Assuming true evil exists, what is its root?

Laziness, or a self-centered worship of one's own comfort, if you prefer it put that way.Assuming true evil exists, what is its root?
I have no idea, but get me some Round Up I will take care of the roots!Assuming true evil exists, what is its root?
Sin is a transgression of the law of God; disobedience to or violation of the divine commands; moral depravity; iniquity wickedness; unrighteousness; ungodliness.
The root of all evil is pure selfishness. Whether you believe in a satan that rebelled and became a roaming evil dude or not, the point is it was ***selfishness*** that was the issue.
Religion.
God!





Lam 3:37-38 (NIV) Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?





Job 9:24 (NIV) When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?





Ezekiel 14:9 (KJV) And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.





Job 42:11 (KJV) Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over ALL THE EVIL that the LORD had brought upon him.

(takes a bow)
money
Satan and the things he has to give us to Miss lead.
Ah, maybe SATAN !!!!
For the most part, religion.
The love of money is the root of all evil, look at history and you'll see this is true.
Money !!
The source of true evil is the ability of one person to separate himself so thoroughly from the rest of mankind that he is able to think of himself as a separate species.
well the bibe says its the love of money ..
Covetousness.
sin
DISOBEDIENCE





Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,


God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.





Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:


Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.








Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Mommanuke got it right. The reason people are able to think they are better than others is actually natural. When an animal kills another species for food, it is joyous. When people commit hate crimes they also think they are doing good. It is because of some sort of belief, such as racism or antisemitism or anti-gay, which incites hatred. So I say


HATRED is true evil, and is also a SUB-HUMAN animal instinct!
heh.....**censored**.........

Don't Christians believe that their God is the root of everything?


.
The root of evil is that which is undesirable. If undesirable things did not exist, there would be no METRIC by which one could determine or measure ';evil';.
Pride.


It was pride that caused Satan to Fall
the LOVE of money ... not money itself, but the love of it (see 1 Timothy 6:10).
Pride... and greed.
