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.

That scripture is mis-quoted more then any other.
It actually says:
1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Its the love of money which is behind most evil, and I think that is very true. Most wars, most drugs, most crime.
Money in and of itself is not a bad thing.

The exact quote is, "the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of evil".
Money, by and of itself, is not bad or evil. But when one loves money so much to the detriment of everything else including honesty and trustworthiness, then, that is the beginning of evil things that follow.

I feel "The LOVE of Money is the root of ALL evil" as the Bible say; if you don't believe me, answer me here; why is it when a person is dying or close to dying, folks act a plumb fool? Why are we over in Iraq? think about it.

Money is a medium of exchange. Without an agreed upon medium, the only way to get what you need is to either take it from somebody by force, or to trick people into giving it to you.
In this regard, money prevents evil.

Money itself is not the root of all evil.
The greed for money causes many crimes. The love of money upsets your values and you put money above everything else.
Money can be used wisely and help many people.

That is a misquote, it trully says, " Money is the root of all kinds of evil." Also another quote is " man cannot serve both God and mammon(money)."
