the root cause of evil. Money is needed to live and fulfill your wordly needs. But when you try to earn more money than your needs, and earn it by wrong means it becomes the root cause of evil.

No the love of money is the root of all evil.
Mankind has committed many grave acts in the lust for riches and wealth. the actual money itself cannot be blamed , it is the lust that drives people to get it that is the true evil

I actually don't think so. I think that money, in a lot of ways, and if it's used correctly, can be very good for people. But there are some people who get so greedy they turn evil. There are evil people who have no money though, so how could have money turned them evil?
