Some people say that money is the root of all evil, some people will do ANY and EVERYTHING to get money. Does anyone else think that money can cause all these problems and if so why?

Money itself isn't the root of all evil. It's the love of it that is. Greed, money lust, etc are byproducts of the love of money. But yes, the love of money can cause many problems because people lose their scruples to that love of money.

So you are saying that LOVE OF SOMETHING is the root of all evil? Hmmm I never thought of it like that. I could see how that makes since seeing how I have been told that Love will make you do crazy things. I guess the love of money will make you steal lie and cheat. Hey you pretty deep

No, I'm saying the love of money (not the love of something) is the root of all evil. This comes from scripture in 1 Timothy 6:10. Here it is from the King James:
"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."
