In our penultimate episode of our series on the Capital Vices, we look at Avarice. Though this vice seems simple, the Heretics find that there's a lot more hidden under the surface. Greed is more than just amassing money and resources, it's amassing power and influence. We look at the underlying motivators for greed; things like uncertainty, control, and a distorted image of God in us. We also look at the Biblical references of greed and the possible solutions for it.
